Urgent Prayer Needed

This is Adoinet (Adou) St Amour. He is a former BTI student at HAFF who is now in his fourth year of Seminary in Port-au-Prince. Adou has been sick for a while now and finally the doctors in Port have found something. I am not exactly sure what. His family has told me that a lump was found on his liver. Adou himself wrote a former HAFF intern and said it is cirrhosis of the head of the lung. At any rate, the doctors in Port have told him he needs an operation, but it can't be done in Port. He needs to go to the States and that they would write him a letter for the American Embassy so he can get a visa.

But the questions remain. Where would he go in the States? To what doctor? Which hospital? What about his lack of insurance? Who would give him a place to stay during the diagnosis and recovery periods? We are checking to see if there will be a surgical team from the States coming to the hospital in Pignon so that maybe the operation can be done there. But we don't know if that will be possible. Or, if it is possible if it will be soon enough to help Adou. His family is not well off. He is only in Seminary beacuse he was able to get a scholarship. These questions aren't too hard for God with His infinite resources. Please pray.
Adou (left) is a young man who has already made a differance in the Spiritual life of the Plateau. 2 summers ago he worked with Gabi and Barb Van Schoyck to train leaders from several area churches how to do Vacation Bible Schools. The trainees, with Adou and the Van Schoycks, then went and held a day of VBS at 2 rural churches.

I believe that this attack on Adou's body is a spiritual battle as well as a physical/medical one. The goal Lila Clark had when she founded HAFF and BTI was to produce young men and women with the educational skills to go on for further training to lead the area churches. Adou is the first fruit of that dream. He is the first (though not the only) BTI student to go to seminary. I believe that this battle is one for the hearts and souls of the Plateau. Please pray.
This is Adou leading singing with Gabi at one of the VBS days 2 summers ago. Greg Van Schoyck was mentioning the other day that Adou was one of the first Haitians to mention in the local church that salvation is by grace alone. Most of the local churches preach that salvation is by grace, but you must also work for it and you can lose it if you do not remain faithful. Please pray for this young man so that he can be preserved as a light for his community. Thank you in advance.
