Rachel R. - dad's surgery/ recovery

Please keep my dad in your prayers. He has to get surgery to remove cancer today at 2 pm. Not sure how long he will be in the hospital.

Sarah S. - Dad's health/procedure

Say a prayer for my dad this morning. He is headed to the hospital to have another procedure done on his knee. After three months recovery and even though he has worked hard in physical therapy, his knee is still not bending and moving like it should. He will be having what is called Manipulation under Anestheia (MUA). There are no incisions, but it is still done in the OR, so just as stressful as if he were having surgery. The drs will bend his knee for him and break up any scar tissue, then he will have 10 days of intense physical therapy. It is almost like starting over, so he will be exhausted these next couple of weeks.

In the ER with Rachel J. Please pray for her.

Franklin Graham- 21 dead in Texas Shooting

Now the death toll has risen to 19 children killed and two teachers in the senseless rampage of hate at Robb Elementary School yesterday. Many others were injured. We are seeing more and more violence displayed across our nation. One day this country is going to have to come to grips with an entertainment industry that feeds a constant stream of violence to our youth. Contrary to what some want America to believe, it isn’t the guns. You can put all the guns in a pile in Central Park and not a single gun will kill anyone. It takes a human being to plan and execute such brutality. Only the power of God can cleanse the human heart and transform it. He is the missing element in so many homes and our schools and communities. I have been to Uvalde and it is a wonderful community. Please continue to pray for all of the grieving families and this devastated city.

Hi Friends and Family,

Crazy and emotional week.

This past week has been tough. Katie and Johnathan packed up 2 dogs, 2 cats, and their belongings and drove cross country to Florida.

I miss them like crazy. Now it's time to spread their wings and fly. Please pray for them.

Please pray for Dave as he has tested positive for COVID today. The doctor told him to stay home unless it gets worse and to quarantine away from me for the next 5 days. 

Thanks

Mike J. - Health / upcoming surgery / Moves

So I went to OHSU yesterday about the hernia that has been causing all kinds of problems. Found a surgeon willing to go in and try and fix it. This being my 5th hernia repair since 2019, this surgery comes with significant risks. But the surgeon is one of the best and she seems cautiously optimistic that this will help me feel better. Please pray as we navigate our move to Albany and preparing for this surgery. Joshua 1:9 reminds us to “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Holding onto that promise today!!

Coral R. - Family Health

Pray for Coral's health. She is getting sick. Her kids were sick as well. Hopefully not covid. May God heal them all!

Crystal M. -Mike's Health

Dear friends and Prayer Warriors

Thanks for your prayers.

Wayne M. - Health/Students

Hey! I have been sick for what seems like an eternity. I’ve tested negative for COVID several times. I’m pretty sure it’s a cold. But I need prayer! My classroom is currently falling apart because of people out sick. My 5 children with autism have NO support in the classroom, which we normally have all day support for them. Mix that with multiple subs, sometimes in a day, and it’s a hot mess. Pleas pray for me and my classroom! Also I miss leading worship and I’d like to get back to that. 🙏🏼❤️

Davia T. - Surgery/Health

Well here we are, 4:30 am and I'm sitting her getting my morning doggie snuggles in before heading to the hospitol for a 5:30 check in.  It's been a quick 3 weeks since they found my kidney tumor while taking imaging for for other stuff. I'm great full and I know Gods got this. He orchestrated this since November with the loss of my insurance and switching to Chris Tong Kaiser insurance. If this change had never happened I would not have had the CT and this tumor would not have been found this early. Today will be a long day, 6 hours 2 surgeons 4-7 days in the hospitol and then 7 days for pathology to come back. But I'm here this morning in the quiet and I feel calm and great full, loved, protected and ready for whatever this outcome is. Please be praying for Chris as he will be navigating his many work projects plus my care once I come home.. this won't be an easy recovery but we will get there..

Elizabeth Nemkevich Lillian Nemkevich I love you both more than words..❤️❤️
