Some of you may remember us telling you about Daniel Coleman the immigration officer who died last year. He had become a friend and his death was a shock for us all. Through that sad event we got to know his younger brother Charles, who is a local Pastor and has taken over responsibility for Daniels children as well as looking after his own 5 daughters. 2 weeks ago Charles called to say that his youngest daughter (who is 4) had maleria, but was thank fully getting treatment.
Yesterday morning Charles called us again to say that his oldest daughter (16yrs?) had just died in an accident. We don't know the details yet but obviously they are very upset. He hasn't asked us for anything but prayer, even though we know they are desperately poor. Infact the whole time we have known him he has never asked for money - the only Liberian we know who hasn't! Maybe that is why we feel we have a real friendship and have felt free to bless them with money from time to time.
Please would you take a moment to pray for Charles, his wife Courage and their family as they walk through this. I'll post more information as I know it and as it is appropriate to do so.
Thanks.
