Jovanus’ Surgery: MAY 18

Posted on 13. May, 2011 by in BLOG, NEWS, PRAYER

Raised in the poor village of Kageyo, Jovanus and his family never thought his disability could be fixed.  This precious seven-year-old boy lives every day with deformed legs.  His smile wouldn’t tell you that, though.  He radiates joy…even despite his daily suffering.

As mission teams have visited Kageyo, this special boy captured the hearts of a few, who resolved to help this boy.  Generous friends and supporters of Africa New Life have provided the funding for his surgery.

After months of x-rays and evaluations, Jovanus is ready for surgery. 

On May 18, he will finally get help! For an impoverished refugee living in Kageyo, this is a miracle.  Jovanus and his mother are now in Kampala, Uganda (Jovanus’ first experience in a BIG city!) awaiting the procedure.  Wednesday, May 18 is a big day.

PLEASE JOIN WITH US TO PRAY FOR JOVANUS!

In the coming days, lift Jovanus up to Our Healer.

Pray:

  • that God will guide the hands and minds of the doctors in Uganda who will be performing the surgery.
  • for a successful surgery for Jovanus and for God’s peace to fill his body.
  • for Jovanus’ mother who is undoubtedly nervous about this major procedure for her son.
  • that Jovanus has a quick recovery as he endures physical therapy and learns to walk correctly.

Since 2001, God has immensely blessed Africa New Life!  Young children once stood, hands-locked, in a circle on the property of New Life Christian Academy praying that God would provide money for the school to be built.  Today the campus boasts a primary school, seven children’s homes, a well and a garden.  Construction on the Potty Project–which will provide bio-gas toilets and plumbing for the children’s homes–began in July.
