Please continue to keep my sisterKetiva Lynchin your prayers.  She is doing better and was moved out of ICU early yesterday and is now heading home this afternoon!  Not sure that’s the best thing, but I’m no doctor.  GOD IS GOOD and she is in his hands!  Several different tests were done, but no answers yet as to what caused her to be disoriented, weak, twitching and fainting.  Prayers for answers, continued healing and comfort.  Thank you to all who have reached out and held her and our family in prayer.

Prayer Request from Susan Davis

Please be in prayer for my sister, Ketiva Lynch.  Ketiva was taken to the hospital yesterday afternoon and is in ICU due to what they believe was acute kidney failure due to the Lupus disease.  She has slightly improved this morningafter medication and help, but is still very disoriented and weak.  They are going to do an MRI to see if they can determine the exact cause.  Prayers for answers, the medical team to be able to treat her and for a CURE for the terrible disease of Lupus which destroys your organs.  Thank you.

Prayer Request

Please continue to keep Mary’s Aunt Betty in your prayers.  Mary sent the update below on her condition.  Please pray for continued healing and comfort.  Thank you.

Susan, just updating everyone on Betty’s condition.  She regained use of the right extremity, arm and leg but her speech is still a little confusing.  But she is continually improving. Still no known cause yet.  Still in the hospital.

Prayer Request

Please keep Gail Draper in your prayers.  Gail has been having healing issues with her right foot for quite some time and has struggled to walk.  A hole developed on the bottom of her foot and is causing extreme pain.  She text me today and said they are going to do surgery on the foot for the hole and ask for prayers.  This morning she discovered her left foot has a big blister spot in the same area as on the right, which is how the first one developed.  This is obviously upsetting to Gail.  Please pray for healing and answers for Gail and wisdom and steady hands for the doctor and his staff.  Thank you.

Please be in prayer for Mitch Irish and his family.  Mitch’s mother, Jo Irish, passed away this week.  Bob Slaton is good friends with Mitch and said he believes Jo was an original member of Hollydale UMC and some church members may recall the Irish family. Reverend Jim Lowery, Hollydale’s founding pastor, is officiating her funeral.  Please keep the family in your prayers as they grieve the loss of their loved one.  Below is the link to her obituary for those who would like to read it.  Thank you.

Please continue to keepThomas Evans in your prayers as he goes through his military boot camp training.  Tiffany sent the note below updating on him and ask that you continue to pray for and if you feel led, to send him a note or card of encouragement.  His address is attached and below as well.  Thank you.

 

Susan,  I received my first letter from Thomas.  If anyone would like to write, send a card and words of encouragement, this is his address.  I pray that all of HOLLYDALE’s many assortment of veterans will send a letter because we have all been there - WARNING - it may stir emotions since we lived that life and walked that walk - but he needs us most!  Thank you for all the prayers - his spirits are high and he is tired as expected- but he claims he is aware of his God-Given destiny and states he is ready for combative training this week - he feels his purpose is clear and he had the pleasure of hearing a sermon his 1st Sunday in the chapel from Billy Graham’s son - praise God!

He said it was very encouraging and told me to tell Hollydale thanks for raising him and thanks for all the prayers!  No comments about the Drill Sgts yet!

 

Respectfully,

Tiffany L. Evans, Lay Leader
