Prayer for Africa

The Africa missions team arrived in Nelerigu, Ghana on Wedensday night. We've been at work since 7 this morning (that's 3 a.m. Georgia time!). First miracle...an 8 year old boy with sickle cell anemia needed a blood transfusion desperately. He shares the same blood type as Nan Jackson and she donated first thing this morning. Please pray for him as he is still very ill. (Nan is fine. We even found a clean needle for her. Ha!)

There were three surgeries Wed. night and four more this morning. Kathy Brawner went out with drs. and did public health this morning. Sherri Brown took pictures all over the hospital -- including during surgery. Julie Spears is working with Dr. Teresa Clark from Atlanta and Nancy Crockett is also shadowing doctors at the Baptist Hospital. Gene Covington is back "home" working in the pharmacy.

Please keep us all in your prayers.

Sherri was in surgery when an amputation was taking place. The generator went out and it was dark, but they continued the amputation using flashlights.
