And now, a powerful update on our friend, Jakkie, from the Sunflower. I talked to him yesterday and he gave me some exciting news. A while ago he sent a hair sample to a doctor to see how the medicine (ARVs) that he’s been on has been affecting his HIV. Jakkie said that best case scenario just with the ARVs would be that there would be a 50% return to a normal amount of white blood cells, which is the determining factor in the seriousness of the virus.
Well, the word that Jakkie got back from his doctor was that his white blood cell count is actually more than 90% back to normal!!!!! Praise God!!!!! The doctor said that he had never seen anything like that and that he could only give credit to the Lord!! So cool!! God is so good! Thank you so much for your prayers for Jakkie in this time. I’ll be traveling up to Pretoria in a few weeks to get the rest of the team, and should see him when I’m there. I can’t wait to rejoice with him in person!
YAY!! when I read your email yesterday I about criedYAY!!!! Jesus is awesome!!
This is SO cool. GOD is truely amazing. I love when things like this happens. Hope you guys are ready for your team. I got to meet and hang out with them some at trainning camp. They are a good group. And I know that because of you they will be cooler when you are done. Give Jakkie a hug for me when you see him. Have you guys got an apartment yet? If so where is it at? Miss you and have fun at Alabanza.
Such an amazing update! When I was in elementary school, I learned a song called We are Marching to Pretoria! Wow! Now I can think of you two. Glad you are safe and will hope for your jetlag to end soon…watch out for the bed bugs! Love from the Nalls 🙂
