Recently I asked everyone to pray for my teammate Dan, who has been sick for over 2 months now. I wanted to update all of you and ask you for your continued prayer. I am so sad to share that the decision to send Dan home has been made. Dan's battled this illness for quite sometime now. It was only a few weeks after we arrived in South Africa that Dan's health started to deteriorate. We originally thought it was a parasite, but after a few hospital visits, and several different medications there was no change in his health, leaving the problem unclear. As a result of the mystery digestive/intestinal problem, Dan has lost a lot of weight, causing him to be light headed and dizzy most of the day. As of today we still don't know what exactly is causing the problem. Its best to send Dan home to be with his family, and receive proper treatment. In order to get healthy and truly recover from this illness, its best to send him back to the states. Please pray with our team for Dan.
I am so sad to see him go home, but the past few months have been very difficult for him and being sent home presents some new challenges. Please pray for his heart and for his health. Also, please pray that our team would have wisdom in how to continue to care for Dan from South Africa. God has sent him home, but he is still very much a part of the South Africa team. If you would like to read more specific details of the last few months for Dan, you can visit his blog site.
Last Monday Dan landed safely in Denver. He is seeking out proper medical care, and will hopefully find the problem sooner rather than later. When we get an update I promise to update all of you. Thank you for all of your prayers. I will update you on Dan situation as soon as possible.
