“One wild black dog” – a missionary moment

Bayon Famonure shared about God’s provision for the fledgling CAPRO team living in a hostile Muslim area:

“The people planned something we did not know.  One day, one wild black dog strayed into our house and stayed.  We did not know its origin.  We gave him the name, Ginger.  The dog stayed long with us.  It made the people fear to come near the house; it would chase them off.  It was as if the dog could read peoples’ minds.  The dog didn’t bite anyone but it protected us.  If we were going to the office, even at 2 am in the morning, the dog would escort us and come back.  One day, the dog disappeared, and then a cat replaced it.  It was as wild as the dog.  It did not touch any of us but would follow us to the office.  Then we never thought it could be an angel.  How could God make cats become like angels?  If the people had killed us, they would have killed the vision.  Reflecting on this later, it was evident the dog and the cat were not ordinary.  After some time, the cat disappeared.  This was shortly before we left Zaria.”
