Pa’s Wake-Up Call


Pa was driving her motorcycle early in the morning. Her 19 year son was on the back. As she was thinking about something her husband said, she fell asleep. Her wake-up call was running into a large cement mileage marker. She sustained injuries to her abdomen, bruised her ribs, broke her left arm in several places and separated her shoulder. While Bow, her son, hit his head resulting in 9 stitches in his forehead. Because of her internal bleeding, the local Khao Phanom district hospital sent her to the provincial hospital in Krabi city for surgery. Staying in a hot hospital ward with about 30 other women, she waited on the surgery.
During her hospital stay, our team, and then members of the local Baptist church went and prayed for Pa. After our prayers her bleeding stopped and she didn’t have to have the operation on her abdomen. Two days later her broken arm was set and the doctors waited a few more days to make sure she was OK. Pa believed that God had answered our prayers for her. Pray for her to be patient in her recovery and be faithful in attending the cell group.
