HeadlineAug 22, 2014

Two American missionaries sickened with Ebola while in Liberia have recovered from the virus and been discharged from a hospital in Georgia. Nancy Writebol was released on Tuesday. Dr. Kent Brantly spoke before he left on Thursday.

Dr. Kent Brantly: “Above all, I am forever thankful to God for sparing my life, and I’m glad for any attention my sickness has attracted to the plight of West Africa in the midst of this epidemic. Please, continue to pray for Liberia and the people of West Africa and encourage those in positions of leadership and influence to do everything possible to bring this Ebola outbreak to an end. Thank you.”
