Sopherak’s Heart Surgery

Heart_Surgery_007

We believe in miracles but when they don’t happen, we do what we can. I sent out an “Urgent Appeal” on Facebook for a very anointed young man, Soperak, who was working at the rice farm. He is an excellent preacher and a hard worker, but when he would work hard he would faint. He grew up in a remote home and he was regarded as a “weak child” and nothing special was done. I brought him to Phnom Penh to see a cardiologist and the prognosis was grim. The doctors found a huge hole in his heart and just normal physical activity drove his heart rate to 180 beats per minute. We prayed and he was still sick so we applied for surgery. It was complicated and all kinds of problems arose, one of the biggest being $10,000 USD in estimated expenses. You guys came through with the money, the surgery finally took place, and Soperak is a totally different young man. He has strength and feels he can do anything, even though he has lost close to 20 pounds. Our biggest problem is to keep him from overdoing it during his recovery time.
