Benefiel, Carl

12-Dec-25

Carl is in urgent need of your prayers for God's intervention. He is still unable to stand, has difficulty speaking, and has total paralysis of his right arm. Now he is also in excruciating pain from the hip that was replaced in 2022. Carl and Shirley would very much appreciate your prayers for God's immediate intervention and relief for Carl.

08-Dec-25

Shirley reports that Carl is much better but his physical therapy is progressing slowly and he still cannot stand nor walk. Also, because of medical insurance, he needs to be moved to a different facility on December 21st, which is quite a bit farther away from their home, which would make it very difficult for Shirley to make arrangements to go and see him. Shirley and Carl would appreciate your prayers for God's intervention and a suitable location closer to home. Shirley would also appreciate your prayers that her own strength increases, so she can help Carl when he does eventually get home. Thank you in advance for all your prayers.

My precious momma passed away this morning (12/14/2025). I want to thank the ones who kept in contact with me and who prayed. Love gives strength and glory to our Heavenly Father.

Debbie would like to thank everyone for their prayers; God is helping her greatly. The profuse itching is better with relief for longer periods however it continues. As a result, she does not feel well and has little or no energy making it very difficult to handle daily duties and appts.

Shelly writes,

I would like to thank my brothers and sisters for the prayers they have offered on my behalf. All the pain except in my throat went away! I was able to be with the family and all the activities! However, because of my infection, my throat would feel fine during the day and then sore in the evening from talking and eating. I was able to receive much needed rest this past week, but still cannot hear out of my left ear. (It sounds like being underwater). I went back to urgent care on Tuesday, and there was no redness in my throat, but it was still sore. The doctor said it's because the tube in the ear is shared with the throat. So I have continued to have sore throat-like pain and strong blockage in my ear, along with loud ringing. I was given a different prescription of eardrops because the other ones were not working and would even drain out when I put them in. I’m asking for continued prayers that I could finally heal completely according to God‘s will. Thank you for your prayers.

Hensell, Alfred

15-Dec-25

Alfred reports that, if he is understanding the test results correctly, there is a very low risk of cancer. Thank you for your prayers!

06-Dec-25

One of Alfred's co-workers is scheduled to have heart surgery next week. Additionally, Alfred is scheduled to have an MRI of his prostate on Thursday morning. He would appreciate your prayers. Thank you.

Morse, Emma

14-Dec-25

For several days, Emma has been experiencing excruciating pain in her neck, left shoulder, and up to the side of her head. She has been unable to get any relief. She would appreciate your prayers for God's merciful intervention in relieving the pain, as well as guidance to know what she can do for her part. Thank you in advance.

Kindly pray for God to give us wisdom, guidance, and a way of escape in handling some issue in the business that most of the family depends on. Thank you in advance.

Mom came through the surgery very well, and the surgeon is pleased with the outcome. She will remain in the hospital until Monday and then be transported back to the assisted living facility. They will continue with physical therapy from that point to help with her recovery. Thank you everyone for your prayers.

09-Dec-25

Ann had another bad fall. She will need a revision to the first surgical procedure that was done on her neck about seven weeks ago. She will be having surgery tomorrow (Wednesday) morning. The Mabrys would appreciate prayers for a positive outcome and smooth recovery. Thank you.
