On April 15, 2008, Barry and Marybeth Mosier, Seventh-day Adventist missionaries to Tanzania for eight years, planned to visit their 24-year-old son, Keith in Congo. They boarded a plane bound for Kinsangani, Congo, accompanied by their 14-year-old daughter, April, and 3-year-old son, Andrew. The plane crashed during takeoff and the family were separated in the chaos.
"When we saw each other at the hospital, I can tell you it was a grand reunion," Barry said. "We couldn't believe that our family of four could all escape a plane that was crashed and on fire, but by God's mercy we did."
The family were cut and bruised and little Andrew had a broken leg, but they were all alive.
Barry added: "We actually came here with the idea of seeing if we could move to Congo, so it's been kind of a rough introduction. I think we'll keep praying about that. We know that the safest place in the world to work is where the Lord wants you to work."
