Thanks to everyone who is praying for Josh (this is his mom again.)
Josh is taking quinine for the malaria. It is a strong drug with serious side effects (headaches, ringing ears, some delusions...) . But as long as Josh can continue to eat and drink, he should survive taking the medicine as it kills the malaria. He will be taking it through Thursday, May 16th,and then it stays at a high level in his body another 3-4 days after that. So please pray that God would heal Josh's body and that he will continue to be able to eat and drink. Also, this is a mental battle for Josh, as he doesn't have enough energy to do much and the time passes slowly.
The team decided to put up just the base of the radio tower without Josh, but the Unimog had mechanical troubles so they had to return. It has been a real spiritual battle trying to put up the radio tower in this particular village, as it is a spiritually dark place. The enemy doesn't want the Good News of Jesus to be spread there, and he is disrupting the team to stop it (with Josh's malaria and the unimog breaking down.)
So please keep praying! To quote Josh, "When we in America stop praying, he can feel it!"
Thanks so much.
