Marjua began doing worse again Sunday – vomiting again, weaker. We transferred her to one of the hospitals today. One of our home based care staff and one of the pastors will visit with her daily. Thank you for your prayers and support throughout the past week. This experience has opened my eyes and my heart more to how great the need here is for medical care. I knew it already mentally, but getting to know someone personally & being involved in the process of trying to help has changed my perspective. When I was walking though the clinic waiting area after returning from lunch today, there were 2 individuals laying on benches and one laying on the floor waiting to see a doctor. It is a common sight, but affects me much more today than 2 weeks ago, modifying how I prioritize my time & driving me more to prayer. It’s going to be awhile before the new FA hospital building is furnished and the staff is ready to open the emergency treatment area or the small in-patient ward. There are no funds available yet for the completion and furnishing of the building, but God didn’t begin this project to leave it partly finished. So, please continue to pray with us for God’s provision and guidance for the completion of the new hospital, and that God would multiply & bless the small acts of love that we are able to provide today.
