We have just received word from one of our missionaries that an Ebola outbreak has been confirmed just outside their city in Bundibugyo. Following is the email that we have just received in our office today:
Doug and I after much prayer write to you about the situation we are faced with here. Over the mountains from us, in a town called Bundibugyo, an Ebola outbreak has been confirmed- as of Friday, November 30th. The town is not many miles from our home town of Fort Portal. But the road condition is bad, and takes 3+ hours to drive one way. However the only road leading in or out of this town goes through Fort Portal.
The World Health Organization, CDC (Center for disease control), Red Cross and various other organizations have already landed in the town and are helping to contain the situation. There are also several American missionary doctors that live there that are helping treat the victims of this virus.
As of yesterday, the count for the infected was at 93, and the count of deaths was at 22. At this point the percentage of the death rate is at 43%. This is a new strain, and has much milder symptoms then the previous 3 strains that hit Africa. The most common symptoms are head ache, diarrhea, fever and rash.
We do NOT write to you to in-sue panic or worry, we write that you may join together with us in taking this to the throne room of God. At this point, there are rumors that the Ebola virus has spread to Fort Portal, but there have been NO confirmed cases. All those that live in Fort Portal are at minor risk at this point in time. We are taking precautions and seeking God in this matter- we know He will lead us and guide us every step of the way and through every situation we are faced with.
A great source of information can also be read on Jennifer Myrhe’s blog- Jennifer and her husband Scott are two of the American missionary doctors that live and work in Bundibugyoand are still there treating patients. Jennifer has been updating this blog daily with very helpful, factual information on what is going on there at ground Zero.

I write this letter out of desperation, I was laid off from a great paying job in April and I am the provider for 7 people. I’m on EI at the moment and I have no other source of income, I have prescription bills of around 1500 per month for me as I suffer from chronic pain possibly from cancer or a cyst on a nerve ending in my abdomen area. I also pay around 400 dollars for my daughter as two of my daughters were victims of sexual abuse from their biological mother and a couple of men, this is still in the investigation stage, one of my daughters is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and was hospitalized for 7 weeks. This has put a great strain on our family where I can only turn to the Lord because it was such an evil issue to arise. I have had some success in a few interviews and then I do not get the call back.
I’m not writing for handouts but we are in debt for rent 3000 dollars and 700 dollars for medications and we need food desperately, I ask that all of you and any churches you could forward this to please pray for us as we need help badly, I do not qualify for social assistance and I have sponsored my wife from another country so we cannot receive government assistance because of that anyways. I ask that you pray for my depression because of the chronic pain and heavy analgesics Im taking and the heavy tranquilizers my daughter takes because of the molestations. I’m starting to suffer night terrors because of all the burdens laid on my shoulders.
I am at the end of my rope and unless a miracle happens and my bills are paid and I can get back into the workforce I am worried about my future as I feel like I failed my children someway.
If you would like more info I have included my telephone number on the bottom, just so you know I’m not trying to get money through a gimmick or scam. PLEASE PRAY for restoration and financial help for my family
In Christ
