Prayer Requests
Harry Williams -- Correction: as of last Friday, May 19, a date for surgery had not been scheduled. Please continue to pray for Harry as he awaits a surgery date, for the doctors treating him, and for his family.
Allen Greaves, son of Richard and Helen Greaves -- I did get word that Allen is home -- what an answer to prayer! The pneumonia has cleared up. Please keep his team of caregivers in your prayers: wife Lorraine, mom Helen, and a lady from their church. Also his two children.
Alan McWhorter, son of Monty and Bev McWhorter -- Please pray for Alan as he continues chemo treatments. Also, pray for his employment situation -- his employer fired him last week which means his medical coverage is terminated. Pray for Monty and Bev as they travel to Santa Paula to be with Alan and his family as often as possible.
Congratulations!
to Pastor David and Shari Zamora of Set Free Ministries on the arrival of their grandson, Ryland Wesson. Ryland was born May 13 to Chalet and Serafino Wesson.
