Stephanie Wesco was literally quoting scriptures about the protection of God at the moment her husband was killed.

How does she deal with that?

It wasn't the kind of way that I would have chosen for God to set my husband on high, but that's where I have to trust.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgavut, co-author of You Can Trust God

to Write Your Story. For July 2nd, 2020, I'm Dana Gresh.

I think if I were to choose words to describe the story we've been listening to this week on Revive Our Hearts,

I'd use adjectives like heart-wrenching, sad, painful, even shocking. But I'd also want to make sure I included terms like calm confidence,

trust in God, at peace. Stephanie Wesco is our guest. She and her husband Charles, along with

their eight children, had just arrived in Cameroon as new missionaries in October 2018.

Their love for the people and their excitement to get settled in were undaunted by the fighting in nearby regions.

And really, their main motive was their love for the Lord.

They were looking forward to buckling down and starting to spread the

gospel. But as Stephanie shared this week, those plans suddenly and tragically were put on hold

on their 12th day of being in Cameroon. Charles was killed instantly when two shots were fired

into their vehicle. Stephanie, their 11-year-old son Charles Jr.,

and another missionary named Ben Sinclair, were with him but unhurt. If you missed any of the

Here's Stephanie Wesco, continuing in our series, Gunshots in Cameroon,

trusting God when the unthinkable happens.

You know, like somehow, he's just like, I am so, so sorry, and I'm like, this is not your fault.
