Update on Yesterday's Prayer Request

Jack is now at home, still waiting for the kidney stone to complete its journey, but feeling fine. Thanks for your prayers.

In response to the update I sent yesterday, a retired missionary from West Africa wrote and shared one of those “GREAT MISSIONARY STORIES” that missionaries know comes with a little extra meaning! Her husband had a kidney stone attack in Nigeria. She wrote: “I took him to Ogbomosho to the hospital 80 miles away, and by the time we bounced over those rough roads, the stone decided to pass - so it did.”

Years ago, I traveled from our home in Nakuru to Nairobi for surgery for a cyst, but after I arrived the cyst no longer showed up in the new scan. Some would say of this and the man’s healing, “Prayers were answered and a miracle occurred!” Yes, it was a miracle, but not the kind likely prayed for! Trust me – no special medical equipment can zap/rearrange things as well as our bumpy, potholed, nonexistent-in-places roads!

Jack doesn’t want to try this option of healing, so he is staying away from any country roads or even our Nairobi pot-holed ones until he can see a specialist tomorrow – so keep praying! He really needs to travel immediately to check on areas that need relief food! Bert
