In Jesus' Presence...

Today, at 1:00p.m. Baby Mwaba went to be with Jesus. After a battle with pnemonia and malaria, he passed away in the arms of his aunt. I received the news from Zeria and began to weep for my precious friend, Chilufiya. My heart broke and it was hard to breathe. I praise the Lord that Elaine, Jane, and Miranda were here to hug me, pray with me and comfort me before walking to the hospital to see Chilufiya. I praise the Lord that they were willing to stay with my precious babies so that I could go and pray with, cry with, and comfort Chilufiya. Please pray for Chilufiya, Wadeya, Lucy, Sandra, Masiye, and Paul as they mourn the loss of their son and brother. It has been a long and emotionally draining day. Pray that in time Chilufiya will turn to Christ and find peace in Him. Thank you all for your prayers and love.

I'm sorry, Joy. I know this is painful. It happens way too often in our part of the world.
