Lazarus

Pictured in this photo is a young man named Lazarus who has been at the hospital for over 6 months.  I will relate what I know of his story, though I may not have all the details straight.  At some point, he lost his parents in an automobile accident.  He is not from this area, but was visiting his grandmother up north here.  He was playing soccer (called football) when he broke his leg.  As can often happen here, his injury got infected.  After much work and many months, it was determined his leg needed to be amputated.  

Lazarus loves the Lord and knows English well.  He reads his Bible daily.  He is still in the hospital at this time though he gets around pretty well here on the compound during the day.  His grandmother looks after him much of the time.  Lazarus is able to get around some now on crutches.  We are hopeful he will receive a prosthesis.  Your prayers for him are greatly appreciated.
