She is still losing fluid because of the tear in the amniotic sack, but the baby is a good weight, the heartbeat is strong and the baby is developing normally as far as they can tell from the ultrasound. Things are still critical as far as the baby is concerned. However, over the last few days, Dana has stabilized somewhat. That is too early for any reasonable chance of saving the baby if it were to be born now. Workshop sessions included: Theological Reflections for Church Planting, Characteristics of Church Planters, Identifying a Focus Group, Clarifying God’s Vision for a New Church, Developing a Church Planting Team and The Pastor’s Personal and Family Life.Īt 21 weeks into her pregnancy, our daughter Dana’s water broke.

It has served many purposes, and among other things, now provides housing to community nurses being trained to provide basic medical care to the many rural villages essentially lacking in almost any form of health care. Canada House was built with mission dollars provided by Canadian churches in the mid 1990s.
