Our Connection is Still Prayer!

Hello everyone:

Yesterday I got word that Rick Ratzel was sick. We were very concerned for him and many of us have been praying for him. Today he is feeling better but we need to continue to pray for him and the rest of the team.

Apparently, the enemy is not too happy that Rick and the others who are working in the CAR right now. The same day Rick arrived in Bangui, he heard that his dog died and his son had had a car accident.

Another one of the team members, Nikesi, a Central African and a member of ICDI staff, who was working with the guys in PAMA, had to be taken back to Bangui because his health was not good. He is still not doing well and needs our prayers. He has a wife and small children. Please, pray for Nikesi.

As far as work goes, they have only a small section of the school to finish and are planning to work on the latrines the next two days. Unfortunately, they were not able to hook their computer up to their sat phone, so we are not able to get regular updates and/or pictures. But Tim is hoping to send pictures when he gets to Berberati.

Thanks for your prayers and concerns for our CAR team!
