Update on Webit

Praising God that he has been working in Webit's body and within HIS people to make a way for her to receive medical treatment.

Here is the post from today reguarding her condition:

Sunday Night Update

We just got an update on Webit from the Hopechest staff in Ethiopia. The details are still sketchy and the email is a bit hard to understand due to the language barrier but this is what we know.

Webit had surgery yesterday and she awoke from anesthesia in the afternoon. She was talking and her voice sounded strong. This morning she was able to sip some tea. Her family is incredbily thankful - the email expresses gratitude to her sponsors, the Herwehe family, and everyone that is praying for her and helping with the medical fund.

Over and over they praise God and give thanks. They felt like "death was knocking at the door" and that this surgery and medical care were just in time. They are praising God for this intervention and are asking for continued prayers as her little body fights the infection and as she recovers. As soon as we have more information, I will update here.

Please keep Webit and her family in your prayers

Please if you have not given yet please consider giving even a small gift toward Webit's care. Any amount will help her. Reading the words that Webit's family is praising God and giving thanks over and over again swells my heart. They have been given a precious gift for their daughter...HOPE! A gift they could not offer her themselves has been given to them, a gift we get to be part of as their brothers and sisters in Christ.

Thank you God for being a God of mercy! You are BIGGER and GREATER than we can even fathom, thank you for loving us and hearing our prayers for Webit!

Friends, Thank you for helping her!
