We received a message on our satellite phone early on April 1,2008 that Dr. David Masters, an English doctor and SIM-Sudan colleague, had passed away in the night.
He and his wife, Irene,have been stationed in Doro, Eastern Sudan, an SIM base. They've been part of a large medical ministry team there. This couple recently joined the SIM-Sudan team in January of this year but they were among our most experienced missionaries. Dr. David and Irene spent 19 years serving in Congo and then 19years serving in England.
They arrived in Doro on February 4, 2008. The day before he died, Dr. Masters rode his bicycle over an hour away to visit a village, taking care of their sicknesses and sharing the love of Christ. Please keep Irene and the Doro team in your prayers as Dr. Masters will be greatly missed.

We have been praying for his wife and his family since we heard. What a tragic loss for the team, what a joy to know that he's already been "received to glory".
