Tea leaves!

Gordon and Csilla have been robbed of car, motorbike and passports by some 'orrible tea leaves!  Just spent 2 days with them, trying to sort out how they go about replacing all their bank cards, doorlocks, car and motorbike.  It has been good to see how blessed they are, but it is also painful to see how high the emotional cost of theft is.  I am sure they will continue to be looked after, but it is a real pain to try to sort all this out in the shortest possible time.  They are finding that they have good neighbours in their area, though.  Many people are rooting for them and have offered to help them, even some people they have never met face to face.  Gordon got an offer of a loan of £1000 from someone on a motorbike website.  That is quite something!  He also got a gift of £100 from one of my congregation members and that covers the replacement costs of the children's passports.  We'll hang in their for them and pray that things get sorted completely.  We'll keep you updated.
