Notes:
On 25/11/15 we had a prayer walk throughout the hospital. This was undertaken over lunch time by both staff and Hospital Ministry members to pray for God’s continued reign and rule at the Hospital.
The first photo above shows a lady with her baby. Her five month pregnancy was in danger of being terminated due to dangerously high blood pressure. However, she gave her life to Jesus Christ and refused this option – choosing instead to seek God’s intervention. As we stood with her in prayer her blood pressure began to come down. Her baby was born healthy, at full term and was a normal delivery. Both mother and baby remain well.
The second photo shows the baby boy a few months after being born with new clothes which we took when undertaking a home visit to the family.
We continue thanking God for our supporters – TTN Australia, Operation Lift and TTN Zambia and we pray for God’s blessings over them and their families
