Rev. Derek Li //  Moses’ Prayer Letter 12

(20221019 English version)

THANKSGIVING :

1. Blessings From All Five Continents
We are grateful for the kindness and prayers of friends and believers from all five continents (Asia, America, Oceania, Europe, and Africa) for Moses.

2. Birthday Wishes Support
Thank you to those who supported Moses’s birthday. Moses saw his birthday billboards, all the blessing messages from the Stillhouse exhibition in Causeway Bay and how the public from all walks of life made a strong connection to his upbringing and love in his life.

3. Slight Muscle Awakening
Praise God for the edema of the cervical spinal nerves to continue to show signs of subsidence. Some muscles in the arms also show a slight awakening.

4. Medical Expert Team
The medical expert team deserves recognition for their intensive treatment and utmost care for Moses, and for partnering with us to resolve barriers one after another. This has led Moses to develop trust and confidence towards their medical treatment plan.
 
PRAYER REQUESTS:

Moses’Current Health Condition 

1. Swallowing Reflex Nerve
Due to the swallowing reflex nerves not fully recovered, Moses unconsciously swallows water and liquids from his vocal cords to his lungs, causing him with aspiration pneumonia and mild fever. (To clarify, the environment has also affected his body temperature most of the time.)

2. The Struggle of Removing the Tracheostomy
The tracheostomy is scheduled to be taken out next week, but the concern is if pneumonia occurs and becomes unstable after the removal of the tracheostomy, the previous steps will be reversed immediately. Let us keep praying earnestly for Moses at this crucial time.
 
3. 24 Hours Resting on the Pillow
A new transition is currently taking place after removing the cervical collar last week. The surgical area where Moses was operated on has long contact with the pillow that he rests his head on to support his head and neck. His head is resting on the pillow 24/7. One can imagine how difficult that might be, let alone Moses with his injury!

Moses’Parents 

1. Mo’s Parents Placing Themselves in Moses’ Shoes
a. There are times when we would lay flat like in Moses' position, but it becomes intolerable after a short while, it makes us want to change our heads to a different direction. We can relate to how difficult it must be for Moses…
b. Whenever young adults appear in front of me, I subconsciously fix my gaze on C3 and C4 regions of their necks, and say to myself, “Moses, this is where you were injured. May the Lord have mercy on you.”
 
2. 11 Weeks of “Alternative Experience” 
In my 40 years as a pastor and professor, I have never encountered the media and business fields, let alone the entertainment industry's culture. My perspective was broadened through Moses’ incident, and I gained a better understanding of what Moses has to face on a regular basis.
