Break-in in the Lomie Office

On August 25 a group of young men were seen around 3 AM near the office of Francois Medjo in Lomie. Shortly thereafter, a door and a window were broken to permit access. Thieves smashed three chairs and tore up papers in a senseless way. They stole 2 reams of paper, 3 laptops, 2 cell phones and a digital camera. They also took 20 New Testa­ments in Nzime and 10 literacy books. They left behind a laser printer. Later they brought back a laptop that was protected by a password.
We are not sure why they wanted the New Testaments, but it is one of the interesting aspects of the break-in. God watches over His Word and sends it to do His will.
“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven
and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:10-11
Praise the Lord that one of these thieves has been apprehended. Pray for Francois Medjo as he seeks to retrieve the stolen items and restore peace, order and security to the office.

Francois Medjo received word that the leader of the gang was captured. He went to the departmental capital (Abong Mbang) and to the regional capital (Bertoua) to deal with the authorities and the gendarmes. They are now returning to Lomie with the gang-leader in restraints. The gendarmes hope to "roll up" the entire gang and restore order in Lomie.
