James very ill...





Greetings this Monday Morning,
Your prayers are asked for James as he is very ill in Freetown. I had some communication with him last night - he is suffering some severe stomach pains and is not doing well at all. He will try to find a reputable doctor and facility today. As soon as I know something, I will update you. In the meantime, thank you for your prayers.





James has been doing over the call of duty recently....

from helping those in need to supervising and working construction on the school and preparing the uniforms. All the while continuing his camera work for the support of his family and being a great, caring husband and father. In addition to the illness, I am sure he is exhausted. Please pray for this remarkable young man. Thank you.
