The latest news from Perth
At the beginning of yesterday we were delighted to hear that Erin Cothran had arrived in Johannesburg by the air evacuation medical jet. She is in a much better condition in hospital but still needing surgery. She is being visited by our YWAM Staff in South Africa.
Dagmar Sippel has also been flown to South Africa by air evacuation, and is in the same hospital as Erin. We have been advised that her condition is stable (vital signs are good) but her condition overall is still critical. At present we have 2 of our staff flying to South Africa to be with Erin and Dagmar.
We were able to air vac four girls to Accra, Ghana, and they are receiving medical treatment. One girl has already had major surgery. The facilities are good and our YWAM Staff in Accra are in touch. We are in regular contact with the Doctors and passing this information onto family. At present we have 1 person flying to Ghana to be with these girls.
The two bodies of Brianna and Delphine have been moved to Lagos for transportation to USA and Tahiti. At present we have 3 people flying to Nigeria to help with this, and to also be with the remaining 6 girls from the team.
We have put a plan in motion to get those remaining in Nigeria (6 girls) and the 4 girls in Accra either back home to Australia, or to their respective nations.
We are having a memorial service here at the base on Thursday beginning at 8:30am for the deceased girls.
Could you please continue to pray:
- Pray that God helps those who have been grieving to be comforted and for understanding.
- Pray for the families of both fatalities as they prepare for their deceased daughters/ sisters arrival.
- Please continue to pray for Dagmar whose condition is still critical (still unconscious I believe).
- Please pray for the 4 girls in Ghana that they would continue to recover and be well enough to travel
- Please pray for all the girls as they come to terms with the shock/trauma of the accident and dealing with the death of 2 close friends.
- Please pray for Erin in Johannesburg who is needing surgery
- Please pray for the 4 girls in Ghana that they would continue to recover and be well enough to travel
- Please pray for all the girls as they come to terms with the shock/ trauma of the accident and dealing with the death of 2 close friends.
Thank you for your prayers – it has turned every situation around, we believe, and God is being glorified.
