When we picked him up 8-year-old Donovan, he was suffering from cerebral malaria and in and out of consciousness while experiencing seizures. While in the hospital, we spent a lot of time by Donovan's side, along with his family. When he regained consciousness and began to recover, we were able to share the gospel with him. Before he and his mom headed home, they stopped by our gate to visit us, making our hearts feel overjoyed for his recovery.

This is Quintina and she was experiencing symptoms of pre-eclampsia while also suffering from malaria and high blood pressure. She had a difficult labor that lasted an entire 3 days. Unfortunately her baby passed away a few days after she gave birth. Quintina had to stay one more week at the hospital before she was released to go home. While we are heart broken with Quintina for the loss of her baby, we are grateful that she lived through this tragic event in her life. Please keep this mother and other patients that experience devastating outcomes in labor, in your heart and prayers.

Ruth was cutting a Sago tree when it fell on her leg. She broke her right femur and spent about 6 weeks in the hospital waiting for her bone to heal. In cases like Ruth's, we use this time to take part in God's love through action, with the ability to pray and share the gospel with her nearly every day.

Surrounded by members of his village, 16-year old Salmon received antivenom after a snake bite the night before. We are grateful for Dr. Peters from Boram Hospital, who flew out with us to administer the antivenom. When we transported Salmon and arrived at Boram Hospital, he was monitored for adverse reactions to the antivenom. With the Grace of God, he was discharged the next day. We feel blessed and honored for the opportunity to serve the children of Papua New Guinea, and we pray to continue making life changing impacts in their lives.
