It was inspiring to meet with so many of the saints this year during
the days I spent at the Monark Springs National Camp Meeting. There
was grandeur in the way God's Spirit worked, and messages were
preached containing practical substance. More was offered over the
pulpit than trite theology. Encouragement, as well as warnings, were
presented in a manner which reached the soul.
On Wednesday of the Monark Springs Meeting, word came via telephone
of a problem concerning Bro. Bob Sallee and his daughter, Karen, who
were doing missionary work in Malawi, Central Africa. It was soon
determined that Sis. Karen had contracted malaria and was seriously
ill. The overriding burden of the rest of the meeting was for Bro.
Bob and Sis. Karen's welfare. General prayer sessions were called,
and prayer chains formed. The throne of heaven was inundated with
hundreds of petitions. Bro. Bob's wife, Sis. Irma, and Bro. Michael
Smith, quickly obtained plane tickets and flew to Blantyre, Malawi,
to be with them.
When Bro. Bob and Sis. Karen's scheduled flight back to the States
came, they were on it. At every step of the way, God miraculously
intervened. It was a huge accomplishment to get Sis. Karen home, but
the battle wasn't over. Her body was often wracked with chills and
fever and the saints continued to hold on to God with constant
prayers throughout the nights. As a result, God brought her out of
this affliction with a wonderful testimony of His love toward His
people.
