Josue!

This blog update revolves around one common theme - the name Josue (Joshua)! 



The first story revolves around Josue' Daniel, our precious Open Doors child who spent part of July and most of August in the hospital.  At this point, he has been discharged and is on his way to a full recovery!  Though diagnosis was difficult to come by, your prayers helped the doctors to discover an enflamed duct in his kidney that was causing an infection.  It is unsure yet if the enflamed/distorted duct is due to an infection or a birth defect.  Josue had been in and out of the hospital over the last few months, each time without diagnosis.  He is now on various medications and is seeing a kidney specialist weekly.  Please pray with us in faith believing that 1) the infection leaves his tiny body, never to return, and 2) that this is not a birth defect requiring surgery or other intervention!  Thank YOU for praying and holding up little Josue' and our staff as this has affected each of us in different ways!  Pray as well for Open Doors Orphanage as we continue to seek financial and prayer sponsorship for each of our precious children! 

 The second story revolves around another young man named Josue.  This individual just so happens to be the boyfriend, and now fiance of PBM staff nurse Yojana!  We celebrate along with the young, happy couple as they embark on this new phase of life together.  CONGRATULATIONS!
