“Lil Man” Santangello

Update from Megan: “Hey everyone! Today we met with Lil Man’s neuro oncologist and radiation oncologist to go over his MRI. The MRI scan looked great! The doctors were amazed at how well he is doing when a month ago he couldn’t even walk. He responded wonderfully to the chemo and radiation that he completed on May 22nd! He will follow-up in August with another MRI. But until then, he will continue with oral chemotherapy and his IV Avastin (IV chemo). He will now be getting the IV Avastin every three weeks instead every 2 weeks!! All the glory be to God, for without him Lil Man would not healing like he is!! Thank you for all the prayers, love, and support! Keep the prayers coming, God hears them! We love you! ” Megan

VBS at FBC,Amite

The attendance report is that there are more children than they have had in a long time!  Yeah!   That means more children who hear “the greatest news/message of all times”!

VBS at EFBC

I don’t have a count, but many tote bags were packed last week at East Fork because of VBS giving.  The gift bags are being delivered to flood victims in north Louisiana.  Great work, EBBC!  May each recipient find God’s love and encouragement in their bag as well as many items you purchased!

With the improvements in technology in the last 102 years, just imagine how it could sound today!

I’m remembering the many “one lost sheep” all around me and all around the world today!

 David also said to Solomon his son,

“Be strong and courageous, and do the work.

Do not be afraid or discouraged,

for the LORD God, my God, is with you.

He will not fail you or forsake you

until all the work 

for the service of the temple of the LORD is finished.

~1 Chronicles 28:20~

Please pray for my friend, Sandy W. Toney.  Her husband, Doug, is in ICU.  Sometimes, things do not work out as easily as hoped for in the medical world.  This has been the case for them.

Jadon’s Journey

Two and half hours later we still don’t have any answers. We ruled out infection, fractures, or breaks. She thinks he could be overpowering his brace and bruising his shin bone. We are going to take his brace off and see if he gets better over the weeekend. If not he will have to have an MRI next week. We are also going to try a different kind of brace but of course that will take several weeks to come in. She said Jadon’s case is a difficult one and she will probably think about him all week. Please continue to pray for him. I hate seeing him in pain.
