Victim of polio


Abner, 14 yrs old, was struck with polio at age seven, and has crawled on the ground ever since. Last year, a team from the States visited the school Abner attends (Evangelical Missionary Kids School, where I help with the health care). God gave them compassion on Abner and as a result, they have sent in money to sponsor a corrective surgery for him! The hope is that he will soon be able to walk with the aid of braces! He had the surgery on July 28th. Please pray for healing, the therapy, and the many long hours he spends alone in the hospital (he is 4 hrs from where I live, and even further from his parents). I will keep you posted.
