A Christian missionary organization is asking for prayers for an American missionary doctor and his family after he was officially confirmed as being infected with Ebola.
It comes during a deadly new Ebola outbreak in central Africa where more than 500 suspected cases and over 131 suspected deaths are reported so far in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Uganda.
Dr. Peter Stafford and his family are with a Christian medical missions organization called Serge, operating in the DRC. The doctor and his family are now in Germany, where he’s receiving treatment.

Two additional physicians were potentially exposed — Dr. Rebekah Stafford and Dr. Patrick LaRochelle — but they are asymptomatic and are following established quarantine and monitoring protocols.
“Our hearts are with the Stafford family and with the Congolese communities facing this outbreak,” said Matt Allison, Executive Director of Serge. “Peter and Rebekah have faithfully served vulnerable communities in Nyankunde with extraordinary compassion and courage.”
