I saw Charles “Butch” Slade Sunday. He is continuing to recover from the copperhead bite. Pray for all the swelling to go down in his hand and fingers. Thank God Butch was able to get help to save his life.
Please be in prayer for Maggie Lee Henson, the Henson family, and the FBC, Shreveport family during this time as Maggie Lee fights for her life.

On July 12, 2009, while the FBC Shreveport Youth were en route to Passport Youth Camp, the church bus had a tire blowout in Meridian, Ms, and rolled several times. Maggie Lee was thrown from and trapped under the bus.
We’re now in Jackson, MS. at UMC-Batson, ICU. Maggie Lee desperately needs your prayer to survive. We appreciate you more than words express.
