Revelation 15:8 - And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) - A retrofitted private jet is making its way to the United States on Friday with two Americans who have been infected with the Ebola virus in West Africa. Both individuals are under emergency medical evacuation orders.
Fort Worth doctor Kent Brantly was a member of Southside Church of Christ in Fort Worth before moving to Africa. The congregation has kept in touch with him and his family. They are now praying for his healing.
The private plane was sent to Liberia to pick up Brantly and another aid worker who have been diagnosed with Ebola. They are in grave condition, but said to be stable. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention retrofitted a business jet with an isolation pod and medical equipment, in an attempt to retrieve the two Americans and bring them back to the U.S. for aggressive treatment.
At least one of the patients will be taken to a highly secured section of Emory University Hospital, near the CDC’s headquarters. The facility has an isolation unit which is equipped to deal with this type of infection. Hospital officials will not confirm when that patient is scheduled to arrive.
A spokesperson for the CDC said that she was not aware of any Ebola patient being treated in the U.S. before.
Brantly is an Abilene Christian University alum. “Kent’s the kind of guy who would weigh the benefits versus the risks and try to take himself out of the equation,” said university official Gary Green. “He’d be considering ‘What do I bring to the table? Is it going to be so much that the risk is worth it, because I can benefit so many people.’ And that’s just the way he is. That’s the kind of person he is in his heart.”
“We need more people like that,” added school official Chris Flanders. “Maybe this situation here can serve to illuminate opportunities that exist all around us, to step out of our comfort zones and, sometimes, to even step into situations of great danger in order to bless other people. That’s what his example is, it seems to me, is teaching all of us.”
In a statement, Brantly’s wife said that she and their children — ages 3 and 5 — are in Texas and have shown no symptoms of the disease.
