Rodney Lee's brother, David, had his kidney removed earlier this year due to cancer. The pathology report indicated it was ureteral cancer and not kidney cancer even though the tumor was in the kidney. They have been monitoring him with scans every three months and as of the last scan in early August, there is no indication that the cancer has spread to any other organs, the bladder being the main concern. He has decided to forgo radiation or chemo and is opting for a wholistic nutritional approach to recover and stay healthy. He is doing well and feeling stronger since the surgery. Thank for you for your continued prayers as he recovers.
Karen Davis had another procedure to try to get rid of the infection she’s had for one year. Pray that it is successful. Doctors have been unable to find the cause of her infection.

Please pray that he will receive good care and that his medical team will have wisdom to care for him, as well as praying for his full and complete healing
Nell Head’s brother, Vance, fell and broke his spine. He has had surgery. Pray for his recovery.
Terry Mason is scheduled to have his right knee replacement on October 12.
Johnny and Carol Just’s son-in-law, Mitch Merideth, had a heart transplant in 2016. He continues to struggle with health problems related to liver failure caused from many years of taking medications for his heart failure and then heart transplant. Please pray he can manage the condition and gain some weight.
Kathy Quillin is still unemployed. She has made applications; gone thru the interview stage; and then, she believes the potential employer determines her age; and she is not offered a position. She has now almost depleted her savings, ran out of unemployment and it is now critical that she find employment. If you know of anyone looking for an employee who is on time; dedicated, honest and willing to do the work, please contact Kathy. Also, please pray that an opening will become available for her to go back to work; either full time or part time. She would like to work full time; however, at this time she is willing to take a part time position.
The Just’s granddaughter, Sophia Weihermueller, is walking independently with her new brace and only needs her new wheelchair for long distances. We are thankful for her recovery and all your prayers!
