I know I owe a new update on what has been transpiring in the land of spirit babies...
God is working great and mightily! We know and believe He has called us all into this work He is doing - each and every one of us. There is no coincidence you know us and know about these babies. God doesn't waste anything, including your time. I will send an update...soon, I promise! But, in the meantime, will you join us in prayer? Please!
GN has been admitted to a clinic near his village. He is currently being treated for malaria and an undetermined infection.
What is malaria?
Malaria is a common but deadly infection in hot, tropical areas of the world. Malaria is caused by a parasite known as PLASMODIUM, injected into the blood by the bite of a female mosquito.
Some facts?
-
approximately
300-500 MILLION people are affected worldwide
each year.
-
approximately
2 MILLION of these die each year. (90% are in Africa
= 1.8 MILLION people)
-
approximately
85% of these are children under the age of 5.
(1.5 MILLION children)
-
This means, in Africa, as each minute passes…3
children die of malaria.
-
Malaria is both treatable &
preventable. If properly treated, a
patient can expect complete recovery.
