Please Pray for Hannah

 

Please pray for our precious Hannah. Yesterday she was perfectly well but this morning she came with complaints of a headache and slight fever of 100 F (37.6 C). I tucked her in our bed and went to devotions but when I returned after thirty minutes her fever had spiked to 102.6 F (39.2 C). So we gave her fever reducer, a cold washcloth and fan. The obvious next step for us here in Sudan is always to test for malaria. So we performed two lab tests, a rapid paracheck and a blood slide. Both came back negative but three hours later her fever went even higher to 103.3 F (39.6 C). With all these precautions we should have seen some small improvements. Her head is pounding and she is weak. Dr. Tom pressed on her liver and spleen, both of which were tender and a sign of possible malaria. So we are going to treat her for malaria even though the tests came back negative, which can happen when the malaria is in the very early stages.

We are asking for intercessory prayer for our daughter. Something has invaded her body and compromised her health and we are asking our Lord if He would remove all traces of this sickness. Pray for her healing, for peace in our hearts and for the Lord to be glorified through this trial. We thank our Jesus for each one of you as you pray for us and pass this onto your prayer chains.

“Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.” Isaiah 58:8

Happy Easter!

We are thankful for the few opportunities we get to take a break and refresh and reflect on what the Lord is doing. This Easter we visited Rumbek, 100 miles away and spent the weekend relaxing and fellow-shipping with friends. It was a wonderful celebration of our Lord’s resurrection. Our children got to take part in an egg hunt, which is not easy to find in the bush of Sudan!! I think you’ll agree, Jed looks very happy with his basket full of blessings! The best part was getting to cool down in air-conditioned rooms and jumping in the swimming pool. The rains are late this year and the heat is simply unbearable. But we are now heading into the rainy season and the storms are rolling in!!

Meet Sara and Billy

The Lord has made so many things for our enjoyment and pleasure. In Sudan it is sometimes hard to find the beauty, especially in the dry and dusty season. But this weekend, while we were in Rumbek, we were reminded of the Lord’s amazing creation. This is my new friend I made in Rumbek. She’s a 3 month old chimpanzee called Sara that was rescued and being returned to a sanctuary in Uganda. She was so cute in her nappy and when we got ready to leave she ran after me and clung to my leg….so cute!!  And Billy is a mischievous deer that sneaks up behind you and try to butt you in the bottom when you’re not looking!  Cheeky fella!!

Joseph and Mary

Last week, I (Suzy) was called to the clinic to pray for Mary after she swallowed a bottle of hair dye in an attempt to end her life. Mary’s husband Joseph was with her and seemed very concerned. Mary was quiet and didn’t want to talk so I asked Joseph if I could talk to her alone. As soon as he left she started to share her heart. It is a common problem for young girls and was of no great surprise to me. Mary is her husband’s second wife and is treated terribly by the first wife. Mary has never complained to Joseph fearful he would beat his other wife and she would become even worse.  Mary said she couldn’t bear it any longer and wanted all the trouble to end.  I told her about my friend called Jesus, and how much he cares and loves me but more importantly He is my Savior.  After much discussion, weeping and prayer, Mary asked Jesus to be her Savior too.  I invited Mary and her husband to come to our church to worship with us and to meet Sabet.  On Sunday they came together and Sabet got to share with Joseph.  He asked him to come back on Tuesday for more counseling.  Today Sabet met with him and they prayed together.  Please contnue to pray for this precious couple.

Moving the Church!

“They Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalm 119:105

Today at church it was wonderful to see so many new people. In fact there wasn’t an empty seat in the church and many were sitting outside the small thatched structure we use to gather every week. Please pray as we seek the Lord’s will in moving our church out of the compound and into the community. Now is the time!
