Prayer Requests and Praises

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Romans 12:12 (NIV)

  1. Traci Arledge’s husband Michael will have open heart surgery on Friday, Oct. 17. Update: (11/14) – Michael is having a procedure today to drain fluid from his lung.We are praying this procedure plus some medication changes will help him to start feeling better. Please continue to pray for healing.
  2. Chrissy Calvert had surgery (Nov. 5) on her neck for 3 compressed vertebrae. Please pray for  recovery.
  3. Praise and Prayer Request: Evie Stafford (3rd grade student and Sheila Conway’s granddaughter) has had multiple tests the last few weeks to determine why she isn’t growing and has other issues.  She had a brain MRI on Oct. 30 to check her pituitary gland for tumors.  Praise is that there were no tumors and she won’t require surgery.  Prayer request is that she has a very rare condition with her pituitary gland stem and will need to take multiple hormones to compensate for that. Pray that her body will adjust to these hormones and the doctors will find the correct dosage.  So far, the hormones are making a remarkable difference, so we pray that these changes will continue.
  4. Lisa Gonzalez’s sons:  Adam James Gonzalez  – Bladder Cancer  and Jonathan Edward Gonzalez – Mass located on his spine.  Wisdom on how to move forward for treatment.
  5. Many of you may remember praying for Dalton Lambert in 2023 for his testicular cancer. Prayer is so powerful and we need your prayers again for this sweet family. Dalton has received another report that the cancer has returned as a mass on his left lung.  Please pray for him and his family as he begins some very extensive chemo treatments through December.
