(mah-POO-too) – “Antonio, the pastor of one of our Baptist churches here in Mozambique, was in a motorcycle accident a couple of weeks ago and broke his leg just below the knee,” writes the Southern Mozambique Team. “He was taken to the central hospital here, and has still not had surgery. He is in the biggest public hospital in the country. Surgeries are done one day per week. There are hundreds of people waiting to be operated on. Antonio receives no care from nurses outside of the hours in which his family is allowed to be there to care for him. His bed is in an open room that houses 30 other men lying in their own beds, many of whom have much more severe injuries than his own. This pastor will likely receive care from a private clinic since his family has the means to pay. Other patients will lie with broken bones for months. Pray for those who have no one to care for them. Pray for the forgotten of this country, asking that even if they are forgotten here, their Father in heaven will remember them.”
