Please pray for a determination of the cause of her problems, a cure and a cessation of the symptoms.

Mary Parker was in the hospital with an infection. She was released to her home on Monday, 26 May 2008, Memorial Day. Please pray a prayer of thanksgiving and continue to pray for her full recovery and that she might be able to stay home.



Kay Denton (Mrs. Kay) – is home from the hospital now, though she continues to have with heart, kidney and lung difficulties with fluid buildup on the lungs and what may be a form of septic arthritis. She is doing much better. Every so often she has a flare-up of the severe shoulder pain, accompanied by chills and shivering- but the last time it happened was much relieved by Cortisone injections. Also, please pray for her to maintain her positive attitude. As always, she retains her trust in the Lord, she thankful to get her positive attitude back. Pray also for Mrs. Kay’s family and her close friend Len who are under great stress that they might also keep their trust in the Lord. Mrs. Kay sent the Prayer Team a card and asks that everyone who is praying for her know how grateful she is for their prayers.

Joy – She has a reoccurrence of abdominal cancer, which is non-operable. She is currently undergoing radiation treatment. She and her family ask your prayers for the treatment to do good and for her to tolerate it better. More importantly, she asks God’s help to deal with the pain and discomfort while keeping a positive attitude during what is a very trying time.

Nicole Ethridge - age 27, mother of two - Has a form of liver disease, which is causing her liver to shut down. She is near dialysis and would like you to pray for her disease to go into remission so that she can keep off dialysis and avoid a liver transplant. She asks that you pray for her continued faith and good spirits, as well as strength to take care of her children.

Baby Marie, daughter of Bill and Andrea Baker of St. Andrew’s in Jacksonville, Oregon. Marie was born prematurely with immature lungs. She is now 2lbs. 2 oz.

Marie's lungs cannot function on their own. She has been on a high-frequency ventilator for some time. Over long periods of use, the ventilator itself can cause lung damage. Thus, a dilemma. That combined with having two lung viruses has put her in a position of relying only on a Miracle. Nothing more can be done medically for Marie. It is up to her and God's will. She is comfortable and doing extremely well in every other way. She is no longer on IVs for food, blood sugars are normal, no signs of jaundice. On one side there are high hopes; on the other side how much time is there for her here on earth?

Please pray that Marie will gain the function of her lungs and stay with us. Also, pray for the Baker family that they might maintain their trust in God and have strength throughout this ordeal.

CMS Jim Rodgers had a stroke on 7 June 2008. He has lost control of his right side and has much difficulty in thought processes. He was able to go home after a few days, but now is back in the hospital with acute renal failure due to dehydration. His family asks you pray for a rapid and complete recovery. They also ask for strength and guidance for both Jim and themselves in this very terrifying, stressful and difficult time.

Caroline (age 10, leukemia recurrence) and her family are preparing to move up to Pasadena as the time approaches for Caroline's bone marrow transplant.

Caroline's mother, Carmen, writes:
"Our plan is to head up to Pasadena this Sunday. On Tuesday (Day -9) she will have her new Hickman line (for administration of chemo and other iv fluids) surgically placed. On Thursday she will begin with radiation. This will go on for five days. She will have one day of rest and then some high dose chemo. July 17th will be Day 0 -- when they will infuse the new marrow. Then we wait."

Please keep Caroline, her sister Jane, and parents Carmen and Jeff in your prayers during these difficult months. Please pray for the transplant to be an absolute success with no complications and that Caroline will enjoy a long life of serving God on this earth. God has been so good at helping them through this crisis; please keep praying that they will continue to lean on Him during these difficult days. Thanks so much for praying for Caroline and her family.
