There is a phrase used here amongst the missionaries-"WAWA" which stands for "West Africa Wins Again." You use it at times when someone gets malaria, the rolling power outage happens when you were supposed to speak at church, when your desert recipe doesn't turn out just right because you couldn't get all the ingredients that you needed. You get the point.
Well, this is not one of those cases. One of the men who was suffering from necrotizing fasciitis mentioned in a previous blog is pictured above. In the picture he is getting a skin graft. Thanks to bed rest, antibiotics, removing dying tissue, the dedication of good doctors and nurses, West Africa does not win. Hope wins. Opportunity wins. The chance to say "I do this because Jesus loves you" wins again. The earth is not some cold dead place, Nalerigu is not some cold dead place. It is a place brimming with life from the only source that is truly life. Get you some of that necrotizing fasciitis.
