New Prayer Requests
Anna Harkins has been battling a very rare drug reaction, called DRESS syndrome. As of Monday morning she appears to be in the beginning stages of a relapse (not unexpected). She has been so very sick and has been referred to Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. Beth & Greg have a “Caring Bridge” that they try and keep updated if anyone would like the link, just reach out. Please pray for healing, answers and for Mayo to accept her quickly as they do not accept her insurance, so lots of hoops to jump through. The Harkins are so very grateful for the family of CHBC and look forward to a testimony of God’s healing mercies in Anna’s life.
