urgent prayer request: Ben in Kenya

Dear friends,
please be praying for a young man (age 20) named Ben. He is a missionary kid who graduated in 2006 from Rift Valley Academy in Kenya. Our friends were his dorm parents, and have written asking for prayer. His parents/mission are trying to med-evac him to South Africa-- he needs heart surgery and they don't think he could make it to the States... please pray.

Ben had open heart surgery because of a strep infection that went bad in the fall of 2005. He's done amazingly well since that time, an athlete playing soccer for a college in the states. He came out for his brother's graduation and to see his family and alumni friends about two weeks ago. But he got an infection in his heart and because of that, he has had a stroke.

The infection seems to be spreading, and his condition is increasingly unstable.
>From Ben's grandfather: "Despite the condition of Ben and the stress on the family, we continue to trust God. We know that God's eye is still on the sparrow and Ben is immensely more valuable to Him. Jesus is totally trustworthy and whatever the outcome, He will be there with grace and comfort. We continue to believe that in HIs perfect will Ben can be healed, but we also want what will bring Him glory and honor. We find that at such a time as this, there is tremendous comfort in knowing Ben is in the hands of His loving and all-powerful God."
