Prayer & Praise Wall

Hallelujah, Praise the Lamb! Join Charles & Bess Kirby in rejoicing in God's miracle. We were anxious to know the outcome of Charles' recent full body Pet scan. And, his doctor's office called this morning telling us that the scan turned out Good! Turning out good means to us, no cancer revealed. We are beyond excited. We are thankful. We are praising God for His wonderful care and this, our miracle. Thank you all for your prayers for us. Charles & Bess Kirby

Danielle remains at The Club at Lake Gibson where she continues to have therapy. Tuesday was a great day for Danielle. She is making progress with physical therapy. She was alert all day. She also had a swallow test, but Pastor Terry does not yet know the results. When I was there Tuesday, she moved her LEFT foot once when her eyes were closed and she was unaware of my presence. But, she moved her foot TWICE when I asked her to!! Praise the Lord! He is not through working on her!!

Kevin, the Whitteberry's son-in-law, has been transferred to a rehab facility. He is slowly improving following his motorcycle accident and his partial leg amputation.

This request from Sandy Siler : “Just received a call from a friend in Orlando to pray for Pastor Gene. He and his family are on vacation in N.C. On his way to the Hospital, he can not move.his legs and cannot sit up. They don't know what caused this.” Please pray for this pastor.

Di Richardson updates us with the following concerning her granddaughter, Morgan: "Morgan went to the hospital last Saturday not able to keep food down. The new doctor was dumbfounded at her condition. Blockage problem. Thursday they put in a PICC line in the upper arm for nutrition at night for 12 hours. Still on antibiotics for the original infection. Yesterday they went in and removed the old drainage tube to replace it with a larger one. It’s almost 30 days in the hospital total. Can’t start taking Skyrizi until the infection is gone and off of antibiotics. That would start helping I hope." Please continue praying for Morgan.

Janet has been diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. The plans are for her to receive physical therapy at The Club at Lake Gibson. She is feeling weak today and is not eating well. Please remember her in prayer.

Norma's back condition and pain are still a hindrance to her ability to walk very well. And she still has no feeling in her thumb and two fingers on the right hand. The doctors are saying that, if the feeling does return, it could take up to a year. However, we know the Great Physician who could touch her with His healing before that, if it's His will. Also, Norma will be seeing a back surgeon on June 12 to discuss options concerning that situation. Please continue to pray.
