^ PRAYER FOCUS: MALAWI

Maureen Stevenson is settling back into her work at the David Gordon Memorial Hospital (DGMH) in Livingstonia following mid-term break. Dr Mbaya left the hospital on 10^th June, leaving Maureen as the sole doctor at the hospital. She has help from two clinical officers and another one hopes to come to DGMH soon. Pray for Maureen and the staff at the hospital, as they seek to manage a heavy workload. Give thanks for the clinical officer who wants to come to the hospital but there is a pressing need for more staff, especially for another doctor; pray that these needs will soon be met.
