On Monday I wrote about the arrival of Freshia Wambui and narrated the excitement of the mother with all the hope and dreams of her new born baby. But Tuesday turned out to be a very devastating day for that family and for me too. The family sent me a message that Agnes the mother and Freshia were at the local clinic but Freshia had passed away. I quickly went to see them and know what had happened.
Freshia fell sick at around 4 am and by the time they arrived at the clinic she was pronounced dead. It was a very sad day for all friends and family. After the funeral which I helped to conduct, we received a report that evening that the father of Jane, our caretaker had committed suicide. What a day!
Remember our CTC family at this time as they ponder on the difficult challenges that have befallen them and thank you for your thoughts and prayers

Jeremiah & the CTC team;
We are saddened to read about the 2 deaths that all of you experienced there among you yesterday. Although the prayers for healing were not answered in the way we here on earth had hoped, God is sovereign and faithful. We will pray for you to have the strength and wisdom to comfort the loved ones and to persevere as you strive to organize to open your health clinic.
May God's grace & peace be with you,
Terry
Thanks Terry, We appreciate your prayers. As challenging as things are we will cling to the promise that God will never leave us nor forsake us. It has been quite an opportunity to serve and minister to the community in times of need.
Lets keep praying
So sorry to hear the news... wow, what a terrible sequence of bad news.
I'm sending lots of positive thoughts your way!
