Prayer for one of our international students

Postby Sheenar » Wed Dec 12, 2007 9:17 pm

Please be in prayer for one of our international students. His name is Victor and he's from Botswana. He has been diagnosed with cancer. He has a wife and son. I don't really know him personally, but it has been amazing to see the rest of the international students rally around him during this time. They've set up a fund for his treatment and a fundraiser at a local restaurant. Pray for strength during this time and that God will draw him and his family to Himself.

Thanks!

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

An update:
I was finally able to check my University email. Victor has passed away. He leaves behind his wife and children. Please pray for them.
