Prayer Requests
As always we pray for God’s knowledge and wisdom. We also continue to ask for unity within the ministry team.
We would ask for continued prayers for the the staff fellowship as numbers fluctuate considerably. We believe that, as staff receive encouragement together this will powerfully impact the hospital as they go back into their various departments.
Please also continue to pray that the needs of both patients and their relatives are met – in terms of necessary medication, food and transportation

Photos
The first photo shows Sister Tamara and one of the OM brethren in the premature nursery ward standing by an incubator which was donated by Kabwe Chapel through TTN Zambia. The incubator originally came from Australia.
The second photo is of Sister Tamara and the mother of a premature baby who was very underweight when born and had difficulty breathing. The mother gave her life to Christ and, following prayer, the baby was healed. This photo shows the child two months later, fully recovered. The mum is receiving some items donated by one of the brethren, Jacqueline, from Australia
We continue to thank God for Operation Lift, TTN Australia and TTN Zambia for their ongoing prayers and support. We pray God’s divine protection and provision for them and their families.
