​General Lyndon Buckingham has shared an update on his health after two months of recuperation in his home country of New Zealand following a medical incident in Hong Kong in October. “The recovery has gone extremely well,” he writes. “I am feeling strong in body, mind and spirit, and we are energised about the next chapter of our ministry and service.”

Talked with Jason earlier this evening. He is resting and is still quite tired and still a bit of pain. I asked him what he wants you all to be praying for.  He answered: Continued healing and no infections. So please join us in that with him.

​Surgery went well. Took me a LONG time to come out of sedation and recovery but I made it home. I am currently experiencing lots of pain but I am so thankful that my husband is here helping me. Please continue to pray for reduced pain and for complete healing.

Dad. My hero. 

The one who I wanted to be most like when I grew up. A man of God who was the embodiment of what it meant to be a follower of Jesus. Your love, wisdom, and integrity shaped me into the man and officer I am today. You welcomed in Angela and led our wedding ceremony. Your support, encouragement and influence lives on in us and in the lives of Nathan and Serena.

As people from across the USA Western Territory (and the world) have expressed their love and prayers for mom, Craig, Linnea, myself, and our whole family, it is evident the impact your love and ministry has had on others. 

Now that your fight with cancer has finished and you have been Promoted to Glory, we will celebrate a life well lived, share the many stories of great adventures, and funny moments.

I will miss our chats. I will miss your hugs.

I thank the Lord for the blessing it is to be your son and will continue to honor the Lord with my life and calling as you did with yours.

Proverbs 6:20-22

Franklin G. - Jamaica - Samaritans Purse

Today I was in Jamaica at the Samaritan’s Purse Emergency Field Hospital and went to our clean water supply points as well as communities where we are helping families get tarps for their roofs to keep the rain out after Hurricane Melissa. There is still so much suffering and need. People have been without power for 40 days. Every home in Black River was damaged or completely destroyed by Hurricane Melissa. Our tarps are helping keep the rain off families—one man I met was so thankful to have his roof tarped and said it was the first dry night he had spent since the hurricane! I also saw many hurting patients at our field hospital—we have treated over 2,000 so far. They are so grateful that Samaritan’s Purse is there because otherwise they would have no place to go for medical care. 

I thank God for our incredible team serving in Jamaica, and it was good to spend time with them. They have come from all around the world to serve with Samaritan's Purse in Jesus’ Name. Doctors, nurses, logisticians, water specialists, procurement, aviation team members, and more—all working hand-in-glove to bring much needed help in this time of crisis in Jamaica. The news may not be covering it anymore, but the need is still great. Would you join me in praying for the families in Black River who have lost so much and are trying to get back on their feet again?​
