Please Pray For Marion Grace Smith--daughter of Dan and Rose Smith
I, Greg Morgan, am currently visiting in Budapest, Hungary. This past weekend I had the pleasure of visiting dear American missionary friends in a beautiful town about 45 minutes outside of Budapest.
My friends are Dan and Rose Smith. Some of our Hugh's News readers will remember them I'm sure.
A couple of days after my weekend visit, Dan and Rose's daughter, Marion Grace, had an accident while cooking in Mississippi. As she was dumping grease from a skillet in her back yard, the wind blew and some of the grease hit her hands, feet, and finally her face. She suffered second and third degree burns on her hands and feet and first degree burns on her face. Thankfully, her cousin was next door. He was able to drive Marion to the hospital, and the hospital sent her to the burn center in Jackson, Mississippi.
Marion just completed her freshman year in college. Although the Smith's have health insurance in Hungary, they do not have insurance in the states. I am sure the surgery was quite costly.
Marion is out of the burn center and recovering in her aunt's house.
Please pray for Marion's recovery. Pray that she will not have any scars. Also, pray for Rose's airfare and safe traveling.
We know that God is able!
Thank you, and God bless you,
Greg Morgan

[Editor's Comment: Our son, Greg, is visiting in Budapest, Hungary for three and one half weeks. He has been friends with Dan and Rose Smith since the days he was a missionary to Budapest. Dan and Rose Smith were formerly with the IPHC World Missions Ministries Division. They had a wonderful ministry as I recall in Debrecen, Hungary.
Meanwhile, in the providence of God they are now missionaries with the Church of God, our sister Pentecostal denomination, in Cleveland, Tennessee.
Dan Rose is not sure at this time how much this hospital bill and surgery will cost. It could be in the neighborhood of $50,000.
Greg has a heart of compassion and has the gift of mercy. I know he has given already by his credit card to the World Missions Department of the Church of God. Melvine and I have given as well via our personal credit card. The Bible teaches that leadership gives first. The Apostle Paul shared with the Ephesian elders his Biblical theology of giving based on what Jesus taught, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35). He mentioned that he taught how we should support the weak, or those in special need.
I would like to encourage you to consider giving to this special need. What if Marion Grace Smith were your daughter or granddaughter?
Let us give generously to help Dan and Rose Smith with this special medical expenditure. Of course, Rose had the expense of purchasing an airline ticket from Budapest, Hungary to Mississippi.
Here's how you can give by check or via your Credit Card through the Church of God World Missioins Department:
