Pray for Santos
When I was in Honduras this past January, there was a young man named Santos who came to our clinic. He had been in an accident and lost both arms below the elbow. The caring medical professionals looked at his situation and decided to pull out all the stops and try to get him arm prosthetics. His family is very very poor and there is no way they could ever afford the various doctors and therapists, not to mention the actual devices. Many people have donated their talents, time and money for Santos to get his prosthetics, but now that they are ready to be fitted, he has refused them. He thought he was getting prosthetics that looked and worked like real hands, even though the doctors told this was impossible due to the severity of his injury. (The prosthetics that will work best have hooks on them.)He will be missing a chance of a lifetime if he turns them down, and I can't imagine going through life with no arms. Whatever his reasons are, our Honduras team is praying for God to intervene and change his mind, so I am asking my friends to do the same. Satan always rears his ugly head, but he is no match for our Awesome God!
