JOSÉ'S ANSWER TO PRAYER

José and his new portable oxygen machine.
José has problems breathing and is in constant need of oxygen.  Until recently he was anchored to his house with a four foot oxygen tank.  The tank which lasted him about one week, had to be taken on a bus to nearby Rio Bravo to be refilled.  But last week José received a big answer to prayer - he was given a portable oxygen machine to replace the enormous tank he'd used for years.  And now he can once again go to church.

Scott and DiAnna brought the answer to Jose's prayer!
Scott and DiAnna, founders of Life on the Border, flew from their home in Minneapolis to bring José this life giving machine.  They also brought José and Lupita their prescription medicines and a blood pressure monitor.  Scott, who is a physician, reviewed José's ex rays and advised him on the best way to treat the problem in his lungs.  He also checked his blood pressure and said it was good.

Jose's old oxygen tank was very heavy.

Doctor Scott checked Jose's blood pressure with their new monitor.
José and Lupita were overcome with emotion when they were presented with so much medical assistance.  Scott and DiAnna received warm hugs and words of gratitude from the happy couple.

Scott went outside and held Jose's ex rays up to the sky so he could properly diagnose his condition.
DiAnna instructed Jose on the use of the oxygen machine while Pastor Gerardo watched.
Many thanks go to everyone who made this gift of oxygen possible.  And special thanks to Doctor Scott and DiAnna who took time from their busy lives to minister to José and Lupita in Nuevo Progreso, Mexico.
