Another quick update

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to give you all a quick update and ask for your prayers for a few things. The guy I talked about in the last post who has the abscesses in the muscle layers of his legs has finally stopped having a fever! He had been febrile for the past week and a half. Please continue to pray for him as he still has a considerable amount of pus that is still draining. Pray for a quick and full recovery.
Two other prayer requests involve the supplies at the hospital. We have been using between 5-10 vials of anti-snake venom at the hospital each day over the last few weeks. We have been using more recently as the people are out in the fields working now that the rainy season is beginning. We learned today there is no ASV in all of Ghana! The hospital is in contact with people in Accra, the capital, but so far it does not appear to be looking hopeful. We need this stuff to save people's lives. Please pray God would answer this problem supernaturally and keep the people out of harm's way while they are in the fields.
The second request is we would be able to find x-ray film for sale. Apparently the hospital has not been able to find film available for purchase even in Accra. It is a regular occurence that we run out but are usually able to replenish in a few days. Please pray for the supplies to become available.

One more thing before I go. Greg and Wendy Nyhus, the family who is in charge of the volunteers and other things here in Nalerigu, has been working with the orphanage here in town that Steve and I talked about last week. Hopefully tomorrow we are going to return and put up mosquito nets for them as long as the supplies arrive.
I wanted you all to pray about something. There is a possibility of buying a chicken coup from a friend of the Nyhus's and buying chicks to raise to be egg-laying chickens. The chickens and coup would be donated to the orphanage and it would provide both nutrition
(eggs as a good source of protein) and a source of income (from selling the extra eggs). This is still in the idea stages and we are praying along with the Nyhus family to see if this is the best way to help them. We have some logistics to check on and are appreciateive of your prayers as we move forward. We are looking for guidance and leading from the Lord as to the answer.

Thanks for following along with us. We enjoy getting your comments.
Talk to you all again soon. Steve and I are well and having a great time. Continue to pray for us as we pray for you all.
Love,
Jeremy
