Dr Rick Sacra, former Wayland resident, physician, Liberian missionary and Ebola survivor, will be preaching at the 9:30am and 11am worship services at Trinitarian Congregational Church (TCC) on Sunday, December 14. Rick returned to Liberia after hearing the news that two of his friends and colleagues, Kent Brantley and Nancy Writebol, were diagnosed with Ebola while serving there. He arrived on August 4th to the country that had been home to him and his family for the better part of two decades, and began providing care for obstetric patients that previously had nowhere to go due to the strain of the Ebola crisis.
Despite extra precautions, Rick developed symptoms on August 29, and three days later was diagnosed with Ebola. He was flown to Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha for treatment, where by God’s grace and the fine care of the physicians there, he recovered from a disease that claims the life of somewhere between 50% and 90% of patients. Rick is now back home in Holden, MA with his wife Debbie and their three sons.
