Lost Hope to Gained Hope

A lot of things have been happening since we have moved that have been keeping us extremely busy. A few days after we moved we found out that a young man (21 years old) that we minister to was very ill with possible tuberculosis. He was very weak, lost a lot of weight and was having a lot of difficulty breathing. We took him to get an x-ray and the next day it was confirmed that he had TB (tuberculosis). He was in critical condition and needed to be treated right away. After driving to 5 different hospitals/medical centers, he was finally admitted and had surgery to insert a tube into his left lung to drain the water. After the surgery, he was transferred to another hospital with a TB ward. He is being monitored and treated there until now. We have also just found out that he has an infection in his liver. Please pray for a full recovery and provision for medication. This young man has had a very rough past. He lives on the street, has sniffed solvent for many years now and was recently in jail. Shortly after his surgery, he had pretty much given up. He thought that it would just be better and easier for everyone if he would just die so people wouldn't have to spend time and money to help him. He has now expressed how he doesn't want to go back to his vices. Please pray first and foremost that he will realize how much God loves him and wants a relationship with him. Please also pray that God will give him the strength to stay away from the vices and peer pressure that he will face when he recovers.
