Sunday in Nairobi – Update on boy with injured hand
We are on our way to church and I hope and pray to be on this blog soon to complete the camps’ journey.
But a quick update includes this: the boy with the threatened hand did come back to camp the next afternoon. It is amazing the difference a day makes. The excellent though painful scrub that Pete and Meagan did along with a day of antibiotics had given the child’s hand at least hope. Reduced in size by about a 1/4, thank God, the family agreed to get the child to a hospital the next day and we (Christ Church) paid the cost of transporation and hospital care, Doctor’s fees, procedure fees. About 1000 shillings ($15US).
We received a call from Pastor Robert last night saying they had been to the hospital, the stick was removed from his wrist and the child is doing well, post procedure. Christ Church and families of missioners you have so many reasons to be proud of the work that the people here are doing, all in Christ”s name.
Vans to church in 15 minutes.
Much love,
The CC Missioners
By the grace of God, we are back! Around 7:15 on Monday evening we came into DCA after not having been to bed since Saturday night. Sunday was church, lunch at Bishop Henry’s, shopping for souvenirs, and dinner at the world famous Carnivore. Then to the airport: Nairobi, Dubai, JFK (NYC) and finally DCA.
Exhausted, stinky, unshaven we return. And, while it is too late to walk through one of those foamy, flap spinning car washes, we will gladly settle for our own hot showers and bed.
Thank you for all your prayers and support so greatly needed.
Look for blog fill ins in the days to come. Blessings, SPL
