Hey everyone,

Today marks 3 weeks since Petut has returned home to Dem-land knowing that he has a sickness that there is no medicine that will heal him. Since then, the Dem church have blanketed him and his wife with prayers and continue to pray for a miracle but also for peace and comfort.

Petut continues to tell others that he is not sad and not afraid as he knows when he passes from this life he will be in the presence of his “Egingo owe ta enakme.” (His Redeemer) This past week he has been in pain and the fluids in his abdomen continue to build which causes more discomfort but considering the situation he remains in pretty good spirits.

We continue to share with him that people from all over the world are praying for him and that many people are sad but also rejoicing that he knows “Yagwe.” (Dem for YHWH)

We will keep giving quick updates every couple weeks as we know many of you have shared that you are praying for him and the Dem church. Thank you!

*Oppurtunity to help-

The last several months we have had several medical emergencies and although we were able to recieve a little help from a local medical group for flight costs, these medical situations are paid for by our team and with so many medi-vacs, hospital bills, medicines purchased for the patients, etc… our team account is back in the red.

If anyone would like to help with these costs specifically or like more details about this please email us. Please do not send funds directly to us, but rather they need to go to our team account which I can give you the information for that if interested. Some of you are already contributing monthly to our team account and we thank you for that.

As a reminder… the team account funds go directly towards medical costs, literacy supplies, Dem church materials, airstrip maintenance, and anything else that comes up directly helping the Dem. Thank you in advance!
