On the Ground in Ghana

As we were sleeping last night, Dr. Rick Hodes and 20 of his spine patients arrived at Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa and boarded a plane to Ghana!  LFCA upper class student Debebe Alemayehu is one of the 20!  His mom, Yeshi, was able to travel into Addis on Saturday to give him lots of hugs and pray over him as they said their goodbyes.

I woke up this morning to a message from Dr. Rick who said he had a successful meeting with all 20 patients and their relatives where they reviewed their program and what to expect going forward.  They ended the meeting in prayer and at 5:30am, all the patients piled into a van and headed to the airport!  Love for the Children Director, Dereje Yeshidinber, was at the airport to support Debebe and told him that he has many people praying for him and following his story.
