Caroline Williams
Caroline’s surgery went well and she is in her hot pink spica cast from her chest to her knees. The family appreciates all the prayers and feels that the good outcome was due to your intercession. We know that God will continue to care for her during the next 3 months of healing in the cast.

Alice Faye Lee came home last night. She had some blockages that will be treated with medication for now. Keep her in your prayers.
The family of Billie Jean Booty requests prayers for her as she deals with several health issues.
In our last “Big 10” we asked you to pray for Bob and Gayle Hill while they participated in Team Leader training in Prague for 3 weeks. Today, during the last day of the training, Gayle fainted. An ambulance was called. Paramedics detected an irregular heart beat and decided to take Gayle on to the hospital. An EKG there was normal. The doctor said that she had a “normal collapse” which we think means she fainted. He is continuing to observe her, but expects to release her later tonight. He said that if she is able to get some rest and a good breakfast, it would be fine for her to travel tomorrow as planned. Thank you for praying.
