Chances are the Ebola outbreak that is now growing in West Africa is unlikely to spread to America or other western countries. Still, we need to be concerned.

The number of people that have contracted the deadly disease since late last winter is fast approaching 900. There is no known cure for the virus.

More doctors and nurse volunteers are needed, and humanitarian relief organizations like Operation Blessing, Samaritan's Purse, and Doctors Without Borders need our financial contributions if they are to do what they can to help prevent this disease from spreading.

Also, the people of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leon need our prayers!

Watch my interview with Dr. Lance Plyler, Medical Team Director for Samaritan's Purse to learn more about this fatal disease and why it is spreading.
