My Interview With Daphne Keys/FPI …
Author: Daniel Emig
I and we seek to help the poorest of the poor become sustaining and human in the truest-fullest sense. Using location-based relationships and resources, and these are the catalyst of change discovered and embraced. Via our mentoring on, and access to, water, food, wellness (health), education, and finances(micro-enterprise); people are freed to live the lives they were meant to live.

 Dearest one … Recently I was having a conversation with friends, concerning our lives, and specifically how the GOD allows our lives to be moved in very different directions than we expected. In every case, it landed on a pivot of life He ordained; many times, via our reality of “you have been crushed … you have been pulverized“. It reminded me of another WEB site of a Japanese artist who follows Jesus, who said those same words … “you have been crushed … you have been pulverized“. https://makotofujimura.com/ I was thrown back into these conversations, to my/our own time three years ago. Our FaceBook link describes three crucial days of determinations, and GOD’s infinite grace interventions. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/2ZTibDiwaKEvSa5j/  We continue all due diligence in ministry and support of those in the countries and ministries we serve. Please pray for our team heading out. While I’m not on this trip, it has been a joy to help get them ready for their times there, serving leaders, refugees in each country, and the work in all lives involved in these trips. As you know via the news, this is a rather tense time in some parts of the world.  A country is hosting a special friend and colleague on this trip, in Charlie. Charlie is a credentialed international lawyer who focuses on human rights. He is a strong leader. His ability to work within U.N. circles, allows him to also work in spheres of academia, governments, and social justice. He is meeting and setting up future times with key officials. ——————————        Nora and I thank you for being so deeply embedded and here with us in this journey of life with GOD, who has gifted us all of this journey within His journey … our story within His story … our paths within His path … our faith-plans within His plan! “Trust in GOD with all your heart, … ”  &  Daniel and Nora |
3-Year Anniversary of: “pull the plug NOT day” !!!
Today is my 3-year anniversary of pull-the plug NOT !!! I am so grateful to be here with you all and celebrate GOD’s infinite goodness, love, patience, healing, and restoration of my life!!! I can honestly say, life has never been better! These 3 Caring Bridge journal entries say a lot about all the ups and downs of those 77 days in ICU and the recovery period afterward. Thanks for your support in prayer through it all!

This is an entry I didn’t think I would have to make. Dan’s body is shutting down. He has pneumonia so his lungs are struggling, his kidneys are shutting down, ischemic intestines and bowels. They are dying. We had to make a decision, surgery to remove the dead bowels or they would kill him. But surgery also could kill him. Or we can do nothing and just make him comfortable and he will die. We have chosen surgery and praying that the fighter that he is will kick in combined with Gods power to heal so he can make it through surgery and heal. As you can imagine, we are all in shock. God had given me the word that “everything will be ok”. I sensed that his meant he would be heathy again. It may still mean that. But at this moment we are staring death in the face. I pray that our gracious and mighty God will heal him in this life. But if he doesn’t, I pray that I would be able to see and sense his loving presence through it all. Thank you for you prayers.

Dan is in the room now after surgery. We stayed with him for 15-20 minutes and are heading home. We’re exhausted. He made it through surgery. It’s the first step. They will go back in and check his intestines in two days and hopefully reconnect his intestines if things look good. He said there comes a point when you can’t take anymore because the body can’t live. Part of the problem is the meds he is on for blood pressure. It causes the heart to squeeze harder so the brain and heart get more blood to stay alive. The consequences are the intestines and kidneys don’t get enough and can begin to shut down. But there isn’t anything else that can be done. He is going on dialysis to help with the kidneys. We’ll keep praying. Only God can continue to sustain him.
The doctor said we need to determine if his heart stops, do we want to shock his heart. He didn’t say why he brought that up and I was too tired and nauseous from a tension headache to think to ask. Thank you for your prayers.

I have been crying since 2:00, that was when I had a talk with the doctor about Dan’s deteriorating condition. His body has shut down. His bowels and intestines are dying, his lungs aren’t working so he’s on a ventilator as high as it goes. His kidneys aren’t functioning so he’s on dialysis. He has pneumonia, Sepsis, and E. Coli. And a dissection in the heart that needs to be repaired. If he would somehow survive, he would require a feeding tube, colostomy, dialysis, and oxygen plus full time medical supervision. I can’t believe this is happening. When am I going to wake up from this dream? Barring a complete miracle we will be taking him off life support in the next couple days. Pray.

“Dr Rudersdorf, cardiologist, just called me. He knows what Dr Dreisman told us and wanted to give us his opinion. Dan has improved a lot over the last 24 hrs. His lungs are getting stronger and vitals better. He thinks that there is nothing he’s facing that he can’t recover from at this time. So we are taking it one day at a time. For now we will not make him comfortable. He is fighting and our God is fighting. We’ll continue to pray for complete healing. ”
He is going into surgery right now. Pray for a miracle with his bowels”
