Treatment starts with radiation which takes place in Pitts. He and his wife Cindy will have to stay there. That is a hardship on all so please pray for peace and hope for the whole family. Thank you, Connie
11/22 ANONYMOUS: Pray for my friend, Pat. She has been hospitalized and will need to transfer to a care facility and, possibly, with hospice. Also pray for her family as they make decisions.
11/22 ANONYMOUS: Please pray for me and my family. There are struggles with my sister again and I’m not permitted to see or even speak to her kids. My heart is broken. In the past couple of weeks I’ve had three close friends pass away, this struggle within my family, a trip to the ER for myself, a trip to the ER for my mom, and a cancer scare that is on-going with my best friend since I was 12 (Amy). As a result, or in addition to, my depression is so bad. I’m trying desperately to hold on. I feel so empty and alone and hopeless. I keep praying and calling out to God but He feels so far away. I feel list in the darkness. Please pray for me and my loved ones. For those who have called and reached out, thank you. My agoraphobia has also increased greatly and I’m just not able to visit or talk right now. I just need prayers for strength. PLEASE. Thank you Covenant family.

Sugar levels and insulin still need adjusted, he will have daily clinic visits for injection into picc line and weekly visits to surgeon for wound. Thank you once again for being faithful prayer warriors and being by our family in time of need. God heard His people. Barb
11/19 SIMON: Update on Brian…we were able to stop in and see him today. He was up in a chair and in good spirits. He has actually been doing a bit of work on his computer. He told us this infection started with a callus on the bottom of his foot. They worked on his foot today and wound vac appears to be doing the job. Once discharged he will have weekly visits to the surgeon. He should get his picc line in tomorrow. They are changing how he handles his insulin. Ultra sounds were good on his leg. Still waiting for some culture results. All in all, a far cry from how sick he was on Sunday and the doctors telling Jenna that he was in danger of “loss of life or limb”. With heartfelt thanksgiving for His grace and mercies and all your prayers. Barb
11/19 KILGORE: My health & well-being journey as I continue to navigate the medical care system with prayer & supplication for Father God to bring total healing in whatever means He chooses for not only myself but also for my father who I have been told was sent home recently from the hospital on hospice due to cardiac & renal insufficiency. May Father God bring peace in all the stress surrounding these circumstances & comfort of heart & mind to my father these next days, weeks or months. May Father God also bring reconciliation to families both immediate & church in relationships that have been divided &/or destroyed by the adversaries wiles to steal, kill & destroy. May we keep focused on Father God’s Covenant Promises that His Truth Prevails in ‘all’ situations, Amen & AMEN!!!!!!!
