Dear Friends,
Urgent Need in
Peru for Young Girl
Once again, as with the young woman in Russia, we are being
asked by an on-the-field missionary for medical help. Please read Buddy
Fitzgerald’s information below. He is in Puerto Maldonado, Peru.
Our medical team will be there in July of this year.
Your help in past times has been a true blessing. If
you have any suggestions, please, let us know as soon as possible. Our
missionaries need prayer. They are facing difficult situations with
limited help.
Buddy sends the following, “This is from some new
friends of ours here in Peru. Do you know anyone who could help diagnose this?
Begin forwarded message:
‘Hi Blaine, we have moved a single mom and her 5 children
into our home as they need help to get back on their feet. The oldest girl 16
is very ill and currently in our care she is suffering from what appears to be
Pemphigus; Dr here diagnosed. We were told by Dr at a clinic here that's what
it was and when we looked it up it seems consistent with her symptoms . They
gave us a drug called Levozalicer( maybe SPANISH ) levocetirizina .
The condition is quite severe literally her skin is
falling off her body , can you provide any other advice based off a pic only
unfortunately as to what else we can do for her ? We are scheduled to meet with
a dermatologist on Sat as well . We understand that this condition is brought
on by malnutrition. She is now eating very well with us and we are giving her
some vitamins also and the medicine previously mentioned. We are concerned that
the condition has progressed to severe state and we are looking for specialist
advice on how to treat it. Medicine diet etc. thank you maybe you could
share this with some of the doctors where you work, we just want her to
be well.
Blessings from Peru!!

But God doesn't call us to be comfortable. He calls us to
trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations
where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through.’"
I have a picture of the young girl which I can send for
further observation. I am not sending it generally because of its visual
impact. If you are easily offended by visual, please do not ask for this
attachment.
Please let us know ASAP, if you have any suggestions.
YAPP Island
Typhoon
Operation Renewed Hope is very committed to the help of
people impacted by natural disasters. It is rewarding to take a storm or
earthquake which occurs in a marred world and reverse the dire circumstances
created. We want people to know that our God loves all men.
In these efforts we often work with some of the most
wonderful people on earth. Below is a report from such people.
Instead of duplicating efforts, ORH seeks to combine our efforts with the
efforts of others. Dr. Jack Mitchell’s organization, Grace Dental and
Medical Missons, and missionary, Paul Zimmer, are an example. Bryan Bell
of Grace Dental and Medical Missions led a team to help Paul Zimmer with the
island people.
This is their most recent report.
“We transported and distributed over five tons of food,
water, tarps, soap, shirts, hats, and many other necessities to small outer
islands with populations ranging from 150 to 800. These essential supplies went
a long way to strengthen relationships between missionaries and island
communities, and to help people who have suffered great physical and emotional
trauma….
Aside from the goods provided, our team of twelve workers
labored very hard to help bring order out of the destruction and chaos left by
the relentless winds of Super Typhoon Maysak. We brought eight chainsaws
with us to the islands and most of our time was spent clearing roads and homes
of fallen trees….
We were often asked or told by islanders, especially the
elderly, that the typhoon was God’s punishment for lawlessness and sin on the
islands. On Sunday morning, missionary Paul Zimmer was able to speak in the
men’s house (to all the men of the islands) on the island of Fadrai. Paul
shared the gospel starting from Luke 13:….
We are thankful for the advances made for the
Gospel. Relief and Recovery efforts will continue over the next months….”
Please continue to pray for these healing efforts for
Islands often never remembered in every day experience. They need help to
recover. They need the gospel.
