Baby Jonah with Jesus
For several months we have been following the Silverberg family, fellow BMM missionaries serving in the Bronx, NY, as they fight for the life of their newborn son, Jonah. Last Wednesday, little Jonah lost his battle and entered the presence of Jesus.
Having two young sons of my own, I cannot imagine the devastation felt by these parents--faithful servants of Christ in one of the most difficult mission field in the world. And this after a roller coaster of emotional ups and downs as the doctors fought to save little Jonah's life. I know that the readers of this blog will lift this family up in your prayers, crying out to God for mercy, comfort, and demonstrations of His sovereign goodness in their lives.
The funeral will be at 10 am Saturday morning at their church in the Bronx.

My ladies bible study at my senior housing complex have been praying for this family. He will be missed but is happy in his new heavenly home.

I am sorry but he is whole now. I have been praying for him a long time. I learned about him from the Coming's. You are in my prayers.
