Motor Bike Wreck

Raja's father Yesaw was in a motor bike wreck on his way home from preaching at a local church on Sunday. Raja is our driver and I have written about him and his family several times. Raja has an incredible heart for God. He is a sweet man and true servant of God. He was there with my mom as soon as they brought Moriah out of the delivery room. All of this to say he means a lot to us. His father Yesaw is a wonderful carpenter and has also worked for the mission for years. He broke his arm pretty bad and it is going to need surgery. We are thankful that God protected his life and now we pray for the healing of his arm. He is in a lot of pain and needs to find a hospital that will perfom the surgery for an amount that he is able to pay. The first hospital he went to said it would be 40,000 rupees which is about 1,000$. This is twice of what he would make in a year. So Raja's family continues to be attacked physically and financially. I believe there is a spiritual battle over this family because of Raja and his families great faith and spirit. Please pray for him. Raja fell down the steps two months ago and is still in pain. His wife has ongoing health issues which require an expensive specialist and his brother in law is having heart issues. Please pray for him.
Another worker here named Danny is going blind and this is a major concern. He is already blind in one eye and the other eye is deteriorating quickly. We are trying to send him to a specialist he cannot afford but they may not be able to anything. Please pray for Danny as well.
