All About Peter

September 3rd, 2008

Because our site is making a few changes, we wanted to re-post this info about Peter.

This is Peter. He’s eight years old and goes to a Hope School in Nairobi, Kenya. Kenya is in Africa.
Peter likes to go to school. But learning at school and playing with other kids is very hard for Peter because he cannot hear. Peter is deaf and he does not know sign language. But that is all about to change. A doctor is going to help give Peter a cochlear implant- it will help him to hear for the first time! After Peter’s surgery, he will need lots of help to begin learning how to process sounds and to speak. Our VBS offering will help pay for the therapy that Peter will need. Just like we learned during VBS, “Jesus Gives us the Power to Help Others (A-Ha!)”! Our offering total this year was $5,460.76.
Continue to pray for Peter. He is flying to Nigeria on August 3rd and will be having surgery the following day on August 4th. As soon as we have news, pictures or video of Peter, we will post them on the blog.
