It was an exciting day at our house yesterday! Our first box of art supplies for summer arrived, our malaria prescriptions were filled and Micah received a blue ribbon at the Science Fair in Mankato . . .

Here she is with a smile!

Meanwhile, across the ocean this past Thursday, a young boy was brought to the ship seeking help. Eight-year-old Ibrahim Kamara was burnt in a farm fire last Sunday. He was at the gate, on a cardboard stretcher, wrapped up in dry sheets with his mother fanning him. He was unconscious and covered in dry blackened cooked flesh from his face to his knees . . . One of the ship nurses took a look at him, but he was beyond even the help of Mercy Ships. Our friend, Olly, got one of the ship drivers to take him to the childrens hospital around the corner, where he will most likely die. It will be a miracle if he survives; if he does he will be badly scarred and need numerous skin grafts and operations to free contractures. If he pulls through, in a few months time, Mercy Ships may be able to help him. Do pray for Ibrahim and those working on the good ship Mercy. |
