Healthand Prayer Concerns:
8/2 Concerning a prayer request from Brad Kinsey on Sunday: Kala and AJ (her fiancée) are fine butthey still need a lot of prayer. They are going through with the weddingthis Saturdayas well as their honeymoon, and both families are simply trying to get back to normal for the week. (As normal as a wedding week can be,Iguess). They are looking for a place to live after the wedding (all their stuff was moved out of the apartmentSundaymorning--Kala had already moved a lot of her stuff over there in the past week or so). AJ is currently staying at his sister's until they can figure something out, so prayers for that to be figured out are appreciated as well. Thank you all for already praying and please continue to keep these young kids in your prayers as they start their life together.
8/1 Evan McKeeverafter a week in the hospital, and 12 hours at home, they are now going back for an unknown amount of time. Back to back chemo treatments is the plan. But, past experiences tells us there will be some infections in between. We are tiring of this hospital life, Evan especially. We miss people we know. And, of course, it's hard seeing our Evan go through this. The bright side is we have met so many new kids and families on the same journey. We could use your prayers and a visit if you are in the area! We are at St Louis Children's Hospital. If you want to visit you have to be 15yrs old. Only 4 visitors are able to come in a room at a time. Please make sure you are not sick or haven't been near someone sick recently. (Evan's blood counts fluctuate & don't always work right.) And, Evan goes to bed by 7:30pm most nights :) Matt & Stephanie
7/29 Matthew, David Kelpe’s cousin, is able to breath on his own for about 4 hours before returning to oxygen and a backup machine. He is still unconscious, drug induced, but these little steps are good news and the family asks for your continued prayers for complete healing.
7/29 Jason,Donna & Wally Ashbaugh’s son, had a biopsy done for the growth on the side of his tongue. Results of this biopsy will not come back for a few weeks, but they know God has everything in his hands.
7/28 Teddy Menke had surgery on the bed sore on his backside. He'll be on bed rest for 4 weeks due to the invasive type of surgery he had. Please pray for good results andcomplete healing. Pray for Teddy's peace of mind, with the bed rest that will be required, and that he will focus on Christ through his recovery.
7/28 Paige Babbs,16 year old granddaughter of Mike & Brenda Johns, with acute lymphocytic leukemia , had another round of chemo, a check on her bone marrow, a spinal tap, and her last chemo for a week,then she will begin the next round of four days in a row. Just pray for her as she is very tried,and that her mind will rest from the worries of “what if”. Pray for the rest of the family members as well.
7/26 Chris Wibberg’s clientslost their 4 month old baby to some medical health issues. Pray for the family as they deal with this very difficult time.

7/19 We rejoice with Joe & Chris Ging in the birth of their first grandchild, a boy, Eli Gregory Ging. Eli was born to their son and daughter-in-law, Andrew and Kelly.

7/11 Joe Murray’s recent PET scan showed the cancer is in the gland in his face.
