Last night (November 12), the hospital suffered a terrible blow when its pharmacist, a man loved and respected throughout the community, was shot and killed outside his home in Nalerigu. He died soon after arriving at the hospital. Violent crime of this sort is practically unheard of in Nalerigu, so the entire community is in shock. The hospital staff is especially distraught. Please keep the village in your prayers during this time of mourning.
Please know that we continue to pray for y’all; personally as well as our church family. We love y’all!!!!
We are covering you with prayers of protection and for the people to not fear and come back to the hospital. You are dearly loved.
Many prayers for you and Matt and all the people that work in the hospital. We pray for a sense of peace and that can come only from the Lord. God bless all!!
Thank you all for your prayers. All of the missionaries at the hospital went to visit the family home this afternoon to offer our condolences. People still feel unsettled, but the village as a whole is quite calm.
