A baby died today.

The mother holding her dear baby just before he died!


This dear little three month old boy was brought to our mobile clinic critically ill.  Pneumonia led to respiratory distress, which led to cardiac arrest.  Lots of other problems presented themselves.  We knew we needed to get him down to our main clinic, but had no time before he died.  If we had just known one day sooner, no doubt we could have saved his life.  The poor mother went hysterical and many tears were shed!  Thanks for your prayerful support.

The baby all cleaned up and dressed to give to his mother -- but she was gone.  Others carried her baby to her!

So, so heartbreaking - and you can see the strain on all the faces. We're praying for strength for you all, not just physically but also mentally. That precious baby is in the arms of Jesus...
