It was a balmy evening. They had enjoyed a good meal at a restaurant, but it was too early to go back home.  The driver had lived in Cameroon for four years with his family.  He new a great place to go that overlooked the city.  His two passengers, airplane mechanics all, went along with the idea. They drove up a winding road that came out near the top of Mt. Febe.  It was pitch dark.  The city lights were spectacular.  They got out of the car and took pictures.  After awhile they decided it was time to come back to Shiloh.  One climbed into the back seat and dropped the passenger seat in place, effectively locking himself inside the car.  The driver got in and the front seat guy was just coming up to the car when it happened.  A young man came out of the bushes brandishing a machete and yelling at them to give him their money.  The driver slid across to the passenger side and got out of the car.  The back seat passenger remained trapped in the car throughout the incident.  The driver began throwing bills down the road and calling out to the bandit.  He would run after the money and the driver tried to get back into the car.  The front seat passenger got in the car.  Finally the bandit broke two windows and then leaned into the car on the driver's side.  He began hitting the passenger with the machete, cutting him only in one place.  When the back seat guy gave up his phone and money he told the bandit there was nothing else of value.  The bandit swept the car with his flashlight and then melted back into the bushes.  Our friends took off, praising God for his protection.  They went to a clinic where the injured was bandaged and given antibiotics to take.  They arrived back at Shiloh after midnight, shaken but grateful to be in as good a shape as they were.
