Praise
- All 8 members of Awad’s Family are now in a safe area of Sudan. The trip took 12 days (the highway being patrolled by the militant rebels). When they arrived at Kasla, they all ended up in hospital, suffering high level trauma and malnutrition.
- I have been diagnosed with a slipped disc, affecting my sciatic nerve. The doctor suggested another nerve block injection, so I was off work for 3 weeks. So far, about 65-70% successful. Still sciatic pain is an issue.
- I was invited to represent the ‘faith-based community’ at 2 community events for Immigrants August 8th and 9th to raise awareness of workplace rights. Only God.
- Met a local family at the book kiosk who were excited to see the books they saw last summer when they visited the ’Logos Hope’! They bought numerous books! I later sold a bible to a Saudi who had read it first in 1999 while studying outside his country.
Prayer Requests
1. After distributing a hot meal to the lads at the labour camp, I shared about the ‘Living Hope’ (1 Peter. 1)..
2. Leyton was preparing for his vacation back home to Bangladesh when he suffered a stroke and passed away shortly afterwards at the hospital.
3. Nasir and Harrisul were both badly injured. Though both were desperate to be home to their families, neither had the means to go home.
4. Remember Roton whose father died but he got home to see him before he died, Arif whose father is in a critical condition, his mum diagnosed with mouth cancer, and Ajith whose nephew is in ICU on life support.
