Holly has just begun a new assignment in North Africa, working in a hospital which is owned and overseen by a branch of the national church, and surrounded by many unreached people. Praise God for the opportunities she has had to share in the staff morning devotions, and that this has contributed to her sense of belonging in the community there. The last couple of weeks have seen some significant changes, with one of the residents suddenly leaving the training programme. It has left the surgical training very tenuous, and the hospital is trying to attract others to come and help with the service. Please pray for Holly’s colleagues who are feeling uneasy about the future, and for wisdom to make the best use of time and resources.

Holly has just begun a new assignment in North Africa, working in a hospital among unreached people. Recently, while her team were doing a book study, there was a commotion downstairs as a family brought in a (tragically fatal) sick patient. It was a stark demonstration of the contrast between the hope and security they knew and could take great comfort in, as they sat upstairs, and the sorrow and despair the family below were experiencing; a powerful reminder of the reason why they, and the hospital, are there to share the hope of Christ. Please pray for Holly as she navigates these contrasts, and that the Lord may use her to be a light in places of great darkness.

Holly has just begun a new assignment in North Africa. The hospital where she will be serving is in an unreached area. Virtually all patients come from an unreached group, and appreciate the good care that they receive, knowing that the hospital is run by Christians.  Holly’s role is overseeing the training of local doctors in surgery, in a very structured training programme, both professionally and in training for outreach. Pray for her as she establishes relationships with new people, as a supervisor and a colleague, and works out how to encourage those already involved in outreach.
