  2. REGIONAL DIRECTOR, REV.

  5. ONGOING PRAYER CONCERNS
  • LEEANN JORDAN, daughter of REV. JIM & LOIS JORDAN, will begin her chemo treatments for colon cancer tomorrow (9/24). She also went back to work part-time this week.  Please continue to pray for Leeann. 
  • CHARLIE GREEN, NEW HOPE FELLOWSHIP MC, CLARE is on the waiting list for a liver transplant. The procedures he has been having to drain his abdomen and lungs on a regular basis are about to change. On Sept. 29 they will be putting in a shunt which will essentially bypass his liver which is the cause of the fluid build-up. Pray for this procedure and for Charlie to have a good outcome from it as he awaits a liver transplant.
  • Continue to pray for GAIL STUTZMAN, daughter of retired Regional pastor, REV. RICHARD & (JUNE) CULP, in her battle with breast cancer. Recent scans show that the brain tumor has doubled in size since April but there is no sign of cancer in other parts of her body.
  • TIM PATCH, GRACE MC, WATERFORD, had a total knee replacement on September 10 and is receiving physical therapy.
  • BRENDA MANN, wife of WORLD PARTNERS DIRECTOR DAVE MANN, remains in the nursing home and is only able to visit with her family members through a window. As you pray for Brenda, pray that they would soon be able to meet in person again.
