** Update – Prayer Requested for Nazarene Leader in Papua New Guinea

by | May 11, 2016

*** Update Below – Please pray for Mr. Baru Dirye, the Nazarene Health Secretary for Papua New Guinea at Kudjip Nazarene Hospital. He is having a biopsy of a bone growth to find out if it is cancerous or not. If it is not cancerous, he will need hip surgery but this could possibly be done in the country. If it is cancerous, he would need care outside of Papua New Guinea depending on the type of cancer. Please pray for God’s healing touch on Baru and God’s peace and direction for him and his family.

*** Update, Saturday 05/14/2016

With the Lord’s help, Baru Dirye had a successful hip replacement surgery and removal of his mass.  Please continue to pray for Baru, Christina and their family, as they wait for the pathology report, and then knowing what the next steps would be depending on if it is cancer or not.
