Please be in prayer for our dear brothers and sisters in our California
Fellowship of Churches.
Brother Sam Stanley: Brother Sam is recovering from his recent
eye surgery. Sam must wait for several months till his eye fully heals
before his surgeon can implant a permanent lens in his eye. He is back to
work with limited vision. Pray for continued improvement and for him and
Carrie during his recovery.
The Parkers,
Doyle and Imogene: Both of these dear saints have faced major health
issues and remain gracious and cheerful.
Sister Imogene is currently facing the need for radiation in addition to her
chemotherapy. They both joyfully express that they feel strongly the
prayers of the Lord's people. Please do keep them in your prayers.
Elder Elvin Layne: Brother and Sister Layne have lived with a full
plate of health issues recently. Hold these two dear saints firmly in your
prayers. "How he loved him" is a Biblical statement, and it so clearly
expresses Brother Elvin's and Sister LouKathrine's attitude toward the Lord's
people. I have known few people in my life who showed more faithful love
toward the Lord and His people.
Elder Sam Bryant: Brother Sam and Sister Dollie remain faithful and
giving, even as they must face a number of health issues. The Church in
Holtville: Despite Brother Sam not being able to speak to the church, they
gather and listen to recorded sermons. Pray for the Lord of harvest to
send them a faithful and loving servant to feed them rich, sound gospel food. |
