#104: Gary Witherall

Why does God allow me to suffer?
 
We know that God is all powerful and that he loves us. And yet we suffer.
 
Gary Witherall can talk about suffering. In 2000 he and his wife, Bonnie, moved to Lebanon, began serving the church there, and learned Arabic. Bonnie worked in a Christian prenatal clinic and fell in love with the women she served. Life became more difficult after September 11, 2001. While Gary and Bonnie wept at the loss of American life, their neighbors celebrated it with joy. A year later when Bonnie went to the clinic, a man shot and killed her. The terrorist was never captured.
