Medical Work in the Bush<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\"\"<\/a>Meeting the medical needs of the Simbari has kept Shari busy. a portion of her time is spent dressing wounds, giving injections and even suturing gaping cuts. Recently a five-week-old baby girl did not respond to our penicillin injections for severe pneumonia, so we evacuated her by airplane to the Goroka hospital. There she was diagnosed as having severe pneumonia and heart failure. After a few weeks she returned, and now she is a beautiful healthy baby. Another emergency medical evacuation involved a 30-year-old man who had fallen from a pandanus tree while collecting nuts. His back was broken and his spine severed. The doctors say he will be permanently paralyzed below the waist. We are not sure what will become of him. He is not a believer and he has a difficult road ahead of him. Please pray that he and his family might turn to Christ. His name is We\u2019wenjal.<\/p>\n

Language Study<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"It has been exciting as we find ourselves able to say more and more in the tribal language. We can now keep most conversation in the tribal language, but we still have quite a bit of work to do before we can teach biblical truths. We will be taking another language test as soon as it can be arranged. KEEP PRAYING!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe Want A Missionary\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We have had multiple requests from reprentatives of at least 10 villages asking for a missionary. They have heard that New Tribes missionaries teach and translate God\u2019s Word in the tribal language. They say that their women and old folks need to hear the Good News too and that is why they want to be taught in the tribal language. Please pray for wisdom and for more laborers. There is a huge job of teaching, translating, and literacy for us to do, and we are sadly shorthanded.<\/p>\n
