The Flog – The Fabry Log

On the 6-11 program, Jon Gauger talked about his travels on a Mercy Ship, bringing help and hope to many who have unresolved medical problems. All photos contained here are used with the permission of Mercy Ships.

Here is the man with the goiter Jon spoke about last week. This is what he looked like before the surgery.

Imagine living every day with something the size of a grapefruit on the side of your neck!


Now, here's the surgery Jon witnessed and the actual growth that was removed from this man. Again, this is not for the squeamish because you see the actual surgical tools, etc.




Now, take a look at the man after the surgery. We pray God will bless him not only with health, but a fresh look at the love of Christ.



One other person I have to tell you about is the little girl Jon mentioned on the broadcast. Parasites are a huge problem in Africa and this young girl had worms growing inside her for quite some time. After fasting to reduce their size, here's a picture of what they were able to take from her.

And also a picture of Jon with the girl and her mother. Thanks to Mr. Gauger for his excellent reportage and photography!
