This is Windy.
He was badly burnt, resulting in the contractures you see here.
Windy had surgery done by Dr. Tertius Venter on the Africa Mercy, and his life has been changed.
He and his buddy, Fandresena, are so full of joy. They were my favorite kids to play with at the Hope Center for awhile. And Windy is exceptional at English, learning so much from the nurses that cared for him while he was here.
This is Erissa.
So excited to receive a get well card from some Mercy Ship supporters in Holland. What a cutie…
This is my friend, Mark, with one of my previous patients and his wife.
Fernan didn’t have a nose before he came to us. He was brutally attacked last summer, leaving his face badly scarred and without a nose. Look at him now!! What a beautiful nose he has…
Please continue to pray for the surgeries here on board the AFM. Pray for our maxillary facial program and vesico-vaginal fistula surgeries that have now began. Pray for the health of our crew as many continue to be sick with gastrointestinal and/or respiratory illnesses (myself with a nasty chest cold currently). Pray that us nurses would continue to have the drive to do our jobs well and constantly show the love of Jesus to our patients as the mundane sets in and we increasingly miss home.
“I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:3-6
