Dear Friends, As our mission team arrives in Serabu, Cathy is in her final stage of dying. In addition to all of her other body malfunctions, she cannot move her legs, left arm or her head. She has lost functional vision due to nystagmus. She breathes shallow puffs with a loud death rattle. But this tough lady is not going easy. Rather, she is suffering greatly to move lots of souls closer to Jesus.
We have had a steady and deeply appreciated flow of visitors: children, grandchildren, siblings, and good friends. One of our prodigal sons arrived last week and the mom-son reunion was both tearful and joyful. Cathy shouted his named with a tone of disbelief when she first set her bedridden eyes on him. Speaking of joy, this picture is from a happier hookah-time in Egypt and is one that I like very much. My next update will be in a few days.
You both continue to be in my daily prayers.
My thoughts and prayers are with you both. Heaven going to get a great person that will never be forgotten here.The love and beauty that she carries with her will add to the splendor of heaven.

At our prayer group last Thursday at Church of the Holy Spirit, Mary Scott had us pause and pray for Cathy. We pray and all agreed that soon we will have a saint in heaven to intercede for us. Then many of us felt the quivering sensation of the Holy Spirit affirm us! 🙏❤️🙏
Prayers continue for both of you and your family. What joy ya’ll must have felt to have your children come home; it does a heart good, as they say.
