Asking for another miracle

This afternoon, Travis received a sms from Kataramu Francis to please come as his son is dying. As Travis and other CSB teachers reached the home in the village, Jason had already passed on. A boy the same age as my own. A father with dreams much like those of Travis. A mother who will cry herself to sleep tonight.

The words of a colleague now ring true: the greater miracle may be that the family will still have faith if he does die.

The teachers (and Travis) have gathered for a fellowship night, one in which they can pray, sing, share in suffering together, and meet the practical ways of caring for their fellow teacher by preparing for Jason's burial.

Please pray for that greater miracle; that in the midst of deep sadness we can all have faith in a Sovereign and Loving Father that now holds a young Babwisi boy in His arms.
