Last night a church member called to find out how I was and we had a conversation about how I was keeping. The conversation then went on to a much loved former PTEC member who has since graduated and is now serving in one of the church schools in Tonga. I was informed that her cancer had returned, apparently with a vengeance and what she was told by the authorities in Tonga who had reviewed her case that since the cancer had spread they would not recommend her evacuation to NZ.
I would tell Melefepaki Afu NOT to give up and to join others in praying and to read Luke 18: 1-7... a story Jesus shared with His disciples about the woman who prayed persistently, crying out day and night and praying perseveringly despite all the physical evidences (pain & growth) don't give up, don't let go of our Lord's hand. (Early Writings p.73).
