Hey everyone,

We want to thank everyone for their prayers. So many of you have been praying for the Dem guy who received the news of late stage liver cancer just over a week ago and we want to give a quick update.

The hospital in town couldn’t offer anymore help and advised Petut to come back to Dem and spend his remaining time with family. Before leaving the hospital they were able to extract almost 20 liters of fluid from his abdomen which was a praise and definitely helped alleviate some discomfort he was having.

Petut flew back into Dem land on Friday and the Dem church has been amazing with trying to encourage and pray for Petut. This past Sunday after church one of the other men who have gone through the training alongside with Petut stood up and encouraged the church by wanting to have a tribal wide prayer gathering for Petut at his hut on sunday afternoon. He stood up and said, “Those of us who are Gods children need to gather and go to his house together, and pray for a miracle. The creator is good and knows if our brother Petut is going to live or die but we need to trust the Creator and prayer is so important and lets all go and pray for him together.”

Since Petut has been back, almost everyday countless Dem believers go and visit and pray for him and that he would be comforted by the Holy Spirit and if it is God’s will for Petut to be healed then He can easily do that, but if not, God is still good and His character is good.

It has been so encouraging to see the Dem church be so faithful in praying. On Sunday while Bri and I were sitting with Petut I asked how he has been sleeping and he said, “My pain isn’t bad. It hurts a little so I have to move around but I can’t sleep well because there is so many people in the hut throughout the night talking and praying that I cant fall in a deep sleep.”

The Dem are keeping him up cause they are praying too much!! lol

We praise the Lord that Petut pain isn’t too bad right now. Please continue to pray for his pain and strength through this process. We don’t know how much longer he has but the Lord does and we are trusting in Him.
