Kudjip Nazarene Hospital:  Word has been received from Dr. Jim Radcliffe that his open heart surgery has been moved up from August 4th, to this Thursday, July 17th, 2014. (Cleveland Clinic, Ohio, USA) All of us here on the Asia-Pacific Region along with Dr. Jim, Kathy, and the family, are asking that you make this a prayer priority!  Please circulate the word to your church members and small groups.

“We are very grateful for the prayer and support of our church family. We are trusting Jesus to see us through this. His word is very precious to us.”  Dr. Jim

This morning (July 17th PHT) the following praise was added by Kathy.

“We felt the Lord’s presence today as Jim finished the pre-op tests, met with our surgeon and prayed for him. The cardio-throacic surgeon was delightful to talk with.  He grew up in Southern Africa, spoke the local language as a child.  His parents were missionaries in medical administration and he knew of the Nazarenes.  He had also visited our Nazarene Hospital in Swaziland as a medical student.”

This is such an incredible answer to prayer!  Only God could arrange these types of connections!   Keep on praying! Dr. Jim and his wife Kathy, have served as General Surgeon at Kudjip Nazarene Hospital since 1985.  For further information about this prayer request, please see the prayer request page .
