 God is GoodAll the time!
The LORD is faithful in all His words and kind in all His works! Ps 145:13 Thanks for all your prayers for our daughter Hannah Grace Winter. While the doctor said that he could get a call that Hannah is in ICU on life-support, they are hopeful her body will begin responding to one of the new treatments to stop her body from attacking and eliminating red blood cells/hemoglobin. Nothing has worked so far. Her kidneys are now at 10% and she is starting dialysis regularly. The doctor strongly urged us to return there for support and encouragement in her recovery. Daniel David, her husband, is doing an unbelieveable job, but can't take off work much. His parent's are an amazing help with the children, but his mom has some health concerns as well. Once Hannah is home, the doctors are saying her energy level for the first months will be low, much needing our help in their home. After talking with the doctor today, knowing we needed to return, we noticed an e-mail from our home church saying they would fly Melissa and I back. Thank you Jesus!!! We also need to pay for Elijah and Esther's tickets. Airfare alone is $2676 per person along with other travel & lodging costs. With the blessing of 9 churches supporting us, we are asking and trusting the Lord through you to help cover these unexpected airfare expenses. Donations can be sent to the address below. We will have extra expenses living in the U.S., and helping Hannah, while maintaining a home back here in Mozambique. In addition, we have been shocked with the marked increase here in Nampula in costs for food (butter-$8/lb, oats-$4 for 4 cups, hamburger-$4.50/lb), electricity (tripled), gasoline ($6/gal)... While we're certain God will always care for us and feed us, would you also prayerfully consider increasing your monthly support? We're returning on the earliest flight we could get out of Nampula, leaving the 26th and arriving in Kansas City on the 28th. We booked the ticket for six months out but will be allowed to adjust that according to the need. God has really been blessing my vision and work here on the materials for the fledgling churches in the bush. The evangelists are excited about the gospel presentation/training being translated into Makua. Please pray with me, that I would continue to have some time to devote to writing more while in the U.S.. God is constantly testing us in trusting Him for His timing. We were overjoyed in having Elijah and Esther here with us, as they both came here to serve. Now it seems they may not return to Mozambique with us. What stories will they tell of God's faithfullness? God bless you all, Daniel and Melissa with Elijah and Esther |
