Dear Prayer Partners,
Please pray for our friends, Lonnie & Jeanne Burris. Jeanne has been in the hospital since Christmas with flu/COVID that developed into pneumonia. She had been slowly getting better but yesterday had some setbacks. Her breathing became very labored, even with 90% oxygen. Doctors are telling the family there’s really nothing more they can do, and she was placed on palliative care.
Thank you for your faithful prayers.
Dear Prayer Partners,
Cheryl and I had a great visit with Larry & Pat McCarty today. Larry is very weak and unable to get out of bed without help, but able to talk, feed himself, and still has his bright sense of humor. He now has a hospital bed in the living room and makes him much more comfortable.
He asked if we would continue to pray for his lung to completely heal. He still has a drain tube in his right lung. He said the tube is uncomfortable, but not painful.
He felt well enough that we celebrated Communion together and had a good time of prayer.
We’ve had Larry on the prayer list for a long time now. Thank you for your continued prayer and concern for he and Pat.
God bless
Dear Prayer Partners,
I received the following from Missionary David Daniel. It sounds like he is really struggling with his health. Thank You in advance for your continued prayers…
Brother Ron and Prayer Partners,
As you know, I have been in the Philippines for over a month and the day after I arrived, I came down with Covid. It has settled in my lungs and I can’t seem to shake it.
Going to a doctor here is much different than going to a doctor back home and if I don’t get better soon, I will fly home to get treated. Please pray for the Lord to heal me so I can stay here and lead lost souls to Christ. I can’t continue like this. Maybe I have a viral infection in my lungs. Please pray the Lord will show the doctors how to diagnose and treat,
Missionary David
Dear Prayer Partners,
Thank you for praying for Larry Goetz & family today. 6 people prayed and asked Jesus to be their Savior. Please pray they find a church and follow through on their decision.
God bless!
Dear Prayer Partners,
Please pray for the family of Larry Goetz. Last Friday, December 30th, Larry’s wife, Pat died very unexpectedly. Tomorrow afternoon I’ll be officiating Pat’s funeral service. Please pray that those who attend will have an open heart for Jesus.
Dear Prayer Partners,
Just a quick reminder… Please pray for Lee & Penny Sanders family today. Their granddaughter, Marissa Carr, passed recently and her Memorial Service is tonight at 6:30.
Thank you for your faithful commitment to pray for the needs of others.
Dear Prayer Partners,
Services at New Liberty Baptist in Oak Grove, MO went well this morning. Attendance was way down – New Year’s Eve and folks up late last night might have had something to do with it. But I suspect Chief’s game this afternoon had more to do with it.
Thanks for your prayers!
Dear Prayer Partners,
Memorial service for Marissa Carr, Lee & Penny Sanders granddaughter, will be Tuesday, January 3rd, 6:30pm, at First Baptist Church, 8750 Veterans Memorial Parkway, O’Fallon, MO 63366
The family is inviting those who can attend to wear something purple as a way to honor Marissa. (Purple is the color for Epilepsy Awareness.)
Dear Prayer Partners,
Please pray for the family of Lee & Penny Sanders – especially their daughter Jamie. Jamie’s daughter, Marissa was 16 yrs. old and suffered a grand mall seizure on December 27th. Marissa was eternally healed and is now with her Savior in Glory. Please pray for their entire family as they deal with this loss.
Update on Larry McCarty…
Hospice has been called to assist with Larry’s care. They brought a special bed that should help with his bed sores. He has gotten so weak that home health says physical and occupational therapy cannot help him any longer and they recommended he go back to hospital. Larry is adamant he does not want to go back. Larry’s son has been going over 4 times a day to get him from bed, to chair, to bathroom, and back to bed. Larry’s daughter, Laura said yesterday and today have become very difficult to move him, so it might be just a short time before he will be bedfast. Please continue to pray for Larry’s wife, Pat as well.
I’ll be preaching at New Liberty Baptist in Oak Grove, MO this Sunday. Please pray for an great time of encouragement to the church and lost to be saved.
Hope you all have a safe and Happy New Year celebration this Sunday!
God bless and thanks for your prayers!
Dear Prayer Partners,
Kristin Maher’s surgery went well. No damage to tendons, just drain fluid from joint and antibiotics.
Thank you for your prayers!
