Pan-African Academy of Christian Surgeons graduates Dr. Jacques Ebhele and Dr. Samuel Nigo, both of whom received SF’s “More Than Surgery” book sets for medical missionaries, are contending with the recent Ebola outbreak. The epicenter lies at the hospital in Bunia, DRC, where the surgeons serve.
Dr. Nigo recently tested positive for the disease, in addition to many other staff members. With no vaccine or specific treatment, the situation is “very chaotic,” according to Dr. Ebhele. He continues, “The situation is terrible…but we will not give up. Because I know our Redeemer is alive and He will fight our battle while we are doing our best to try to help as many people as we can.” Please pray for healing for those who have fallen ill and for the protection of medical staff and their families as they seek to fight this disease.
