Update on the Political Situation in Lesotho

I know I have been updating Facebook a lot the past few days, but I thought I would update the blog as well. Early Saturday morning, the army of Lesotho over took multiple police stations and tired to apprehend the Prime Minister. 

Here is a link to a great article describing all the happenings since June.

Here is an update as of Tuesday afternoon (Lesotho time)
The Geurinks (directors of BG, from Zeeland, MI) remain at Beautiful Gate with their 3 children. The other volunteers have gone into South Africa as a safety precaution. Everyone at BG, children, staff and volunteers are safe. Currently there is no police presence in Lesotho. Continue to pray for safety and God's peace to overtake the situation there. 

I keep praying Ephesians 6:12 "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." We need to keep praying for God's peace to overtake the situation there. He is the only one that can bring fix the root of this situation.
