Pray for Marco Lancha

Marco Lancha, the vice secretary of the Chayahuita Association of Evangelcal Churches, came on Thursday and knocked at the gate. He is usually a very upbeat guy, so when he looked liked he had lost his best friend I was concerned. He could barely speak. He told me that he has had a pain in his stomach and side and a headache for about 1 ½ months. He thought it would go away and so he just kept on going. The pain had gotten so bad on Wednesday that he hitched a ride downriver to Yurimaguas.

On Friday, Ken went with him to the hospital to be checked out. Poor guy was not only in pain but was scared to death about going to see a doctor. It turns out he had never been before this. They spent all morning running tests on him.

Today they ran more tests and took an xray of his chest. Ken and I are suspecting TB. He won’t get the results until Monday after we are gone, but hopefully we can call Pancho and find out. Please keep him in your prayers. It is hard just not knowing what he has for him.
