Saul and Crystal S. - Corps Officers, Cheyenne Corps - Intermountain Division are requesting prayer from their Army family.
Captain Saul has been dealing with recent undiagnosed health issues.
This week this Family were told that Saul has a staph infection on his hip. Additionally, he has a serious infection on his foot, in the incision site of his surgery performed in August 2018.
Most will remember what was to be a routine surgery in 2018 turned into 8 months of infections, procedures, and uncertainty of what the future would hold for his foot. Understandably, this was a time of anxiousness for their whole family.
As this new health issue has taken them by surprise, Captains Saul and Crystal are asking for your prayers. Please pray for wisdom for the doctors to figure out the best treatment plan. Pray for healing of Saul’s body.
This news has brought up traumatic memories of what they went through in 2018. Please pray that Saul and Crystal’s minds would be protected, and that peace would cover them in the days ahead.
Please also pray for their son Ethan and daughter Dannie as they watch their dad face this medical challenge.
Christian charities are on the frontlines in Syria and Turkey helping those impacted by the devastating magnitude 7.8 earthquake that left more than 11,200 dead and tens of thousands injured.
Relief efforts are underway in the two countries after the earthquake, one of the strongest to hit the region in more than 100 years, struck on Monday, leveling buildings and leaving thousands dead or injured. The earthquake was followed by a 7.5-magnitude temblor only hours later.
The two quakes, along with at least 120 aftershocks, have caused tremendous destruction in Turkey and Syria: Turkey's Disaster Management Authority (AFAD) said on Wednesday that the death toll there had passed 8,500, while the combined death toll from figures provided by Syrian authorities operating in government-controlled and insurgent-held areas topped 2,600.
Authorities have warned that the figures could continue to rise and that the chances of finding survivors under the rubble are rapidly diminishing amid freezing temperatures.

A powerful earthquake has struck south-eastern Turkey, near the Syrian border, killing more than 1,000 people as they slept and trapping many others.
The US Geological Survey said the 7.8 magnitude tremor struck at 04:17 local time (01:17 GMT) at a depth of 17.9km (11 miles) near the city of Gaziantep.
Hours later, a second quake, which had a magnitude of 7.5, hit the Elbistan district of Kahramanmaras province.
So far, more than 900 people have died in Turkey and 500 in Syria.
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the death toll there was now 912.
