Missionaries Japan Mirial Gainer Home Away From Home
Three times may be the charm, but it'll be the fourth time for me to be admitted to Toyooka Daiichi Hospital. August 4th I'll once again become an in-patient in the place that's begun to feel like home. I've already been there as an outpatient 3 or 4 times since returning to Japan. It was good to see many of the staff and be welcomed by them. They are looking forward to my stay and renewing our relationships.
Please pray for Dr Ban and Dr Harii as they remove more of my left ear where more basil cell carcinoma has been found. Then they'll do reconstructive surgery on it. A place that appears to be a melanoma has been found on my back that they plan to remove at the same time.
Please pray also for this 'hospital ministry' as I witness to staff and patients during my hospitalization.
