Prayer Request - 3/7

John Figgins' had an MRI last week and cancer “come to the surface” on his arm. The doctor has told him not to pick up anything with that arm, he’s very susceptible to breakage.

Dr. Prakash, John's cancer Dr., gave him 2 options: Radiation or Surgery.

MRI results were sent to Dr. Green, Ortho Surgeon, his opinion was that John is not ready for surgery.

He gets his arm “mapped” tomorrow at 11:00; his local radiation begins Monday, 03/11, 5 times per week for 3 weeks, elbow to shoulder. These treatments are not expected to make him sick or lose hair.

Please keep John and Marie on your hearts as Marie has been very ill these last few weeks also.

Update on Anthony Family - 3/5

Jay posted this at 6pm:  "I read this today - A friend listens to your words but hears your heart. Thank you for hearing our heart because during this painful time I am certain that our words are often not an accurate view of our heart. I know that I personally have had many times where I felt loneliness and despair over these last four months but God and all of you have not left us even though we do feel alone at times. Thank You - Jay"

William Offutt is continuing to have health issues. Please keep William and Lucy in your prayers.  It's really hard on Lucy, because she's trying to keep up with her job and she's really worried about him.  
She also sent this message:  "Please thank the Card Ministry and all the others who have called or sent cards or texts and prayers for us both; the encouragement that we both needed. God bless you all. Love you."

I received this message from Roy and Anna Bolton last week:  "Just wanted to say we miss Lamar Ave and all our lovely friends there. We are happy here but you know there's no place like home. However we do have a great preacher here, ha but we miss Patrick also. God has been so good to us here and the people at church and otherwise are so very friendly, it is hard for us to believe as new comers to the community."
