Joe_in_RP Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 My friend Pastor Owen in the Philippines is struggling. At 28 he was officially hired by the denomination and given a territory. Within 3 months on his new assignment he was poisoned with what looks like puffer fish. He had severe Kidney, Liver and Nervous system problems. I have a large prayer group who is praying for him. By the grace of God his kidneys are working fine. His liver is better but still not producing enough bile to digest food. His nervous system is better but he still has problems. At first I did not think he would live. His problems were so severe. But he is better. I am asking for more prayer so he can return to work. I have had many questions about this. Yes he was poisoned by the enemy. The pastor before him was poisoned but not so bad. In many parts of the world this is deadly serious business.

Joe_in_RP Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 I am happy to report Pastor Owen is recovering very well. His major organs are now funtioning and he is returning to work next month (in a new area). Thank you all for the prayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
