SNAPshot a day: hospital

The hospital has become our new home. We have been quite a few times with pregnant friends as well as sick friends. But I'm thankful that I can help and support friends during very exciting times in their lives and difficult ones too.

We were able to meet Phila today :) A baby girl born on 25 April at 8:40am to Philani and Portia. Oh and it happened to be Philani's birthday... talk about an awesome birthday present! Please pray for Philani and Portia as they raise this child up to fear the Lord. Pray that Phila will grow up to love the Lord.


At the hospital, they only allow visitors from 2-4pm. And that includes fathers! No one is allowed outside of those hours, not even fathers who would like to be there for their child's birth.

While at the hospital today, we were able to visit another friend of ours, Andile, who is very sick. She has been in and out of the hospital for the past couple months. The current stay has been for a week and still no diagnosis. She is only getting weaker. I am truly worried for her if she doesn't get treatment soon. Please pray she will get the help she needs and for the doctors to have wisdom to diagnosis correctly. Pray she would grow closer to God during this time!
