Please Pray for Lori's Mom

Join us in lifting up my Mom, Jan, in prayer over these next few weeks. She goes into surgery on Monday, July 9th to have her uterus and omentum removed. This surgery is in response to some "pre-cancerous tumors" which were laprascopically removed along with her ovaries about a month ago. This upcoming surgery is intended to be both preventative of further cancerous growth, as well as exploratory, in order to look for any other abnormalities which may be present.

Please pray...

... for her safety during the surgery itself. Pray that the surgeons would have God-given wisdom and understanding as they perform this major surgery

... for the eradication of any cancerous or pre-cancerous cells.

... for her immediate recovery in the hospital. Pray that my mother would experience a God-given physical comfort and emotional peace. Also, please pray for the nurses and family members who will be caring for her during this time.

... for her long-term recovery. Recovery from major surgery like this is expected to take anywhere from 4-6 weeks. Please pray for quick and complete healing!

Please Pray for Penny

We received an email this morning from Penny, the director of Baan Nam Jai, a foundation ministering to young children whose families have been devastated by HIV. Penny has had multiple battles with cancer, and recently learned that she now has Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma, an aggressive form of cancer. The Doctor has said that she has only months left and has suggested weekly chemotherapy, stem cell therapy, and possibly bone marrow transplant as well.

After taking some time seeking direction from the Lord in prayer, the family has returned to Chiang Rai. Penny's most recent update shares this:

Basically I (Penny) am currently consuming almost every natural remedy known to man, ...eating apricot kernels and cod liver oil, high doses of vitamin c and other supplements which I won't bore you with. My hope is that these things will shrink the tumour and that when I go back to have any CT scan in a month (early August) we will see evidence of that. Ultimately though it is God who heals and we are asking Him to heal me and hopeful that this is His plan. We have prayed together as a family since we have come back from Australia... and have a peace about this plan for now, once we get results from the next CT scan we will then decide what to do next. Paul (Wilcox)& I will travel together again to Australia for that on July 30th. We appreciate you praying with us.

Please lift Penny, the Wilcox family, and the children at Baan Nam Jai before the Lord in your prayers over this next month.
