Sentani, Papua, the town where Chase lives was recently inundated with incredible flooding. Many houses were swept away. Other homes were filled with mud. Chase was helping a neighbor dig our from this flooding when the snake bit him. Chase is married to Kelli, and they have three wonderful boys.
This is the last update from Kelli,
"Hey guys! Thank you for praying! We didn't get much sleep at all and it's now 6:41am. We are waiting on permission for the evac plane to land here on island. MAF will fly us to the southern part of the island and their plane will meet us and take us from there. They will have a doc and nurse on board, so our nurses will come on back to Sentani once we leave. We'll be going to Mater Private Hospital in Brisbane. It's actually about 30 minutes from some friends of ours! Only God could do that!!!"
I'll keep y'all updated as I get word. I work with Chase and Kelli and last year had their oldest son in my class.
Prayers being said, for Chase.
Joining with you all in prayer.
