Just a quick update as we continue preparations for our trip.  We are beginning to realize that our time here in the States is drawing to a quick close and there seems as though there are more things to be done than we have time for.  The upcoming holidays just add to the numerous demands on our time.  Our most urgent need and one we need prayer for is finding caretakers for our 2 dogs, 3 cats and 1 ferret (yes, ferret).  My employer, Aurora Healthcare, has donated a nice microscope that we will be bringing along for the clinic which will help in diagnosing malaria and other parasitic illnesses and infectious diseases.  We also want to thank all of you who have given gifts of time, money and other resources to our ministry.  We trust God will multiply His blessings many times over through this generosity.  Again, our deepest thanks.  

 

Blessings,

Scott and Kathi Derse and family
