Tison Needs Our Prayers

I got a note from Peter Scarborough asking for prayer for Tison. Tison has burns over about 40% of his body. His right leg has had an open wound on it that has a very bad infection. He has been so brave and has endured the daily changing of dressing. The hospital staff have done a wonderful job on all his wounds. He needs our prayers and support at this time.

Tison will meet with his parents tomorrow. He has not seen them for nearly a year. They will join him to apply for a passport. Once he is awarded a passport then he has to go to the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta to apply for a visa to the U.S. He has a lot of steps ahead of him. His world will change very fast.

Imagine living in a remote village in the tropics and coming to Fairbanks, Alaska in the winter for treatment. He is used to playing soccer and walking around bare-footed. He will be taken care of very well but the culture and cold will be major challenges. They think 75 degrees F. is cold--imagine minus 40 degrees. Please pray for him.
