Update on Edwin

A few days ago I brought to you a story about Edwin Bett, who has Chronic Myeloid Leukemia and made a plea for funds and prayer for healing for this young man. I very much appreciate those of you who responded.  We continue to need your support as things are moving quickly and we are stepping out in faith.

Today, Jonah of Missions of Hope, accompanied Edwin to the Tenwek Hospital in Bomet, Kenya.  They spent the entire day there and as you can see it was raining heavily.

Edwin is a tall young man. I hope both of them can stay dry enough to avoid a cold.

Edwin has been referred to Nairobi and so Jonah and he are on their way for further examination and possibly treatment.

Please continue to keep them in prayer and if you can help with the costs, there is a donate button at Missions of Hope, click here.


Give, and it will be given to you.
A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over,
will be poured into your lap.
For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Luke 6:38 NIV


I invite you to go to the bottom of this post where you will find share buttons. It is easy to share this story on Facebook, Twitter, through email with your friends or you can even blog about it yourself. The more people who see and read this story, the more likely Edwin can get the help he needs.

Thank you so much for reading and to those of you

Hi Penny—
I'm sure Edwin isn't going to be over this in a hurry, so I'll send more at the end of March.

Kay at this point, I don't know whether they will keep him in hospital or he will go back and forth. Either way, he will continue to need funds so your committment for the end of March is very welcome. Thank you so much!

Joyful,
I pray for him at home. Whenever I visit a temple or shrine, I pray and ask Buddha or deties to help him. Your love is vast and boundless like Kannon bodhisattva!
