Theirry got called down to Daoula to participate in a celebration at his church.  A celebration that featured his Dad.  The story goes like this:  His dad took out a loan at a local bank.  A pay back schedule was drawn up and agreed upon.  Everything was signed and official.  And the dad began faithfully making his monthly payments.  Then suddenly everything was turned upside down.  The bank notified him they were calling in the loan.  He had to pay in full at the end of four months, not the twelve months on the contract.  The case went to court.   The judgment was going in favor of the bank.  His home was about to be foreclosed.  There was one last hearing where the final judgment would be handed down.  At that point in the proceedings nothing  is ever reversed.  If the judgment is going against you, it remains against you.  They would be loosing their house.  There was no possible hope.  But God.  The pastor encouraged everyone at church to keep this family in their prayers.  They had special times of prayer for them.  Pray.  Pray. Pray.  There was no other hope.  Last Thursday the dad appeared in court.  And the God of the Impossible did the impossible.  The judgment was reversed.  He was given the rest of the year to pay back his loan.  His house is safe.  The bank cannot take it away from him.  Everybody was shocked.  This has never happened before.  So they had a special time of celebration and Theirry needed to be there with his family.  He caught the first bus out of town on Sunday morning and came back home on the last bus of the night.  Tired, but so very happy.  What an amazing God we serve!
