A Charlotte native is the second U.S. citizen to test positive for the Ebola virus in Liberia.

According to Samaritan’s Purse, Nancy Writebol was working with a joint SIM/Samaritan’s Purse team, treating Ebola patients at the Case Management Center in Monrovia.

Writebol is the organization’s Personnel Coordinator in the area.

SIM is currently managing ELWA hospital in Monrovia.

Since the Ebola outbreak in March, SIM and Samaritan’s Purse have been working together with those diagnosed.

Writebol and her husband David are employed by SIM and have been working in Monrovia, Liberia since August of last year.

The couple have two children.

Dr. John Munro is the couple’s pastor at Calvary Church in Charlotte.

“While many people would have looked for an easier assignment, God called them to Liberia,” Munro said.

Munro says Nancy is currently quarantined in the couple’s Liberian home, isolated from everyone, including her husband.
