God Answers Our Prayers

We have the most amazing prayer chain, thank you for your prayers for Donato.  Here’s how the Lord has been answering them so far….Tuesday we got in the car to drive to the airstip still not knowing if Donato had a seat on the second flight.  As we started driving I got a text message that he was confirmed!!  50 of us held hands and circled him at the airstrip and prayed for continued favor with Kenyan immigration.  It brought tears to my eyes to look at him in this circle of protection, when a week before he was lying in a ditch and left for dead without a single person to help him..  Immigration in Lokichoggio were very kind and understanding, giving us a 3 month entry pass.  Donato traveled well but seemed disoriented at times.  He had no luggage and wore only ripped clothing and flip-flops to travel out of Sudan.  When we got to Nairobi it was cold compared to Sudan and I felt so bad for him but I also was not wearing a sweater so I covered him with my kanga.  Yesterday I talked to Dr. Bransford, an American missionary doctor at Bethany Kids in Kijabe, and he authorized our cat scan at MP Shah Hospital for today.  This alone has saved us money at it will cost only $70 as a Bethany Kids patient.  Dr. Bransford is an amazing doctor who helped us 8 years ago when we brought out a young man that had been attacked by a hyena.  Donato is very quiet and I’m sure the big city is overwhelming.  Yesterday we gave him some new clothes and it’s the first time we’ve seen him smile since the attack.  Please continue to pray for all the examinations, that any underlying problems would be revealed.  We’ll keep you posted.
