Sudan, Africa, after being detained many days, awaiting the permission of her doctor to return to Africa, was given but four days notice that a freighter would be able to furnish her the desired transporta tion. Imagine the dozens of little de tails consequent to leaving on such short notice. The Lord gave the evi dence in many ways that this was His plan.
