Friday Afternoon

Huge News! Retia woke up!

Hey everyone, this is Jim Collins, Jason’s co-pastor at Westpoint. He wanted me to share this update with you.

Retia opened her eyes this morning! She was able to interact with Jason and Jimmy. Though she can’t speak because of the tube in her throat, she was able to mouth “I love you” to Jason and Jimmy. Erik and his wife Erin are about to arrive at the hospital, and the family will be able to see her all together.

Please pray that this will be the first of many great reports to come. This is a miracle, for sure. Let’s pray that God continues to bring more!

We’ll keep you updated as we can.

-Jim Collins, on behalf of Jason

Two people have recently asked me to tell who Don Denton is. His family served at FBC, Independence.

My name is Lisa. I am a friend of Diane and Don. Diane asked me to post the following message:

Don’s condition has worsened. He is at Cox South in Springfield. They are stabilizing him, so he can be transported to Barnes Jewish in St. Louis.
