My Beloved Friends and Family Around The World,
I would like to ask you to join me in kneeling for my dear friend Lina Charlene Mujambere.
Lina (on the left, in white) is from the African nation of Burundi, but she has been studying in Beijing for the past few years. I met Lina about two and a half years ago, when the Lord brought our paths together at the young adults group I attended in Beijing. Lina shines Jesus' light in all that she does, from serving on the church leadership team to playing and singing on the worship team.
Several hours ago, I received an e-mail from another friend in Beijing, asking for prayers for Lina. Not knowing what was wrong, I wrote back and asked, only to discover that Lina was hospitalized last week and has been in a coma for four days now.
What started as a seemingly trifle cold/flu bug a few weeks ago progressed into a vicious and aggressive form of pneumonia. Unfortunately, the pneumonia led to hypoxia (a form of blood poisoning when cells are not receiving enough oxygen) which in turn led to her slipping into a coma.
Presently, Lina is stable and her respiratory system seems to be healing, praise God. However, her brain is still unresponsive, and it is unclear if the hypoxia may have left any permanent damage or not.
Please join me in kneeling before our Father, the Great Physician, and believing in faith that He will heal Lina completely. Thank you for your prayers.
"See now that I myself am he! There is no god besides me. I put to death and I bring to life, I have wounded and I will heal, and no one can deliver out of my hand." (Deuteronomy 32:39)
"He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted." (Job 5:9)
"Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits – who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's." (Psalm103:2-5)
