18 Feb Billy Simbo’s Mother Undergoes Surgery

Marie Simbo, mother of Billy Simbo, had her leg amputated just below the knee as the result of an infection. The operation occurred in Freetown, Sierra Leone.

Billy Simbo (right), Bishop of Sierra Leone Conference, writes, “She is in good spirits. In fact, they have asked us to leave the room because she is too busy talking to each person who comes in instead of going to sleep. She went into surgery singing praises and came out rejoicing in the Lord for making it possible for her to have the surgery done.

“Our mother has always been a woman of great faith and an encourager to us and many others. The only shock is that this happened over a period of one week.”

On January 3, Bishop Simbo’s brother, Ansu, passed away in Spain, where he has been living and working for several years. His body is being returned to Sierra Leone for the funeral on Monday, Feb. 22.
