Des ended up doing a lot of physical work on the Velinculous base in Pambarra, Mozambique, (as we had the manager of the base "Pete" & his 2 little sons suddenly come down with bad Malaria, and was unable to then work in his job, while our guests were there, because of feeling so dizzy and delirious).

Brenda (the boys mother) took both the 2 little boys to the local Hospital to get blood tests done for them, and the report came back, was that they both had serial Malaria. (This strain is a very serious case of the Malaria that affects the brain, and can cause serious brain damage - or even death.)
These boys were only 3 & 4 years old, and they both had massive fever and very dehydrated.
 The doctors advise to the mother was:  to somehow get their boys OUT of Mozambique quickly,  and back to South Africa for medical care in the next 24 hours, as if their condition did not change - then there was a strong possibility that they could both suddenly die.

Des prayed while being up there, for Pete & Brenda's 2 little boys and laid hands on them, and spent the rest of that night staying up with them, bathing them to keep their temperature down, and trying to force fluids into them as they were both so dehydrated.
 It was a LONG and emotional night, knowing in the back of your mind that if God did not come through - then in the morning these little boys could be dead, (and that night the boys mother also came down with Malaria), so now both these boys parents could also do nothing... as they were BOTH down with a strain of Malaria, and that Des had to attend them as well.

About 3am in the morning on the Tuesday morning, Brendan (their youngest son) went into convoltions, and physically STOPPED breathing. Des said that he had never prayed and cried out to God in  such desperation before...  As this little boy was not breathing for at least 4 (four) minutes, tears filled his eyes as he felt so helpless, as he watched this little boy die.

Many things go through your mind at that time & Des said that he remembers questioning God "WHY"?
He said to God  "Why??  Your word says if we pray for the sick - then they will be healed...
why have you left us Lord??    
Des said that God then spoke to him and said..."he had NOT left us, God said to  Des:  to go and place his mouth over the young boy's mouth - and then  BREATHE  LIFE  into the boy's mouth 7 (seven) times,  then this boy would be made whole... Then after that, to SPEAK LIFE over him"!!

Berry (the other guy that went up to Mozambique from JAM with Des) who was a qualified medic,
Des asked him quickly "was he alive - or was he dead, was he breathing"??
Berry said to Des ," it's too late... he has not been breathing now for over 5 (five) minutes".

So Des went and did immediately what God had told him to do, and then IMMEDIATLEY the boy started coughing, and was breathing normally again. ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD.

And within the next hour his temperature had come back to normal.  ALL PRAISE BE TO GOD ALMIGHTY!! The other son did not stop breathing that night, but he still had a high fever and was very delirious.

Later on that next morning they were BOTH up and running about, playing with their little puppy - as though nothing had happened to them. Malaria fever broken & totally gone - Praise GOD!

We thank the Lord for his faithfulness, and for touching these young boys lives.
