From Brantly's bed in an isolation ward — where he and Samaritan's Purse colleague Nancy Writebol are both being treated for Ebola symptoms — the Texas physician sent this message back to his friends at JPS:
"I'm praying fervently that God will help me survive this disease. Please continue to pray along with me and pray for my friend Nancy who is also very sick, and for the doctors who are taking care of us. Thank you all so much. Peace, Kent."
