Pastor Leon’s SOAP:  Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
October 07, 2023: SOAP #5056: Ezra 9-10; Psalm 131; Luke 21

SCRIPTURE:  Luke (NIV) 21:34 “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. 35 For it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth. 36 Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”

OBSERVATION:  Trouble is coming, but in so many ways, trouble is already here.  Jesus warned us that perilous times would come to “all those who live on the face of the whole earth.”  That includes all SOAP readers.  Trouble is increasing in this world every day. 

APPLICATION:  Two things today need our urgent prayers.  First:  Israel was attached today.  This trouble can be seen as a part of the end-time prophecies when Jesus is to return to earth.  Second:  Pastor Andrew was attacked and robbed on his way to purchase air tickets for SOAP ministry in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.  He was found lying in a ditch by someone who called an ambulance.  He has a broken arm and is unconscious in a Freetown hospital.  Members of the SOAP team joined with his wife to pray. 

Pastor Andrew is a key part of the SOAP ministry in Africa.  The SOAP is God’s ministry.  God is directing it and He provides for it.  God called Pastor Andrew to spread the SOAPs across Africa. 

PRAYER:  Lord, there are so many needs to bring before your throne of Grace.  Work through the national leaders in Israel.  And work through the medical personnel serving Pastor Andrew.  Raise him up for your glory.  Amen

I pray that you are doing well and your family.

I am really sad to informed you that I received an urgent call this afternoon from Pastor Andrew’s wife Doris Bobor that her husband Pastor Andrew was attacked by some Armed robbers this 6:00 pm he was thurthured and was under gunpoint. According to her they made away with his belongings, including his Phones ,hug amount of money [money for his airplane ticket],his documents, his passport,  according to her someone meet him at the roadside bleeding on his head and the person  rushed  him to  the hospital on conscious 

They Doctors administered  first aid treatment immediately inother to revive him and after 30minites he regained consciousness that was when the Doctors were able to called and informed his wife and she rushed to the hospital to see his husband Pastor Andrew.

Pastor Leon it was the grace and  mercy of God that Pastor Andrew survived the attack else those arm rubbers wound have killed him.

Rubbers are attacking people on daily basis in our country.

 presently all the SOAP MINISTRY team in Freetown  are in the hospital with him, his wife and children and also Pastors here with him at the hospital 

But the Doctors have given him treatment and he is resting right now but He lost everything. 

He has serious wound on his head and also his left hand bone shifted as well. I have also informed all the SOAP ministry in Sierra Leone and also Bishop Emmanuel in Liberia about the present condition of Pastor Andrew.

Please please let us all join hands together to pray for him please.

God bless you Pastor Leon.
