Prayer Request


Don and Laura Oldenburg have been our co-workers here since February, 2007, and have become our dear friends. They have been tremendous assets to the Mission as Don worked with the Finance Office and Laura worked to get our hospital ready to open. They left in late February of this year to return to the states so that Don could have surgery. We were devastated to learn yesterday that Don has been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsils, and the cancer has already spread into his lymph nodes. Don will begin chemotherapy on Wednesday, March 12, in Abilene. Please pray for Don and Laura during this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear about this diagnosis. My thoughts and prayers are with both him and his family, but also the people who are his friends at Namwianga.
