Ask for Prayer & Pray for Others

My mom has been suffering from vertigo for several months. She has fallen several times, and now her health seems to be quickly deteriorating. I am flying to Texas tonight to be with her. Prayers are deeply appreciated!

My friend, Leona, who comes to church with us when she is in town (she lives in Unalakleet) suffered a mild stroke Monday night. The doctors feel it was brought on by extremely high blood pressure and stress. Thankfully, she is not presenting any physical side effects from the stroke, but the doctors say there is a 60-70% chance she will have another stroke within the next three months. We are praying and believing for complete healing and no further strokes in the future!

UPDATE: I would like to thank you all for praying for my foot. This past Friday the x-ray showed restored bone on my foot. The physician was amazed at how quickly it is healing as it hasn't even been 6 weeks since it was broken. I give glory to the Lord for my healing! ORIGINAL REQUEST: Please pray for the Lord's healing touch on Lily's foot. She has two broken metatarsals on the top of her foot. As she wears a boot for protection, pray that our Great Physician will mend those bones back together and that her foot will heal without any further complications. "For I am the Lord, your Healer." Exodus 15:26

Jeff & Janelle Nelson are missionaries that we support at Calvary Church. They have been ministering in Kenya for 18 years. On November 12, 2018, Janelle had a stroke (brain stem hemorrhage). She was in the hospital for 15 days. Then she did physical and occupational therapy until the end of January. They were told at that time that the doctors would conduct another scan after 3 months. She had the follow up MRI & MRA on February 4th, and the doctors have found something they are very concerned about and she is now scheduled to see a neurosurgical oncologist soon. They would deeply appreciate our prayers for God's healing touch upon her body. Pray to for wisdom and guidance for the doctors, and peace within her heart about all she has been through and continues to deal with each day.

UPDATE 3/27/19: She has been in California for several weeks receiving specialized treatment, and deeply appreciates our continued prayers. ORIGINAL REQUEST: I have a close friend who's wife suffers from terrible chronic pain and a degenerative nerve disorder that was most likely the result of a failed back surgery. She also has a condition that causes her joints to dislocate at anytime which causes excruciating pain. At 35, she has been told by her doctors that she will need to have at least one of her hips replaced very soon. It has had a major impact on her ability to perform daily tasks and take care of her family. Please pray for her, for our Lord to heal her completely, and that He would show Himself mighty in her life. She has suffered much for a very long time. Thank you all for praying!
