Emergency

I received the following email this morning from Williamsons [Jason & Kellies new partners]:

We’d like to ask you to pray for our partners Jason and Kellie Knapp who’ve just had to be flown to Australia for medical attention (for him)… here’s an excerpt from our other partners [Chad & Janeene] who were with him when it happened:

Here’s what we know to date: Jason returned from an overnight trip to the river with his son and some friends this past weekend, and spent the rest of the weekend and early part of this week with intermittent high fevers, shakes and chills, and symptoms of malaria (which he contracted back in Madang—malaria just stays in the system and pops up at various times). Jason thought that he was improving by Tuesday. Then, that night he awoke from a dead sleep at midnight with chest pain. The pain kept him awake the rest of the night. By morning, after consulting on the radio with nurses Jason and Kellie and the kids all flew out on our mission’s plane to our base in Lapilo, where he could get the proper meds that the nurses felt might help him. While there, Jason had an EKG, and a cardiologist in Australia was going to be looking at test results.

Early this morning, Jason (Knapp) began experiencing chest pains once again. With no doctor available at this time, the nurses felt like Jason needed to have a doctor in Cairns, Australia look at him. So at 7 this morning, Jason and his family were on a plane to Australia.

Thanks for praying and trusting the Lord with us, that this will be something minor and treatable. We’ll update you as soon as we hear something more.

Your hands & feet,
Jason & Nisae Williamson,
Kadynn, Judah & Eden
