Prayer Requests
We continue to seek God as a team for His wisdom and knowledge.
We also ask for prayer that the needs of both patients and their families (money for medicine,transport and food for example) would be met whilst they are in hospital and when they are discharged.
We would also value continued prayers for our staff fellowship group as number still remain low.
We continue to thank God for the good working relationship we have with the Hospital management.
