Prayer Request: Jack Nkandu

This morning, I received some very discouraging news from our German overseer. Jack Nkandu (pictured to the left) is Education Coordinator for the region of Central Africa and is based out of Zambia. I've known Jack since 1996 when he came to study at EBS here in Rudersberg. At the General Assembly, he is to be appointed as Regional Superintendent for Central Africa.

Jack was passing through Germany on his way to the States later this week. He was not feeling well when he arrived. However, his condition worsened so much that he had to be delivered to the Heidelberg University Hospital where he was immediately placed in ICU.

The shock is the diagnosis: Stage four cancer. I don't know the particulars of the cancer (this is simply the best information I have.

Jack is currently in a coma and is on life-support. Please pray for Jack, his wife and three children.
