Raju Ram Ekka went to be with the Lord on August 8, 2008. Raju, 30, was a GFA missionary in Chhattisgarh, India. He was married and had three children. As a Bible college student he spent time ministering on the field since July. But, when he was diagnosed with malaria, he went home for treatment. As his illness progressed, he was admitted to a nearby hospital. The malaria, however, had affected his brain and the doctors were unable save him.

Please pray for comfort and peace for his grieving family. Also be in prayer that their faith will increase during this difficult time.
