Barely a month until the Sudan trip! I can barely contain myself :). I am so excited about this opportunity.
I was officially done with work as of a few days ago. The end was kind of rough. The ICU has been super busy, and it's hard to leave knowing they need help. Even so, I know I am right where I'm supposed to be. Looking forward to some much needed time with my family and then off to Sudan!
Here are some prayer requests from my team leader. This will be the second cleft lip project team SP has sent to Juba, so I asked her about specific things to pray for that they had run into the first time.
1. Pray all our supplies/meds are able to be procured without too much of a challenge and will get through customs okay. Pray especially that we will be able to procure compressed tanks of oxygen and get it to Juba so we have enough o2 for the surgeries.
2. Pray that anesthesia machine works well. We rely on this machine to work well for the week of surgeries and we do not have a backup for this machine.
3. Pray the power supply is consistent and that the backup generator works well.
4. As we try mobilize patients, pray that people who need this surgery would hear about the team coming to Juba and be able to be helped. Pray that just the right amount of patients come for surgery- not too few, but not too many which would overwhelm the system!
5. Pray for our team, that we would work well together and be a light to the patients and staff we work with at Juba Teaching Hospital.
6. Pray for our Sudanese Pastors-Robert and Justin, who will be ministering to the patients during this week. Pray they would have many opportunities to point our patients and their caretakers to Christ.
