Urgent Prayers Needed For Clement Today!

Newton has just come from the hospital in Ndola, Zambia with a report on our precious boy, Clement. Your prayers are urgently needed in this hour.

Clement's surgery to remove his eye tumors was yesterday. The surgery went fine. However, after removing them the doctor discovered that the boy's lenses were severely damaged. Upon questioning the mother, it was discovered that she'd been using "medicine" from the "traditional healer" (witch doctor) to remedy the boy's blindness. The doctor says that his eyes will never work.

Clement is in terrible pain from the surgery today. Rather than waiting for his eyes to heal from the surgery, the doctor advises removing them since they will not work anyway. Everything in me screamed "no" to this solution and I pleaded with Newton to return to the hospital to ask the doctor to use painkillers while the boys eye heals. (He has none.)

At this point, the father (who miraculously returned two weeks ago) is holding out that they should not remove the boys eyes. But Newton is not sure that decision will be sustained.

I feel it is urgent that we plead with God to stop the pain, convince the family to keep Clement's precious eyes and then ask God to do what the doctor's say cannot be done.

Will you pray right now? 

And perhaps pass this prayer request on...
