Operation Amina
Over 10 years ago, a military family, the Phillips, attended Trinity Bible Church with us. Our families became good friends, and we enjoyed every bit of the three years they were stationed here. After three years the Marines moved them to different assignments and states until Colonel Phillips retired at Camp Lejuene, NC. Although no longer in the Marines, they now have a son and sons-in-law who are currently military officers.
Major Kevin Jarrard, a part of their extended family, is currently serving in Iraq. While there, he met a 3 year old girl named Amina. Amina has a terminal heart condition. Kevin was able to find a hospital in Nebraska that is willing to perform the operation and is now working on gathering teams, military and civilian, to take Amina to the Jordanian border and then travel with her to Nebraska.
Please pray for Kevin and his friends, family, and colleagues as they try to save Amina’s life. Kevin and his family are believers and please pray that their testimony and love for Christ will be evident to all they interact with as they try to save this little girl. They have started a blog to give updates and information of their progress. The blog address is www.operationamina.blogspot.com.
