This just came in from Judy, the director of our Christian Resource Center:

Dear Friends,
 
Many of you will recognize Magguie’s name; she is my good friend, with whom I have worked at the CRC for a number of years. She is the head of our translation team, and does great work.  Maggie is the center individual in the picture.
 
A few years ago, Maggie discovered that she is diabetic. Together we work to manage this disease, which is not easy in a third world country. Thankfully, Magguie’s diabetes is pretty well controllable with oral meds. She is quite thin and from time to time becomes ill with malaria or some other sickness. She has been doing quite well in recent weeks, but on Saturday, after working in her field, her knee became very swollen and painful. Sharon and I went to see her on Sunday, and the swelling had diminished, but the pain was severe. Today, Monday, she is an inpatient at our hospital, with strong IV antibiotics and pain meds. The medical staff is not sure what is causing this problem.
 
Please be in prayer for Magguie. It’s a scary thing when a diabetic person gets sick, but it’s even more scary when there is a problem with the lower extremities. I don’t know all of the technical implications, but I do know that this thing is not good, so I am asking you to pray with me that the Lord will intervene---that He will use the meds to take care of this infection.
 
Thank you for caring and for praying!
 
With appreciation to you and for you,
