Update on Donato

The family has agreed and today we are flying him to Nairobi.  His family wanted to send one person to travel with him but the high cost of getting in and out of Sudan has made this not possible.   So Sabet and I will be solely responsible for him in Nairobi, accommodation and care as he goes back and forth to hospital and all his medical needs.  We continue to need your prayers in the following areas:

 

  1. That we can secure him a connection flight from Loki (N. Kenya) to Nairobi as our charter flight only takes us half way.
  2. That in light of the circumstances, immigration in Kenya would allow us entry as Donato has no passport.
  3. For guidance to the right hospital and doctors to give proper investigation into the depth of the skull fracture.
  4. For Donato, who has never left the ‘bush’ and will now face many challenges as he endures the busy city of Nairobi.
  5. Pray the injuries to his head would not have any long term effects or damage.
  6. Pray for our safety, Nairobi can be a dangerous place and I don’t think Donato could take further incidents of harm to him.
  7. Pray for our time over Christmas as we care for him.
  8. We have no idea of the cost (though medical costs are substantially cheaper than USA) but would appreciate any financial assistance to get this boy the medical help and care he needs.
  9. We’re hoping he can be ready to travel back to Tonj on January 6th with our doctor, John Paul.
