Rebecca (Becca) Buckley (Student), who is in East Asia:   She is in the hospital awaiting an appendectomy.  Obviously, something like this is always a concern, and especially when the surgery is taking place outside of the country.  We do have a high degree of confidence in the doctors who will be performing this surgery but, obviously, family members here in the U.S. are concerned and have a lot of questions.

Our Intercultural Studies students who are on their field immersion experience right now.  We have some students in Eastern Europe (2) and others are in East Asia (12).  Both teams have experienced some real challenges this past week.  Several are battling with sickness (mainly stomach problems), but there have been some other health issues as well.  As you may know, both of the areas where these students are serving have been (or still are!) under the influence of communism with its atheistic thrust.  The spiritual darkness in these places is strong, and these students are experiencing the reality of spiritual warfare and demonic activity.  Many people in these locations have never even heard the name of Jesus, and just to speak that name in some of these places brings the powers of Hell to bear on these students and the work that they are doing.
