Anne S. - Sons Health Update

​UpDate on Jason 12/20/25 Jason continues to heal. Yesterday they removed the 21 staples from the incision they made to find the internal bleeding. There was just a bit of infection starting in the colostomy (actually ileostomy for small intestines) reversal so he is changing the dressing 3 times a day with medicated dressings.  Thanks for praying and for continuing to also.

Mark G. - Vehicle Accident

​Got smashed by a semi truck this morning on I-95. One semi hit another who slammed into me sending me smashing into the median and the car behind me smashed into me. 6 cars involved and everyone lived. I hurt from head to toe but Praise God nothing is broken. Admitted overnight for observation and pain control. All the times when I've been sick and say "I fell like I've been hit by a truck" - now I know what that feels like. I had to be extracted from my car which is totally destroyed. I couldn't get pictures of the outside of the car or scene but here are a few from inside. Seatbelt and airbags did their job and I am grateful to be alive. I thought I was a goner! Please pray for pain relief, especially my head, chest, and back. Pray for resources, I'm still recovering from the accident in June and the other two times I've been in hospital this year!

Joanna W. - Dad’s Health

​This is an update on my parents: The doctor said everything went great with Dad's surgery! They put 2 balloons in and broke up the calcium so they could put the stent in. His artery was 99% blocked. He will be released from the hospital about 5:30. My mom is back with him now. Becca got to see him for a moment and he looks great! Praising the Lord for His mercy!

Thank you all for your continued prayers! 🙏 ❤️

​UpDate on Jason - 12/11/25 8:15pm

Talked with Jason earlier this evening. He is resting and is still quite tired and still a bit of pain. I asked him what he wants you all to be praying for.  He answered: Continued healing and no infections. So please join us in that with him.

Jenn S.K. - Surgery Recovery

​Surgery went well. Took me a LONG time to come out of sedation and recovery but I made it home. I am currently experiencing lots of pain but I am so thankful that my husband is here helping me. Please continue to pray for reduced pain and for complete healing.

Derek S. - Dads PTG

Dad. My hero. 

The one who I wanted to be most like when I grew up. A man of God who was the embodiment of what it meant to be a follower of Jesus. Your love, wisdom, and integrity shaped me into the man and officer I am today. You welcomed in Angela and led our wedding ceremony. Your support, encouragement and influence lives on in us and in the lives of Nathan and Serena.

As people from across the USA Western Territory (and the world) have expressed their love and prayers for mom, Craig, Linnea, myself, and our whole family, it is evident the impact your love and ministry has had on others. 

Now that your fight with cancer has finished and you have been Promoted to Glory, we will celebrate a life well lived, share the many stories of great adventures, and funny moments.

I will miss our chats. I will miss your hugs.

I thank the Lord for the blessing it is to be your son and will continue to honor the Lord with my life and calling as you did with yours.

Franklin G. - Jamaica - Samaritans Purse

Today I was in Jamaica at the Samaritan’s Purse Emergency Field Hospital and went to our clean water supply points as well as communities where we are helping families get tarps for their roofs to keep the rain out after Hurricane Melissa. There is still so much suffering and need. People have been without power for 40 days. Every home in Black River was damaged or completely destroyed by Hurricane Melissa. Our tarps are helping keep the rain off families—one man I met was so thankful to have his roof tarped and said it was the first dry night he had spent since the hurricane! I also saw many hurting patients at our field hospital—we have treated over 2,000 so far. They are so grateful that Samaritan’s Purse is there because otherwise they would have no place to go for medical care. 

I thank God for our incredible team serving in Jamaica, and it was good to spend time with them. They have come from all around the world to serve with Samaritan's Purse in Jesus’ Name. Doctors, nurses, logisticians, water specialists, procurement, aviation team members, and more—all working hand-in-glove to bring much needed help in this time of crisis in Jamaica. The news may not be covering it anymore, but the need is still great. Would you join me in praying for the families in Black River who have lost so much and are trying to get back on their feet again?​

Monica K. - Daughter

​Well that escalated fast. 

Katie came to work today complaining of a stomach ache. I noticed midday her eyes were kind of yellow. We are currently at the ER waiting to hear from a surgeon to determine what to do about her “angry gallbladder“. It will almost certainly be surgery. An MRI will determine what kind.

Joanna Dad’s Health Update

​Update: Thank you all for continuing to pray for my family, especially my parents.  My dad finally heard back with a scheduled appointment for a stent to be put in next Tuesday,  December 16th. Also, my mom has an ultrasound appointment tomorrow to determine if she had a stroke. Also, my aunt is currently in a respite home while my parents navigate these challenges. ❤️ 🙏 I am very grateful that my sisters are doing so much to care for our parents. I really wish that I could be there to help,  but I am where I need to be. ❤️ May the Lord minister to each of them.

Steve S. - Jason’s Update

​Update on on son, Jason and his year-long surgery. This is the most recent update shared by his wife, Kristy: “I called Jason and I just got a call from Jason's Doctor. 

They believe Jason may be having some slow internal bleeding. Possibly near a muscle vein at the surgery site. They will go in laparoscopically with a camera to explore the original surgery site and the old. If for some reason they don't see anything. They will cut him open. We have an awesome surgeon who when I said we were praying for Jason, he said "He was praying too and that he would pray with Jason before the surgery." We are praying for God's wisdom and at the surgeon's hands would be God's hands. Jason's lethargic and scared. I have not had time to get to the hospital. Thank you for your, love, prayers and support.”

We greatly appreciate and covet your prayers. Thank you!

Joanna W- Parents

​

Please pray for our parents! Dad, Larry Vaughan, is still waiting for the doctors to decide if he needs the stent or if they want to do something else to open up the 90% blocked artery. He only has one good artery. He was supposed to have it done Tuesday or today but hasn't heard from the doctor. They aren't doing well with communicating with him! 

Please pray for my mom, Carroll Vaughan, as she has possibly had a stroke. We don't know for sure as an MRI and ultrasounds need to be done, but her decline is sudden and rapid since Friday of last week. 

My aunt has been living with them for awhile now and she has dementia so Dad is trying to get her settled in a home quickly. 

We would appreciate your prayers!

I took this picture Tuesday night when we celebrated Dad's 81st birthday. I'm so thankful I took it! 😭

Amy M. - Daughter Update

​

Four months ago today… a moment that changed everything.

That phone notification still plays over and over in my mind — “Jaylyn was just involved in a minor crash.” A message no mother ever wants to read, and one I wish I could unread a thousand times. What we thought was something small became a journey we never imagined we’d be on.

These past 4 months have been filled with ups, downs, twists, turns, and emotions I never knew existed. This Thanksgiving holiday was especially hard to celebrate. Our family traditions of cutting down the tree, riding ATVs, laughing, and just being together simply didn’t happen this year. The reality of that hit us in a deep way.

This is one holiday season of celebration that will have to wait until next year, under our circumstances. But one day, I truly believe we’ll return to those moments — and they will mean even more than they did before.

I just want to laugh with her again… to hear her voice call me four times a day just to tell me about her work day, her plans, her life. I miss those simple things more than words can say.

Deep in my heart, I know one day those things will happen again. One day I’ll hear her laugh, see her smile, and listen to her talk about her dreams. But for now, she needs to rest — she needs this time for her brain to heal in its own way, in its own time.

Please continue to keep her in your prayers. We are holding on to faith, to hope, and to the belief that better days are coming.

Anne S. - Jason’s Health

​Our son, Jason, has been on a journey this year that included healing from colon cancer. But 4 months after the surgery they discovered his intestines were leaking where the repairs had been made. This led to having to have a colostomy bag so that the colon repair could heal properly.  Praising God it has!! Today they are reversing the colostomy. We are praying that it will not only go well but that there are no after surgery infections and that all heals completely.  He is in surgery right now.  We ask that you join us in praying for him.
