Friday Evening

Peggy Alford

Please put mom on the prayer link as she and daddy both prepare for her Knee Replacement surgery on Monday. She is not one to let others take care of her, so this will be an adjustment for her. Thank you! Wendy A. Fowler

Betty Taylor

The doctor determined Betty is having a small seepage in her retina area.  She received the first of three shots in her eye today.  This be much better than having a tumor.  Andy said they are blessed!

Connor Corkern

Connor was doing so well, the doctors have talked of possibly sending him home today.  What an improvement!

Friday

“Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him,

since He always lives to make intercession for them.”

~Hebrews 7:25~

Pray for Betty Taylor as she learned yesterday that she has an eye problem that sent her to Jackson, MS for an 8:30 appointment this morning.  I’ll post more after she sees the doctoc.

Coach Shaw told us last night that his son Tommy had triple bypass heart surgery last week in Covington.  He is doing well now.

Thursday Afternoon

Kelly Wayne Russell is recovering well, but has realized it will take longer than he expected.  Keep praying for him.  Thanks!

Shelton Day is doing well following his triple by-pass surgery.  Keep him in your prayers for a little longer.

5 Wells in 5 Days – Today was the fourth day.  Let’s pray all goes well tomorrow so that they can complete the wells and provide clean water for the people.  Pray having clean water to drink will give personnel a chance to learn about “Living Water”.  Thank God for Samaritan Purse.

Thursday Addition

I spoke with “Miss” Susie.  She is doing very well this morning.  Thank God for her progress.

 

Jimmy Schwartz – From Frances Gay

After the senior lunch yesterday at The Chimes, we stopped in Hammond and located Jimmy in Room 4001.   They had moved him from step-down to intermediate care on 4th floor.   He was in good spirits and was concerned about Randy BLanchard, but I couldn’t update him on his condition.   We had a short visit but left feeling good about him.

Thursday

“For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love

which you have shown toward His name,

in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.”

~Hebrews 6:10~

Continue to pray for “Miss” Susie Wales.  She is in telemetry at OLOL.  I don’t have her room number, but her phone number is 1-225-374-4223.

Jimmy Schwartz is still in step-down, but I don’t have a room number for him either.  Pray for peace and comfort for Jimmy, Ruby, the boys, and other family members.

Jenne Valentine is hospitalized at Southwest.  Her baby was born during prayer meeting time.  Mother, Father, and baby BOY are all doing well.  Keep them in your prayers.  They will have some family adjustments to make in the coming days.

Ora Lee Wilson’s brother-in-law and sister-in-law both need our continued prayers.  The family has been through so much.  Pray for them when you pray for the two family members who are sick.

Mr. “Cete” Dillon is progressing well following his stay at North Oaks.  Keep him in your prayers as he continues to heal.

Shelton Day is continuing to do well at North Oaks.  Thank-you for praying for him and his family.

I’ve been told Beverly “Doodle” W. Watson is doing well and getting good medical reports.

Mr. Kenneth Felker is not hospitalized now, but continues to need out prayers.

Don’t forget the Third Thursday meeting at the cabin.  It’s tonight at 6:30.  Call me if you need directions or other information.

AAEO – Missionaries Say Thanks

Dear Friends,

I wish to take this opportunity to thank Southern Baptists for your prayers, and gifts through the Cooperative Program, and through the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering. These offerings and prayers enable me to do what the Lord has called us to do in the way we do it. It is indeed my privilege to serve the Lord in this way!

205th EN BN

We made it to Kuwait! We have some training for the next 4 days then we move to Camp Arifjan for to long hall. God must have wanted us to feel at home because its starting to rain!

We visited “Miss” Susie Wales yesterday and loved every minute of our visit.  She will be entering the hospital about 7:00 this morning to have surgery at 9:30.  She should be in the hospital three days and in rehab for nine days.  Then, she will be living a mile east of us.  She will be our closest neighbor on the southeast side of the road.  I look forward to her stay in our neighborhood following surgery.  Keep her in your prayers.
