Wellness Update

Praise God, people are on the mend. Thank you for your prayers. We are all starting to feel better. Stephanie was able to return to work today after her bout with malaria. Most of our staff have been able to return to work also. Your continued prayers for those still feeling under the weather would be appreciated. I am feeling better than I was on Sunday, but am still not feeling great. I don't handle pain/feeling sick well and think I have been a little cranky lately. Please pray I would be gracious to everyone I am talking to and have lots of patience.

Sabet left yesterday to spend two weeks with Suzy and the kids in Kenya. Although Suzy has been in Kenya for almost two weeks, she hasn't gotten much R&R since she still has so much work to do. Please pray for her and Sabet, that they will be able to enjoy complete rest as a family. Since they are both gone, I am overseeing things here. Pray that I will have the wisdom to handle whatever comes up so I won't have to bother them. I will admit I am anxious and already stressed out and Sabet hasn't been gone for 24 hours! As soon as we returned from dropping him off at the airstrip, problems were needing my attention. The problems continued this morning and I am feeling overwhelmed. I just want Sabet and Suzy to get rest and want to be able to handle things here for them.

Thanks for listening to me whine!

  1. I will be praying for you Stacie. I know the enemy (and he uses people) will take every opportunity to challenge you these next two weeks. Father, keep all of us under your wings, please keep the enemy from being able to get a foothold in any of our lives. Make us strong in You so we can do the work you have called us to. Give Stacie your wisdom to make the right decisions, and then Your peace so she won't question the decisions she has made. Please keep the compound, the clinic and all the workers safe. Pour out your Spirit on Tonj and make us great ambassadors for the Kingdom to the people we come in contact with. Give Stacie patience and compassion. Thank you that you equip those you call.....in Jesus' name, Amen!

  2. So glad everyone is feeling better.

    Stacie, you are so strong and are very capable of 'running the place'. Trust in the gifts God has given you. Have mercy on people and give them grace but don't be afraid to be the leader!

    I love you and will continue to pray.
