PRAYER REQUESTS
Ed and Sharon Ditto: “Congratulations to Jasmine Franklin and Mario Barrera on
their wedding day! Many blessings to this couple. Also, pray for Lisa Cooper,
who is in the hospital with broken bones and a punctured lung due to an
accident this week. She has had many setbacks this year. She really needs our
support.”
Mike and Dawn Long: “Dawn’s mom, Carolyn Mullins, is having back
surgery December 2nd. Please pray for the success and recuperation
of the process.”
Jim and Tracy Phillips: “Please pray for healing for Regina Ralston.”
Tom
and Selwyn Reynolds: “Lisa Cooper was at her aunt’s Friday and was knocked down by her pit bull,
falling flat on her back and hitting her head. She has 3 cracked ribs and a
punctured lung. Her lung capacity dropped since Friday night, and they may
have to do a procedure Saturday to put a drain in her lung. She is in
Huntsville Hospital Room 466 but can't have visitors, of course. Her son, Dalton,
is with her. Please pray they won't have to put the drain in her lung and that
her ribs and lung will heal quickly and for relief from the pain. (Update: Lisa
did not have to have the drain put in. She is going home from the hospital
today. Please pray for quick healing and relief from the pain.”)
