(CNN) -- Even as she prays for her husband's recovery, Debbie Sacra wants to remind the world that there are thousands dying in West Africa of the deadly Ebola virus. Dr. Rick Sacra is the latest American to become infected with the Ebola virus while working in Liberia for the aid organization Serving in Mission. He was admitted to an Ebola case management center over the weekend near the hospital in Monrovia where he has served for 15 years. "I am surrounded by friends and family and the body of Christ, who are a great encouragement and who are praying fervently for Rick's recovery along with me," Debbie Sacra said in a statement. "We are trusting in God to be with Rick and us through this difficult circumstance.
