YWAM Relief is wanting to respond some urgent medical needs. Our teams are buying protein powder, milk powder, food, general medical supplies for a number of families we know who have no money for urgent medical attention. Two ladies need surgical care that are beyond our current ability to pay:
P was burned when a gas cannister exploded in her face. Her husband rushed her to hospital for emergency care and left her to her fate. If we had not been alerted to to her circumstances she would have died. We paid for life saving surgery. She is now ready for further operations to enable her to eat normally and move her head. Please help to make this possible.
B is a pastor’s wife. She is suffering from extremely painful gallstones and needs urgent key hole intervention. The family lives in an area of civil unrest and they need to travel many miles to attend a hospital. We need funds for their travel, surgery and recovery expenses.
Can you make a contribution to our medical emergency fund? These families are unable to cover even basic costs of medical care.
Our interventions make a difference. You can give hope to the helpless. Visit Donate page.
Please join us to help many more.
BACK IN JARANWALA
The Christian community in Jaranwala was attacked by a mob of militants at the end of August. Homes and churches were destroyed. The government has now handed out compensation to enable them to rebuild, but many pastoral and social needs remain among these traumatised people.
We have been able to assisting the needy. Here is a report from one who can now minister to many others, here is his response:-.
“Thank you for the harmonium ( a musical instrument). The govt gave me money for my house, but you have given me hope and my livelihood back. Now I can go around again, visiting people and singing God’s Word in Punjabi so they can find Jesus in the midst of all this suffering”.
About Jaranwala:-
Christians make up around two per cent of the population, many living in villages in the Province of Punjab. More than 5,000 live in the Christian quarter in Jaranwala, most of them on meagre wages, their cramped homes shared by up to 18 relatives.
