Angola, Africa

Today I'm in Lubango, Angola. If you look at a map of Africa, Angola is a nation in the southwest corner. During these weeks I'm covering for SteveFoster, the Canadian doctor who runs the Evangelical Medical Center ofLubango - a brand new 40-bed hospital built with generous support fromSamaritan's Purse. Have a look athttp://www.ceml.net/ceml/myweb.php?hls=10000Today is my third day on the job - and what an undertaking! Scores of peoplesuffering from all forms of tuberculosis, malaria, typhoid fever, fractures.I just examined a lady with TB of the spine... That's right, tuberculosis ofher spine, causing the vertebra to collapse and making her back bent forwardat a 90 degree angle. I started her on TB medications, but can do nothing tofix the curvature of her back. Another lady has malaria of the brain and isconvulsing. I'm treating the infection and giving medication for control ofher seizures. But humanly speaking, her chance of survival is low. All thisalong with the 'normal' run of motorcycle injuries and asthma attacks andheart failure.Dr. Foster will be leaving tomorrow for his first vacation in two years, andI'll be the only full-time doc here. Honestly, I'm pretty apprehensive. Allcommunication is done in Portuguese, and the diseases and treatment areradically different from the US. I'm dwelling on Philippians 4:4-8. Pleasepray that I can keep this attitude and that I'll be filled with all theenergy and insight I'll need! Nicholas

A prayer for each of us....

That each of us get a glimpse of the importance God has invested in us individually (and collectively). Light would shine on any "darkness of complacent satisfaction". May we have grace, mercy and peace from God and be reminded that the object and purpose of our instruction and charge is LOVE.
We have obtained mercy that Jesus might show His perfect long suffering and patience--that others might be encouraged to believe on Him for eternal life.
Is anything too hard for the Lord?
I hope today's Bible chapters (and the rest of the day's events) inspire and encourage you to put your faith and hope in Him.
Wage the good warfare.
Please pray for me.

and prayers for Stacy and Glenn....
