urgent prayer need at Galmi

hello, praying friends, please don't stop praying for Galmi!
i just received word that the national staff at the hospital are threatening to go on strike. i don't know over what issue; historically it has been because of money.
pray for:

• communication
• the Spirit of God to change hearts and minds
  
• maturing of Christians in the church/hospital staff
• wisdom for the SIM/hospital leadership
• for God's name and renown to be the desire of everyone's heart

thank you for your prayers -
i'll post an update when i have more information.

"the children in Africa..."

someone put a large bill in my hospital mailbox, with the following sentence written on the back of a used, folded piece of paper:

Kate: please use this for the children in Africa

whoever you are, Thank You. I decided to give that gift to the C.R.E.N. This is the place that the malnourished children go with their mothers to be fed and to help the mothers learn about malnutrition. they thank you as well... and everyone who gave, and prayed, and cared, and cried.













































please keep praying (and caring... and crying... and consider going...) :

• for nurses to aid the hospital work at Galmi
• for community health work to be renewed in the community
• for education of women
• for the Good News of Jesus to reach the land with its transforming power and love!
