'Twas the Night Before Surgery . . .

We have arrived to a crucial moment on the Africa Mercy. It is the night before the surgery that will change our friend’s life permanently. There’s no going back. He is as fit as he can be for such a huge operation. His surgical team gathered this afternoon to go over the logistics and details of the case, carefully mapping out all the steps that will take place. It’s going to be a very long case. Please pray for all involved. Pray for the team to be alert, rested, energetic, focused, and totally relying on God for every move they make. Pray for Dr Gary and Dr John to be filled with the wisdom that comes from above to make every incision precisely and carefully. Pray for the anesthesia team to be vigilant to every nuance in vital signs, prepared to respond quickly and appropriately. Pray for the lab personal to be standing by with all the life saving blood at the ready as soon as it is needed. Pray for our friend to be at peace, trusting God to be with him all the way through. Pray for him to come out of surgery alive and well that he may give glory to God. Pray for him to have no doubt that he has a Savior in Jesus Christ. Finally, no matter the outcome, let’s all remember to praise and thank God for all He has done, all He is doing, and all He’s yet to do because He is GOOD!
