Pastoral Care, even in DC

While attending RBC Mission Conference last week we got an email that CAMex Missionary, Rich, happened to be with a group of young people from Nebraska on a school trip to the DC area and had suffered a something like a stroke and had been admitted to the hospital.

We made some quick calls and made connections for Sara to stay with some friends after she flew in from Nebraska.  Glenn wheeled me into the hospital and make a visit with Rich and his wife.
Again, this is one of those times that we are thankful we could care for the missionary family, even while we were attending a mission conference.  Since we had the Kraft's van for 2 more days, we were able to minister to Sarah by helping to drive her to and from the hospital.

Continue to pray for Rich and his recovery.  Rich and Sara hope that he will be released from the hospital on Friday and they plan to fly back to Nebraska, where they are on home assignment, as early as Saturday. Please pray that Rich will stabilize completely, that he will continue to improve and that their costs will be covered.
