Urgent Prayers Needed
Jul 27, 2014, 1:25 PM
|
|
My friend Dr. Kent Brantly has tested positive for Ebola while treating individuals with the outbreak in Liberia. Kent is an amazing person with a giving heart that put others before himself. He has a wife and two young children. I personally know him, his sister, his parents, and several of his cousins. He has been laboring for many hours a day for months fighting this disease in others and now must do so for himself. Ebola is normally deadly 90% of the time although this strain is about 60%.
Please pray for Kent, the doctors taking care of him, and all of the three countries in Africa that are dealing with this outbreak. It has killed over 600 people so far this year and few are aware.
ABC News and several other media outlets are covering Kent's story.
Thank you for your prayers. Ken Pittman

Just saw a segment about him on the news, he looks to be a good Samaritan and all around good person. Prayers out to him and his family.

God is real, good, and all powerful. His love is everlasting and his mercy endures forever. I believe in prayer and faith. Praying for your friend. He sounds like an awesome man.
