Our angel, Jesper Uaje

Dear Friends,
our 4 year old friend Jesper Uaje who was staying in Erap City passed away yesterday morning. Jesper was diagnosed with Ependaymomma brain tumor a couple of years ago. Jesper was an active baby but lost his sight around the age of 2 years and eventually his hearing. He also could not walk eventually. His grandma Norma who was seeing to all his needs was able to get help from a charity organization and Jesper eventually went for treatment at the Children's Hospital this year.

He underwent an operation recently and was able to hear again. However, he slipped into a coma some time after. As he has returned home to God our Father, we know that this baby is free from the terrible pain attacks he used to suffer. May he look down on us and watch over us like a little angel. Let's also lift up Norma in our prayers. She had such a devoted and unwavering love and cared for him every moment in his time of need. May the Lord strengthen her and be her comfort as she griefs the loss of her beloved grandson.

I feel sad that he has passed away. Just a couple of days ago someone gave us money to buy presents for the kids during our mission in December. The first child I thought of was Jesper. I had hoped to see him this December. But I know that God has his reasons and knows what is best for his beloved. Goodbye Jesper. Thank you for your beautiful smile. Even though you never saw us or heard our voices, we'll always remember you :)
