This just in:

Dear Friends,
 
I am so touched by your care for my friend Magguie! Many of you have written to say that you are praying for her, and I am so thankful to tell you that the Lord has answered your prayers in such a positive way! Magguie has been discharged from the hospital, and will come in daily for several more days to finish her IV antibiotics. She is also taking an oral antibiotic, as our docs here do not want to take any chances with a recurrence of this infection in her knee. A number of you readers are involved in medicine to some capacity, or you have some experience with the effects of diabetes and know that leg problems can be disastrous for these patients.
 
For those of you who keep regular prayer lists and would like to pray for Magguie, please add her name to your list. Pray that the Lord will give her wisdom as she raises her two daughters, Cynthia (13) and Rhoda (8). Her husband lives in the capital city of Lome and only visits rarely. Magguie says he recently became a believer, so I am hoping that this is a reality and that fruit will be evident in his life by his love and care for his wife and girls. He has a second wife in Lome. Life can be complicated here! Anyway, please pray that Magguie’s health would be stable, so that she can take care of the girls and do her translation work with us at the CRC.
 
Thank you again for caring and for praying. I find it to be a tremendous comfort that we can pray for each other, no matter where in the world we are, or how far apart.
 
With thanksgiving to you and for you,
 
Judy
