Visit from Mark

Aug 6:

It was very encouraging to have a visit from our pastor from Winnemucca Christian Fellowship, Mark Clendenen.  We enjoyed a good time of prayer and fellowship and he blessed us with a very generous gift from WCF.  I continue to be overwhelmed by how God has used WCF to be a blessing to me and to my family.  It is especially amazing how WCF proves their commitment to global missions through sacrificial giving and responding to needs of their brothers in Christ around the world.  I am very much looking forward to conveying this gift to SIM Galmi Hospital and helping to ensure it goes directly to where it can do the most good to help alleviate the suffering of those who come for help.

Thank you WCF

To God be the Glory

Serving together with you,

Brad

Stepping out in Faith

Katy and I are stepping out in faith to obey God's personal call on our lives to "do something" to serve the health needs of some of the neediest people on earth, people who are our "neighbors" according to Jesus' definition as outlined in his story of the Good Samaritan.  I am especially eager to visit and serve alongside my friend and medical school classmate, Joe Starke, who is the chief surgeon at Galmi Hospital.  We will be in the capital, Niamey,  by the end of this week and are asking for prayers for our final preparations, ministry opportunities, safety and closeness to God.
Thank you,  Brad Granath
