Herb

Herb shares that Mr Same Same Bagar, a patient who considered Heather like his mother, suddenly picked up an acute respiratory ailment on a short visit to his family and died. It was a shock to the entire Annoor team. It was a vibrant reminder of how precious each patient is and why Annoor is committed to treating the whole person not just the visible disease. Pray for the staff as they love and share their faith while treating diseases.

John & Dawn

John and Dawn are thankful for a God who stands at their side each and every day giving wisdom and grace in difficult decisions, safety across many miles, and the right words at the right time to soothe fragile hearts and calm quiet fears. Pray for them as they follow the path God has set before them as they serve Pioneers, and look forward to welcoming their first grandchild later this month.
