Just an update on our latest PET recipient, Ditshupo Mandafu. To our surprise and joy, last Sunday he showed up at Open Baptist Church for the 8am service. He got there in his new PET and was very thankful to have it. The only problem he has been having was that his backside was getting a little sore from continually sitting in the PET. The Lord does provide: he connected with one of the ushers, Bryson, who works in the "prosthetics and orthodics" department at Princess Marina Hospital. He has promised to fit him with a specially made orthopedic cushion to help alleviate this problem. We are very thankful that he is making use of his new transportation and especially that he visited the Church! We are also thankful to Bryson for his demonstration of Christian love. Quite often when Jeff is driving to work, he sees Ditshupo sitting outside Choppies (similar to 7-Eleven) selling phone cards. We continually pray that the PET will allow him to have a changed life and it will help draw him nearer to our Lord, Jesus Christ!
