PRAYER REQUEST

Yesterday, the president of the Chayahuita Association had an accident. Accidents happen frequently on the river. Oscar and Jesus were on their way to Maranatha to teach in a Bible Conference for 2 weeks and the river was extremely low. He stopped to take the motor off the boat so it wouldn't be hurt in the low water. When it was being taken off the motor propellor struck his buttocks and it severly cut him. We were called to see if we could get the hospital to send out a plane to pick him up since blood was gushing everywhere. The doctor was unable to find a plane to send. All of the health workers were out either here or on other jobs for the day and so there was nobody to help. We stopped and prayed in the house with 2 other members of the board. In less than an hour we received another call saying that one of the health workers on his way back to his village saw them and stopped. PTL!! Oscar would have bled out otherwise. He received stitches and they were transported back to Nueva Vida. Today he is resting well. Please pray for this to heal. From what we understand it really mangled his skin. Pray that there will be no infection. Pray for the others that are taking his place teaching, too.
