Update from Trinidad

The following is an excerpt of an email from Pastor Carl...

I just finished talking to Kevin. He says to say hi to all of you. He also thanks you for your prayers. As you know, he was shot in the neck and the doctor says that a “thumb nail” thicker would have been disastrous. The doctor could not believe he was alive since people shot in the neck usually die. He is still in pain and need our prayers. Today is Kevin’s b-day, and reflecting on what happened, he realizes that it is a blessing to see another b-day. (That reminds me to be thankful for everyday I can breathe).

Sue’s condition is worse than Kevin’s. She was shot in the hip and the bullet almost hit her spinal cord. At this point, she cannot lift more than 2 pounds (which is a “cup of coffee). She is in a lot of pain, but she is home resting a lot.

The rest of the people are doing better, but still recuperating from what happened. The kids are obviously still very shaken by the whole thing. At this point, they are raising funds to put fence around the living area.

The good news in all this is that doors are being opened for Kevin to speak in different places and connect with a lot of people on the island. The Wesleyan churches also contacted him and are supporting him in prayer.

Please, keep them in your prayers as they go through the physical and emotional healing process!
