AFTER two months of asking, seeking and knocking, Bataa finally raised all that he needs for the liver transplant surgery.
Even as I'm typing this blog entry, his sister, Chuka, is preparing to board a flight from Ulaanbaatar to be in Singapore this weekend. The surgery will be at Gleneagle's Hospital.
Many answered prayers:
- for a start, good health and high spirit for both donor (Bataa) and patient (Chuka)
- more than $226,000 raised miraculously - involving 5,000 persons from 40 countries who gave their widow's mites, personal savings and hard-earned cash sacrificially; and the JC Trust Fund that donated $86,000 for the operation
- strong encouragement from Bataa's cell group at church
- support from the faculty and students at EAST - who prayed, gave, and allowed him time and space from his studies and responsibilities with the Student Council to prepare for the surgery
Through the process, Bataa felt he "truly sensed and enjoyed" the care and love of God and His Body. He went through many ups and downs mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually but the Lord's grace pulled him through.
