June 9, 2009 Update on Rolland's Health

We want to thank all of our family and friends around the world for your love and prayers for Rolland and all of us over the past many months. Rolland has been living in Pemba and receiving care from some amazing youth who have come to us over the years from the streets and many missionaries who have all pitched in with meals and hugs and help of all kinds. Rolland has truly been honored by so many who have walked with us at one time or another over the years. He has been spending his days resting and has truly been enjoying praying for many, watching Holy Spirit touch many and minister to hearts.

Medically speaking, we still face some major challenges in the days ahead. Tests conducted by the physicians have reported minor damage to cells within the brain believed to have been caused by two serious bouts with malaria and perhaps a series of small strokes. After much prayer, we have decided to take Rolland to a clinic in Germany that specializes in a blend of intense prayer and medical and nutritional remedies. These friends are a very loving and caring team who are praying for wisdom from Holy Spirit. They truly believe we will see a very good recovery. At present, Rolland's physical suffering is intense, and so we covet your prayers.

Many of our dear friends have been asking us how they can help cover Rolland’s growing medical costs. We are greatly touched by these expressions of love and offers of support. Nothing is impossible with Jesus! We have set up a fund within Iris for those who wish to give specifically for Rolland’s care and recovery, which has been titled “Iris Medical Mercy Fund”. We will keep you updates on the progress we are making from time to time! Rolland and I remain continually encouraged by the lives of the thousands upon thousands of laid down lovers pouring out continually to Jesus and to the poor!

Love in Jesus,

Rolland and Heidi Baker
