PIBC student hospitalized in Thailand

Melissa Heck, the PIBC dean of women, who is a part of the Thai mission team this summer sent this emergency email a few hours ago.

Although it is hard for us to understand exactly what happened one of our team members, Erten, walked into a glass door and it shattered severing the tendons in his hand and severing two veins. He was rushed to the hospital where he needed surgery to repair his hand.

He is in the hospital recovering --- should be okay but is in a lot of pain.

Please pray for Erten's recovery.
Please pray for the medical expenses to be covered some how.
Pray for God's protection over the rest of the team.
Pray for God's wisdom and discernment in the ministry. The spiritual battle here is fierce.

Thanks.... Melissa

Erten is the guy in the yellow shirt in the picture. He helped us pack our container last week before we moved.
