Please Pray for our Protection!

Last night Liz got a missed call at 3am. We found out later that our neighbors(on the plot next to ours) had called Josanne(our friend across the road) asking her to warn us of approaching danger. A band of armed men were on their property and were now heading over the hill in our direction. Liz got a call and was told not to go outside if you hear your car alarm, as these men were armed!
The men apparently passed through our property, cutting the fencing separating us from our neighbors. They stole Noah's motorcycle! We don't know if they took anything else but thankfully no one was hurt. However they went to a Community Centre not far away--they tied up the guard, took the children hostage, and proceeded to steal possessions including a vehicle.
We found out about all this in the morning, and as you can imagine it's a bit scary to know that these men passed under our very noses. Please pray that Noah can get his motorcycle back. It's been very needed over the past months and to have it stolen is very difficult especially for him. Pray also for the children at the Community Centre as they are quite traumatized by the
events of last night. Pray that the Lord can supply whatever was stolen from the Centre. Please also pray for our safety and protection(for our neighbors and friends too)--as this band of men are still loose and roaming around the area. We're trying our best to be proactive and on guard with our security but we know the best protection is the Lord's!

wow, that's scary! we'll be praying for you, Nini. Don't let it disturb your sleep, the Lord already protected you the first time, He won't let anything touch you.
