Andre is OK!

Late on Friday after we completed our program and week of ministry, we found out from a close freind of Andre that he had some stiches in his head and bruises, but there was no concussion. He will be in the hospital for the next 8-10 days recovering. Andre doesn't remember a thing about the falling or what happened.

The class that afternoon was less somber and you could see relief on their faces. The girl who was crying for her freind the day before showed the sence of hope in her eyes and on her face. I asked several questions and then thanked the group for praying for Andre the day before.

Walter did have them all make cards and write letters to him. They were taken to the hospital, but they hadn't been read yet. Andre was evidently too tired from his recovery. When he does recover fully, he'll have a renewed sence of hope by knowing how concerned his peers were along with the American's he had just met that week.

It will be interesting to know how this incident and their reaction with letters of cocern willl change all of their lives in the coming months. Thanks for your prayers as this healed a boy and softened some teenage hearts.
