Taken from When Families Pray by Cheri Fuller. “Protected by Prayer” by Cheri Fuller.In the week to come let’s take a closer look at this awesome opportunity. Through his example, and through God’s response, I learned firsthand the power and privilege of prayer. At Dad’s request, the words “He Prayed” are written on the footstone of his grave. He was known to spend hours at a time on his knees in conversation with the Lord. My father, James Dobson Sr., also took his prayer life seriously. But just as we were about to move in and attack you, we saw twenty‐six armed guards surround and protect you.”ĭo you ever find yourself so caught up in the busyness of life that you forget about or postpone a time of prayer? I’m sure the missionary in the story above is one man who was grateful his congregation took seriously the urge to pray! We planned to kill you and take all the money and drugs. “I knew you carried money and medicine with you,” the man said, “so my friends and I followed you to your campsite in the jungle after you helped me in the street. As he ran his various errands, a young man approached him-the same man the missionary had ministered to during his previous trip. Two weeks later, as was his custom, the missionary again made the journey to the city. Then the missionary began his two‐day trek home, stopping in the jungle again to camp overnight. Since one of the men was seriously injured, the missionary stopped, treated him for his injuries, and shared the love of Christ with him. When the missionary arrived in the city, he collected his money and medical supplies and was just about to leave for home when he saw two men fighting in the street. When he completed those errands, he hopped on his bike again for the two‐day return trip. Every two weeks he made this two‐day journey to collect money from a bank and purchase medicine and supplies for the small field hospital where he served. He extinguished his small campfire, pulled on his canvas backpack, and hopped on his motorcycle to continue his ride through the African jungle. The missionary rose and prepared to leave the campsite where he had spent the night en route to the city for medical sup‐plies.
