Act according to His good purpose

02nd December, 2006 (Saturday)

For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.
(Philippians 2:13)

Thank you for your encouragement to Pastor Li. Even a tough person comes across weakness when suffering from illness. We are grateful that God send us your prayer support. Though it is tough, we will move on because you are walking with us!

Pastor Li returned home from the hospital last night. More than 1,000cc ascites was extracted. It is not a large volume comparing to other patients (some are having 5,000 to 6,000cc to be extracted) but it had taken more than 8 hours already. Some pills for ascites were given to Pastor Li and the doctor said the pills do not have any side effect as they are carbohydrate. According to the dietitian, since Pastor Li does not have enough nutrient, his liver will decompose the nutrient stored up in the body. Hence, the liver function is deteriorating. Thank God, Pastor Li’s appetite is getting better today. Home care service has been arranged that the nurse will visit our home from time to time to follow up with Pastor Li’s situation. (Our next appointment in the hospital is 3 weeks later.) We want to express our gratitude to the doctors in Queen Mary Hospital for their thoughtful arrangement. We also thank God for His immediate support!

Prayer request :
1. We pray that Almighty God will heal and save Pastor Li.
2. We pray that Pastor Li will have good appetite so as to absorb enough nutrients from food.
3. We pray that Pastor Li will have strong faith in God’s healing upon him.

Mrs. Li
