Please pray for recovery from the flu and all the other issues she is facing, with back and hip pain and daily antibiotic infusions at her doctor’s office for an aortic valve infection in her heart.Thankfully, her family is taking excellent care of her, including her brother, who has moved into the room/apartment that she normally rents out. Please continue to keep Susan in your prayers for a full recovery, complete healing and relief from pain, and be with all those ministering to her, including the saints at Grace Chapel.

John Wood: Continues his chemo treatments for pancreatic cancer and is doing much better. He has gained back some weight and is actively walking each day (about three miles every morning).

Pray also for Alicia and their entire sweet family.

Bo Edwards’ sister, Calli: Continues to deal with mental health issues, but is now back at home after a stay in a mental health facility. Please pray for Calli and her family in these ongoing struggles, that the issues will be resolved, and the household will have peace. Please pray also for Bo as he is ministering to them.

Bo Edwards: Has been recovering from a severe cold/sinus problem and is now well enough to travel. Please pray for healing and full recovery.
