Prayers being answered

Tom got out of the hospital a couple of days ago, and from everything I have heard is progressing amazingly quickly in his recovery. Pray that it would continue as smoothly as it seems to have so far. In addition to Tom's recovery, praise God that Evans is steadily healing. I got to chat with him briefly and trade emails yesterday and he is doing significantly better, getting the treatment and medications he needs, and noticing improvement every day. For a while after the accident he couldn't talk due to his injuries, but he's now able to. Evans, like the others with whom we've had contact, is incredibly grateful for all the prayers and asked more than once for them to keep coming as they are still deeply needed.

As I write this, the members of Victory Christian Centre in Korogocho are waking up on Sunday morning and getting ready to head to church. I don't presume to know what goes through the heads and hearts of anyone living in a context so different than my own, but with so many of their leadership directly affected by what happened things at the church must look a lot different this week and will for a while. Pray that God would continue to fill the church with His presence this and coming Sundays, that His true Word would be preached, and that in His power the kingdom would grow even further in Korogocho. We know that's the heart of Tom, Anna and the rest of the leadership there, and thank God for their partnership and participation in the Gospel and the spread of God's love.
