May Trip Canceled When Jai Got Sick in the Jungle

Dear Friends,

I have some very sad news. When our team got to the village for the May ministry, Jai soon got very sick with a high fever. On Saturday, Tony and Alex took him to the hospital in the jungle that was several hours away and he was diagnosed with malaria and dengue fever. He was very sick and couldn't eat or drink anything. After getting some bags of saline, he got a little better. Tracy was able to get them flights out for Sunday morning so a pastor who lives near the hospital stayed with Jai while Tony and Alex drove the hours back, loaded up the gear and drove the hours back. They arrived back at the hospital about 10:00pm and stayed with Jai until the 7:00am flight. The rain was too heavy to fly so they had to wait until noon to leave. Jai got home to Berbice and to Tracy at about 3:00 this afternoon (Sunday) and is resting with the help of strong medication. He will go to the hospital in Berbice in the morning for them to set up his treatment plan. He will be able to be at home. Please pray for complete healing and comfort. 

We know this didn't come as a surprise to God and that even though we don't understand why certain things happen, we can trust HIM ALL THE TIME and HE CAN USE ANYTHING THAT ENTERS OUR LIVES. There is still a lot of work to do in Guyana and I know Jai will want to get back to it. Please pray he doesn't try to rush it and will give himself time to get well and strong.Thank you all for your concern for Guyana and for our team.

Love, Beth
