Grandmother was operated successfully yesterday. She is currently recuperating from the pain of the operation. She will probably take some time though to recover pyschologically from the loss of another limb. Pray that our Lord of mercy will keep, support, minimise her pain and grace grandmother with the knowledge of His love at this trying moments. I shall be joining Jing to support her effort in China next week. DO pray for us and may our Lord keep you and cheer you each day in His care.

Surgery and Prayer

Grandmother is going for her amputation surgery tomorrow.

Doctors think her condition is stable enough now for the major surgery.

Pray that God's gifts to the healers would be sharpened at their best tomorrow and that our Lord will surround her with His protection. Lord we pray that You will soften the outcome of the operation both to our grandmother and the family members within the limit of our faith.

Regardless of what is to be, we want to thank Him for bringing her thus far; and the opportunity to knit the family members closer together in this time of anxiety binding them together with the spirit of hope. Pray that God's grace would relate that spirit of hope to our father in heaven and that they too could join hand to experience the living hope..... Amen

Call for prayer

Jing is in better spirit today. Grandmother is finally in the hospital for a thorough assessment of her suitability for a second amputation to save her life. The compromised limb is now the greatest liability as it not only caused her tremendous pain but the dead tissue is starting to put out toxins which are poisoning the other organs in the body. So far, the heart and the kidney are beginning to show signs of early toxicity. The race is now on to get these latter organs in order for her to withsatnd a major amputation surgery to preserve her life.

Jing says that grandmother is initiating some response to God's word. And we really thank God for His grace and mercy but more can be done still.

Jing wanted to stay back to keep her company for the night but the security in the hospital rendered such an option extremely risky. Imagine this aspect is usually taken for granted by us. So her father instead would be attending to grandmother through the night.

Please continue to remember her and the family in your prayer....
