On March 17, retired missionary, Gerrit Buining, suffered a stroke. It was an “evolving” event that, after 48 hours or so, left him severely weakened on his right side. He is able to talk and his mind is unchanged; however, he is unable to walk unassisted and has lost the use of his right hand. He is currently in the care of his daughter in St. Louis and showing improvement.
“Gerry” and his late wife Margrit served as missionaries to the Jews with Baptist Mid-Missions in the Des Moines area.
