Prayer Update

Dear Folks – just wanted to let you know that Harold’s surgery went well.  The doctors were pleased with the results, and as of this morning, he was up in a chair already!  He looked really good.  He wanted me to tell you that he is very grateful for all the prayers.  He should be in the hospital for 3 – 4 days if everything goes well. 

 

Also – we are having a special dedication for our Operation Christmas Child boxes tomorrow.  We have over 50 to send out!  That’s quite something.  Next week on Sunday (Nov 9^th), we will be having a church potluck after the morning service and a quarterly business meeting after that.  We will not be having an evening service.  Please plan on coming to the dinner and meeting!

 

The High School teens will be meeting at the Billau’s home tomorrow evening at 6:00pm.  Thanks Marty and Susie!

 

Looking forward to tomorrow!  We’re having communion, so be thinking about Christ’s sacrifice on your behalf and come to church prepared!

 

See you tomorrow!

Update on Steve

Dear Folks – just wanted to give you an update on what Steve is doing.  He is currently in Cambodia doing ministry with College Students (at least that was what I heard from him about a week ago).  He is in his last month now.  He said that he is in a very poor part of the country but is seeing some amazing things.  He is not feeling well and thinks he may have malaria.  We haven’t heard yet from him what the test results revealed.  Please pray for him and his team as he finishes this last month.  He still needs about $1,500 to be able to finish the race.  Would you consider giving a gift to help him?  He really appreciates all that you have done to help him – prayer, following his journey, giving money. 

 

He will be arriving home on Monday, Nov. 24^th at 3:15pm at Detroit Metro Airport.  We will be meeting him there.  We’d love to have a group from the church welcome him back.  Let us know if you’d like to come!  If you want to give a donation, you can do it online at www.stevewright.theworldrace.org.  Here’s a note from a recent blog:

 

I was just thinking the other day of Iquitos, Peru, and it instantly brought back a flood of feelings.  So many things were going on back then, I was in such a different state of mind.  It’s hard to believe that I have been away for 10 months now.  Back in Iquitos. I couldn't see the end of the trip.  At the time I was sick, and a lot happened that month.  This was the month where the bus got attacked by an angry mob, and we went to the Amazon river and stayed on a boat.  I'm pretty sure I had a few dreams in Peru, where I was in a tunnel, and the light kept disappearing from my sight, it was really depressing, but at the same time, God was doing a lot with me, and he has really changed me.

 

Skip forward a few months, and now we only have a little over a month left before we get on our planes and go back to the States.  I can't wait for this month to start, the community here is really amazing.  I have so many friends here that I feel like I can connect with, and mostly what we talk about has to do with things that are really interesting to me.  I feel so safe and protected…and we are all looking out for each other.  I know I'm going to have a lot of fun this next month.

 

Here’s a picture of his team in Cambodia.

 

 

 

prayer request

Dear Folks – just wanted to ask you to pray for Shirley Russ.   She just found out that her only brother passed away yesterday (he lives in California).  She is sad because she’s not sure if he was a believer.  She’s hoping that the conversations she had with him over the years will have borne fruit in his last days.

 

See you tomorrow!
