What do you do when: One of your school boys comes to you early in the morning with his jaws swollen so badly that he seems to have no neck at all-and the nurse is off helping people in the bush fifty miles away? Or when a mother brings her crying baby on a Sunday afternoon with a very serious deformity-and the nurse is still away? Or when the Education Officer is scheduled to come and the school needs a serious renovation and there is no money? Or when the miners have brought in a man with a compound fractured leg, and you have no car to take him 25 miles to the nearest hospital? Or when you see the clouds are darkening, and a storm is threatening, then opens up with tornado-force winds and rain, blowing down your newest school building? Or when the elderly man, who buys food for the school, leaves to go seventy-five miles into the nearest city to get sacks of food that you are needing for the school children, and he has not returned in a week's time? Is he still in the city searching for the food, or has an accident befallen him, and where do you begin to look for him? Or when one of your school girls is desperately ill, and it's five o'clock in the morning and too early to rouse the African nurse? Or when the little water engine just won't go and you have no way to pump water up the hill and a crowd of people are coming the next day for a Board Meeting? How God solved our problems time after time, in instances like these, is the essence of this book. Read Less
