We regret this week there is no teaching release due to an injury that PD sustained. Social Media updates are shared below – thank you for continuing to keep PD in your prayers.
Last week, we released a teaching on navigating trial and suffering. Two days later, PD sustained an unexpected injury to his middle ear. The timing of this was noteworthy. We believe the Father is shining a light on that teaching – and we are resharing it today for you below – followed by updates on PD’s health.
Health Update 1 (January 5):
Hi everyone, Christina here. I’m here to ask for prayer for PD.
We are currently visiting with PD’s family, and yesterday while at the ocean, an unexpected wave crashed into PD’s ear with strong force. This immediately caused a number of concerning symptoms including double-vision, slurred speech, extreme dizziness with vomiting, some of these symptoms continuing till today.
We found out this morning that there is some damage to his inner ear due to the force of the water, and he is currently on bed-rest for the next week while he recovers. Please pray for complete healing and restoration of his ear, that there be no damage to his hearing, and also for shalom to his body and mind.
Thank you all so much
-Christina
Health Update 2 (January 7):
Hi all, Christina here again with an update and then a message from PD below:
On Sunday, PD received a serious injury to his inner ear membrane that was perforated, causing inner ear fluid leakage. The leakage of this fluid is what caused the frightening symptoms of blurred and double vision, vomiting, slurred speech, extreme dizziness and hearing concerns.
Praise the Lord PD is on the mend and doing better each day, but the doctor says he must keep laying still for the rest of the week as his inner ear heals, and to be likewise careful for a few weeks onward.
We have been overwhelmed by everyone’s prayers, support, and encouragement these last few days, we feel so loved. Your prayers have made an incredible impact, in fact, the doctor was surprised at how much better PD is doing, as an injury like this can sometimes take months. Glory to the Father!
From PD:
Hi everyone. Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and shining your light of Yeshua to me in this time. Your prayers are working, and there is progress. I hope to give an update video next week. Since I am on bedrest, there won’t be a Bible teaching this week, I am sorry about that. For now, we are resharing last week’s video on navigating suffering and trial as believers.
Shabbat shalom! We pray blessings to you this week and look forward to seeing you in the next video!

Hi PD and Christina, this is the first I’ve heard about this. I’m sorry that you have to go through this. Sounds like you’re experiencing what you just preached about suffering. Yes, we will definitely keep you in prayer as we did not know, but we’re so glad you’re doing better. It’s great that they were able to figure out what was wrong. Wow! Makes you wonder about surfers and people who are in the ocean all the time. Are ear plugs for these sports a thing. That way I guess the inner ear would be more protected.
the Demelo family are in prayer for PD’s fast recovery, May Adonai bless you and keep you!

PD and Christina, William here. I’ve got your back Brother, as I said I always would – praying for you daily. Wow, I have been the health field a good long while, never hear of anything quite like that happening. But Abba nd His Son have your back also Brother, I’ve asked them to heal you soon as I know many others are. Godspeed Brother, and drink some ginger tea if you get any nausea or dizziness. Steep it long and squeeze the tea bag out good, or takes some extract capsules otherwise. That will help you a lot, I promise. Blessings of Yah guys, William
Hi PD and Christina,
Thank you for sharing your situation. I am praying for you and your family. Crazy that this all came in the form of a wave. May Abba turn the trial around for His glory. I am praying for you: strength, joy in the Lord, shalom and patience in this situation right now. Amen.
Maybe you’re already familiar with it, but in case you are not, perhaps
Divers Alert Network (DAN) Southern Africa can be of value for you, as they have teams of diving doctors and specialists with resources who can offer helpful practical insights for recovery in your situation. Dr Frans Cronjé (the founder) is a wonderful brother in Christ who has vast experience in things that are diving and marine emergency related and share his expertise on the youtube DAN channel. Might be worth to check out.

Hi PD and Christina
You are definitely in our prayers for a speedy recovery.
We have experienced something similar in the past as going through trials after just having a teaching about it.
Our Father works in mysterious ways.
Wishing you two the best and
may Yah bless you and keep you,
may Yah make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you,
may Yah lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.
We watch and listen to your teachings every Shabbat from Ontario Canada!
