Reading your prayer note for today, Friday 15 Oct. You will be at a virtual Bible Translation conference from today till Tuesday. I also pray for Wycliffe Bible Translators in Australia. Their note for today is that Graham Scott and David Nicholls will be attending a virtual Bible Translation Conference on 15-19 October. I suppose that is the same Conference! I wonder how many people will be taking part. Online is amazing.
Also, we have been praying for Nedeljko and his need for a kidney transplant. Just want to tell you about a young friend of ours here, who has been needing dialysis for several years, and for the last year or so, has been able to do this dialysis at home overnight. However, that is not a long-term solution.
At last, his sister has been able to donate a kidney of hers. Just a week ago, their surgeries took place. Damian’s two kidneys which were not working, were left where they were, and the new one kidney was linked in somehow and began working immediately. He has to be checked every morning for the next month. But we praise the Lord for giving him this new energy. He is a minister in a country town nearby.
Wondered if ONE kidney would be sufficient for Nedeljko, if one could be donated.
Thank you for your prayers for us. Yes, I’m sure it is the same Bible translation conference. It lists 986 attendees worldwide! Thank you also for praying for Nedeljko! We appreciate it so much.
