Our mission clinic may not be open yet, but that doesn’t mean God hasn’t been putting people in our proximity who need His tender loving care. When this sweet little bundle came to our attention she was deathly ill with malaria and pneumonia. Thanks, in part, to your sending partnership, we were able to get her life-saving treatment. This is the photo her mother sent to us of her “after” condition. The snow suit is because of the temperature dropping into the low 70s during this rainy season.
Thank you for praying for us and for those we serve. Our team is all going through some sort of difficulty. One of our nursing students contracted malaria the day after she received an ebola vaccine, timing that caused a scare for everyone. The husband of one of our nurses contracted brucellosis, a blood-borne bacterial infection usually caused by infected meat or dairy. Another is jobless because we cannot yet afford to employ her. Five of our team had one or more deaths in their families in the recent days or weeks. To make matters worse, this has been a particularly dry rainy season, so there is a threat of famine in the area, and many of the crops planted by our team members have already failed. It feels ironic given that Florida is swamped with hurricane floods. Our Ugandan corporate recognition has been delayed about five times so far. Keep praying please. God is good and every perfect gift comes from above, from the Father of Lights (James 1:17).
