Blessed to be in Doro

From the air and on my way into the landing strip. Have you ever seen a tree of this size? They are called Baobob's and they are massive. The beginnings of putting my tent up. My tent is now up and I am moved in.

It is rainy season right now, so everything is so green, there are many trees in Doro, something that I did not have in Thiangrial.

I have been able to spend time with the people and am so blessed with the relationships that God has started to form.

Please Continue to Pray

Ryan has gone home to be with the Lord.

Friday was the toughest day of the year as the news that Ryan had succumbed to the injuries he suffered in last Saturday's aircraft accident and has gone home to be with Jesus. Ryan had been medevac-ed to South Africa on Wednesday for placement into an intensive burn unit, near Johannesburg. However, the extent of his burns and injuries were more than his body could withstand.

The family at AIMAIR are all grieving deeply as they consider the future for these two families.
"We believe in God's sovereignty and plans of good to come out of all of this."

Thank you for your continued prayers for the Toews and Williams families as they struggle through these heavy days. Please check for additional updates on the AIM AIR website at: http://www.aimair.org/page21/page21.html

"Therefore we do not loose heart although outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweights them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal" II Cor 4:16-18

UPDATE AND ASKING FOR CONTINUED PRAYER

We continue to ask for prayer for Frank's wife and children, as they deal with the loss of a husband and father. Among those who survived the crash, , Ryan sustained the most serious injuries. He underwent surgery at the Hospital on Sunday, and is currently being stabilized and prepared for a possible move out of Kenya where he will continue treatment and begin his long recovery. The other two passengers had much less severe physical injuries and are stable.

There has already been a large show of support for those involved in this tragedy. Many have asked how they can help. As a result of this accident, there will be innumerable financial burdens for both the Toews and Williams. If you have a desire to help in this way, Africa Inland Mission can receive gifts on their behalf through their offices in New. York.

There has been two projects set up one Memorial Fund for Frank Toews Project 099096 and one for Ryan Williams Relief Fund Project 099097. If you desire to help you can go to http://www.aimint.org/usa and give.
