Tamba

A face this adorable should be seen by LOTS of people:). This is Tamba, and he was one of our much loved patients here last month. Tamba's family is from Sierra Leone, and after Tamba was born with a growth about the size of a large fist protruding from his face, they spent the next three months searching for help for him in their country to no avail. As it turns out, God had greater plans than just the healing of their son.

Tamba's parents ended up being connected with a land-based Mercy Ships ministry in Sierra Leone...from there, the arrangements were made for the family to come to the ship to be assessed for surgery. Tamba was approved, and underwent the eight-plus hour operation, and came through with flying colors.

As I came to see the family off before they were discharged from the hospital, I had the opportunity to meet the local pastor who had hosted this precious family while they were in Monrovia awaiting Tamba's surgery. As I spoke with him, he shared that before coming here to Liberia, Tamba's family had been Muslim. While staying with the pastor, they had the opportunity to hear about Jesus, and Tamba's father had accepted Christ as his Savior!


Please pray for this precious family as they are now back home in Sierra Leone. Pray that the seeds of faith planted would grow to be strong in their lives, and that the testimony of the healing of this little one would bear witness to God's exceeding goodness in their lives.
