Prayer for Sandra Tebeest

Please continue praying for Sandra TeBeest, who is Buddy Trent's sister. She has Ovarian cancer. She had her first chemo treatment on Friday. She was so bad on Friday a.m. that the doctors weren't sure they could give her chemo, but after many of the family and friends praying, she improved so much that she was given chemo on Friday afternoon. Praise the Lord!
She is resting at home in Gruver. She feels much better, but she is having some pain and is very tired. She will need two more treatments before the drs. will perform surgery. Please continue praying for this sweet lady.
Thanks,
Kathy Trent

Please pray for guidance and peace

My cousin and his wife are expecting their 2nd child and she was just laid off of her job, and she is the one carrying the insurance. Also he was laid off last year, and has been staying home with their oldest boy, because of the cost of child care, it just seemed to make sense. But now they are both out of work, and he is very stressed and discouraged. He is a christian, but he isn't very active.
Thank you for your prayers.

Please pray for a miracle!!

My friend in Arizona asked if we could place the unborn baby of a family in her church on our prayer chain. She is 22wks pregnant, his name is William, and the sonogram showed that he has spina bifida of the entire lumbar spine, part of the thoracic spine, and has swelling of the left lobe of his brain. The Dr.'s said that at 26wks, they could possibly do surgery, but the Dr.'s are not hopeful. They believe that God can heal their baby, and are asking for our prayers. Thank you for your faith and prayers, Trina Simnacher

Amanda Hendricks has asked prayers for safety for her and her fellow missionaries. They are missionaries in North Africa at orphanages and being removed from the country. Their concern is for their safety, plus the concerns for the children who have only known these missionaries as their parents all their lives. Amanda told her mother, Beverly Hendrick, that right now some of her co-workers have been removed and some like her are still at the orphanage w/ the children, but having to be very careful. They are being watched everywhere they go. Also, the Embassy is closed on the weekends, thus they can't reach anyone for help at that time. Please pray for their safety and protection while continuing to be ministering to these children. Pray for the children for the lose of the only family they know.

He had an angioplasty done where they found 2 arteries blocked. One was 90% blocked and the other was 98% blocked. They fixed the 90% blocked one and went in on Jan. 28th to repair the other one. He had that one "roto rootered," like a plumber digging out of blocked pipes. Pray for us to have travel mercy. We will be in San Antionio at the VA Med Center. Kent is doing well have he had a bone graft done about 5 weeks ago. We are enjoying watching his kids play basketball. Next week he goes to the doctor, where they will work on getting him to bend his knee. He hasn't been able to do that since his surgery.

Prayer for strength and healing

John had back surgery on December 23rd and I chose to not mention it much because we thought it was going to be in and out with no problems. However, I am reaching out to ask for prayer from our church family for his recovery. He is not bouncing back like always in the past. He has had a high fever for 5 days off and on and has no appetite nor energy at all. Right now we do not know why. He just honestly does not feel good. We feel, like maybe the two back surgeries were too close together and he over did a lot of activity before this last surgery and he is having difficulty recovering. Our family would like to please ask you to lift him in prayer for strength and healing. God Bless you all. We know things could be much worse, but I sure want to see that smile and energetic person again.

Thanks,
Haltom Family

Pray for strength!

I worked for a wonderful Christian man in Louisiana who is now laying in M.D. Anderson hospital in Houston. I am requesting prayer for God's will. This man is strong, but when I talked to him today on the phone he sounded weak. I ask him if I could put him on our prayer list and he said please do. So here is the request, he has the cancer of the lungs from breathing asbestos it starts with an M but I can't spell it. It has spread from his lungs to the rest of his body they are taking out organs that I thought you had to have to live. So for Joe 14 please pray for God's Will to be done. May God Bless.

Gerald's total knee has been postponed. He failed the Thallium Stress Test last Wednesday! His Cardiologist saw something he didn't like. He called this afternoon with the following news. Leave in the morning for San Antonio VA. We have to be there around 1 PM @ admissions. The angiogram will be the next day...we think, after talking with Admissions in San Antonio. We aren't sure of anything else on the agenda. We'll see when we get there! We plan to have a good Thanksgiving where ever we are! (The plan was to eat with Kent & family.) Hopefully we will be back for that. Please pray for our travel safety and the procedure. Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving! Don't eat too much Turkey! May God Bless You.

Just wanted to ask for you to lift up in prayer, Gerald's brother, Jimmie Hunt. He and his wife, Gerry, went to Michigan last week to visit his daughter, Shawnda & family. A couple of days ago we got word that Jimmie fell and sat on his ankle, breaking it in 3 places and dislocating his ankle joint. He had to have it repaired at 10 AM, Texas time Nov. 3rd. He will have to stay off it for 2 months. Luckily at the hospital there, they have an on staff Orthopedic Surgeon that specializes in ankles. They will fly back to Post as soon as he is able to fly. My sister, Norma, had surgery on her right shoulder the 26th of October. She is doing very well. Today I talked with her and her pain only got up to a 2. The only other time she was in the hospital was when she had her 3 girls!!!! Unbelievable!! If all goes well, Gerald will have his total knee replacement Nov 30. He has to have a chemical stress test before the cardiologist OK's the surgery. Our son Kent Stephens will have surgery on his right knee around the 18th of December. Thank you for your prayers. I know prayers work because a year ago the circulation in Gerald's legs was 50%...now it is 75%!!!
Love to all,

God is so good!

Thanks so much for all the prayers for myself and my sister. God is so good. Sue (my sister) got word that her problem with her heart was just electrical it can be corrected. (Easier than open heart surgery). I will not have to have hip replacement. Just my left knee. I can handle knee surgery, I already have had the right one done. Maybe, just maybe I will be walking great soon. I give God the Glory. He is always there when I need Him, just like he promised.

Update on Frank James

Thank you for the prayers, the cards and the visits. I am home, swollen and stiff. God is so good. I give Him thanks. They removed two disks in my neck and put in a shield, and then they did the Carpal Tunnel on my left wrist. Dr. Banister said it was much worse than he thought. I will be watching Sunday School and Church from home the next week or two, but I'll be thinking of you and praying with you. I ask that you pray for Juana. She has had an ear infection and needs your prayers. Last Sunday was great. The choir was so good. Brother Jerry, I want you to know I DID NOT have my surgery just so I couldn't help you move. Your Brother and Sister in Christ, Frank and Juana James
