Please Pray for Filomena
Tuesday 16 February 2010 | 6:30 am | Laura -
I was able to go visit her again yesterday and she has taken a dramatic turn for the worse. In the time that has passed her tumor has grown larger and is even evident from inside her mouth. Her energy level has drastically dropped and her breathing is labored. The twinkle I could see in her eyes the first day I met her has gone.
I have been in contact with and have agreement from Karanda Mission Hospital in Zimbabwe to treat her if at all possible. Her father’s passport is supposed to be finished tomorrow.
The biggest prayer issue right now is for her life.
Other still unresolved issues are -
…the passport actually being finished with no complications
…Transportation – we are trying to coordinate one of our drivers to drive them all the way there as she is in no condition for hours of travel on a crowded bus. I am also looking in to the option of having her flown there by MAF (Missionary Aviation Fellowship)
…Translator for Pastor Salmo – English is the national language of Zimbabwe and he does not speak it.
…Finances for the travel, hospital procedure and stay, extended stay and supplies and for his family here in Mozambique while he is away.
