Missionary Lemma loses wife

Ato Lemma with his wife Ferihiowt and their two sons pose with Ababa (bottom far left), Negash (bottom far right) Jon (top left) and JB (top right) in January 2006.

Ferihiowt, Ato Lemma's wife, died this morning in the hospital in Addis Abeba. She was expecting a baby and complications developed that eventually led to their deaths.

In January Ferihiowt was healthy and excited about a vision to start medical clinics in the countryside for poverty stricken villagers. Her health declined rapidly in recent days.

Please pray for Lemma and his two boys as they deal with the loss of wife and mother.
