Updates on Botswana Accident

2008-04-30T13:22:00.004-05:00

Candace(below) is doing well in Tulsa getting ready for graduation soon and Mrs. Kenosi (pictured with Candace before the accident below) will be returning to Francistown some time next week to continue her recovery. The doctor's have done what they can for her. They repaired the fractures to her spinal column but were not able to repair her spinal cord. So this is where GOD finishes the job! She still has no mobility in her legs. She has a good foundation in the Word and will be surrounded by people of faith!

Karla has been discharged from the hospital (see her room below)

She is now recovering at our house. She is able to get around with her walker and back brace. She even made it out to the optometrist today to get fitted for new glasses lost in the tumble.

Pearl is taking care of dad (Mr. Kenosi) at home!
We appreciate your prayers!

"...They shall recover!"

UPDATES ON THOSE INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT
CANDICE: Back in Tulsa 48 hors later than planned. Back with family and friends and working on finishing her music CD
KARLA: About to be discharged, just waiting for a corset to arrive and she should be able to come to our house to finish recovering.
MR KENOSI: Discharged on Friday! Arm is healing nicely. Should be playing bass again soon.
MRS. KENOSI: Doing well in Johannesburg. Had a surgery for her femur (thigh bone) that went very well. In the next day or two she will be operated on by a top nuerosurgeon being guided by the Great Physician for her spinal injury. She is noticing some sensation returning to her legs!
PEARL: Recovering nicely and getting ready to go back to school soon.

We appreciate your prayers!

Let's Finish What We Started!

***UPDATE (floors are tiled and ceilings finished in classrooms! Walls and ceilings painted in Outdooe and underwater themes, pictures to be posted later!)***

Below are some pictures of the less than beautiful areas of the building that need to be finished. It really was an awesome thing God did by helping us get on to our own property last year in a very short time!
Really my idea is that if there are some of you out there who are like me who can't walk past a crooked picture without staightening it (even at someone else's house who you don't know well) you will be compelled to help us finish this! :)

Wiring is finished but left hanging where ceiling is unfinished.

Almost ready for ceiling board.

Floors are rough cement covered in area rugs,

Need to be tiled

Walls need to be finished. Using masonite temporarily. Pretty? No.

Third year Rhema missions interns Candice Powers and Karla Hammond were in the accident (see below) with the Kenosi Family (see Kenosi pics post).

Candice will be back in Tulsa on Tuesday at noon. This will be her favorite shirt now with a genuine lion bite hole as a conversation piece!

Karla is still here with us recovering and resting. Missing her family but in good spirits.

Car Accident

2008-04-14T14:08:00.001-05:00

Hello all,
Many of you have been and will be asking about the car accident:
There were five people in the car, no one died ,PTL. A van overturned and flipped several times at about 75 mph (the speed limit here) . We don't know if a tire burst or fell off or what.
A couple in the church that we are very close to were taking their daughter to school in South Africa and so we arranged to have the interns share a ride with them.
Karla is in the hospital with a fractured vertebrae and and fractured rib. Nothing life-threatening and no loss of mobility. She just needs to lay still for a long tome- at least a week in hospital and probably weeks before she can travel. She is in good spirits.
Candice has a dislocated shoulder and banged up, had x-rays and released. She is due to arrive in Tulsa Tuesday at noon (April 15).
Our secretary and Kristin's personal assistant, Boitumelo Kenosi, (their kids are like brothers to our boys) is the most critical. She was airlifted to Johannesburg for a fractured vertebrae and broken femur. She just had surgery for her leg today, about to hear how that went. The hospital superintendent is a member of our church and organized for the top neurosurgeon in southern Africa to see operate on her. (The surgeon had been on an overseas trip and returned the night of the accident!) The medical report is that it will take a miracle for her to have mobility below the middle of her back. Thank God we serve a miracle-working God! There is a really good pastor friend of ours in Jo'berg that has been visiting her. Their boys are staying with us.
Her husband has a broken humerus and looks like he just finished 18 rounds of boxing but he will be discharged any day now. Their 18 year-old daughter hurt her feet but nothing broken.
Candice's father and mother were led to pray at around midnight Friday (11th) at the exact same time of the accident. I don't want to dwell on what could have happened but it obviously could have been much worse!
We appreciate your concern. I am glad that the word is getting around to praying people!
Matt
