Retired GP Stephen and his wife Heather are serving as associate members in West Africa, where they help train health professionals in palliative care.
Their prayer is that, in due course, a training hub in palliative care will be developed so that local health professionals will train colleagues throughout West Africa.
Heather, a former administrator in Christian education, is also part of a team, teaching English to university students.
Please pray:
- that Stephen and Heather might demonstrate the love of Christ in the way they live their lives and in all their contacts with those around them;
- for the couple to have wisdom and cultural sensitivity as they work together with health professionals in the country to strengthen palliative care, so patients’ suffering and pain in all areas, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual, can be alleviated;
- with praise to God for the many encouragements the couple have had;
- for patience, perseverance and to stay Christ-centred.
