May 9th I wrote on my blog: Please pray for Irak Mwanza whom we visited
yesterday who has some kind of strange skin condition all over his body
and is swollen especially in his face, hands, and feet. We'll follow
up with him on Monday and take him to the hospital. As I shared Christ
with him he began saying that is what he needed before I even finished.
He said he went to church as a young boy but had not been since and he
spent most of his life drinking. Praise God, he prayed to receive Christ yesterday! He is now a new Creation!
We took him to the hospital and they admitted him. We just took him
home this past Thursday. I sat down with the dr and he told me that he
had cancer of the blood vessels. He was scheduled for a biopsy this
Wed. and then begin chemo. As we were passing by his house today we met
his son along the road. We stopped and he told us that Mr. Mwanza died
this morning. He wasn't great on Thursday but he was doing better than
when he went in to the hospital. At the hospital someone was cooking
for him so he was getting food regularly. At home he just didn't get
the care he needed. We were shocked to hear this news and sad by it but
are so thankful that he prayed to receive Christ on the 9th and is now
in Heaven..
