We Need Your Prayers!!!


For those of you who have not been following the MIC site closely, you may be unaware that our Ugandan counterpart, Hellen, has been ill. She was diagnosed with malaria about a month ago. She received the malaria treatment, but her body did not respond to the medicine. She was given a second dose, and then a third, in hopes of wiping out the malaria. She has been extremely weak.

The doctor decided that she would need to be on bed rest, but she need to go in today to see him to make sure she wasn't anemic. She sent me an e-mail updating her status this morning.

At 1:00 PM Kampala, Uganda time, she had collapsed in town! She was rushed to the hospital unconscious! She is now under a doctor's supervision and remains hospitalized.

Please pray that the doctor's will know what to do to help her, and that Hellen will regain consciousness. I will keep you updated as more news comes in.

Thank you in advance for your prayers and support of Hellen!

Thank you so much for letting us know about Hellen's serious illness. Her health has probably been weakened by all her hard work and responsibilities in running the CUS school almost single-handed. Like many others I do hope that she will soon recover - so many young lives are dependent on her dedication and compassion.
