Cornie writes,

My wife’s younger sister’s husband, Ben Dyck (63/64), passed away this morning in southern Manitoba. The funeral is planned for Sunday, so we’re planning to leave tomorrow morning. Please pray for his wife, Tina, and her family.

Debbie writes:

"The fluid drainage went smooth & swift today...thanks only to God! They wanted to keep me and start dialysis, but I don't feel led to do that at ths moment in time. I will see a Nephrologist on Tuesday and let God lead me. Right now, the miracle is, I'm breathing, functioning quite normally with a GFR of 4....that's a gift only from God. I still need prayers for peace in making the choice God wants me to make. Thank you all!"

Debbie writes: "My Aortic Stenosis is stable, no urgency at the moment. My tight breathing is due to fluid overload in my abdomen. The antibiotics I had to take for the toe infection pushed my kidney's over the edge. I will be going to the hospital tomorrow morning, to hopefully get the excess fluid drained off of my abdomen. I ask for my brethren's prayers for a safe swift procedure and God's protection from anymore infections or complications. I also ask for prayer that draining this fluid overload will be only a one-time issue." Thank you all for your continued prayers on Debbie's behalf.

21-Apr-26

Debbie continues to experience complications from Aortic Stenosis and failing kidneys. Last night she had to go to the ER because of increased swelling of her abdomen and tightness across her chest. They are keeping her in the hospital to run more tests and drain the fluid that she is retaining. They are suggesting permanent dialysis, which Debbie does not want to do. She continues to look to God for the healing that she knows only He can give and Debbie would very much appreciate your prayers for God's intervention and that she makes decisions in line with His Will. Thank you for all of your prayers on her behalf.

Croft, June

29-Apr-26

June was released from the hospital Tuesday and spent her first night at home in over a week. The McClure and Croft families are thankful for all of the prayers on June's behalf and loving concern of our brethren. Please continue to pray for her complete healing and recovery in the coming weeks. Thank you.

The McClures write,

We are most grateful for your prayers and extremely thankful for God's intervention and guidance. June's surgery went well and they are moving her into recovery from surgery. While a portion of her intestines had to be removed, the doctor informed us that it could have been a lot worse. We're thankful for God's help throughout all of this and praying for a speedy recovery. Thank you all for your prayers on her behalf and for healing in the days ahead!

The McClures write,

After multiple scans, doctors determined that June will need to undergo major intestinal surgery, which is scheduled for today (most likely within the hour). Please continue to pray for guidance for the doctor and that the surgery and June's ultimate healing will go according to God's will. We appreciate your prayers!

20-Apr-26

June is back in the hospital with severe pain. The family does not have many details at the moment but believes this is likely related to the abdominal pain June experienced in January. Thank you in advance for your prayers.

French, Leslie

My father, Leslie French, was in a serious scooter accident earlier this week and is currently in the ICU. After some initial stability, he experienced a major setback and is now unresponsive. At this point, we believe he may be nearing the end of his life. I’m simply asking for prayers for him and for our family, and that God’s will be done. Thank you to anyone who takes a moment to lift him up.

Hunt, Shirley

16-Apr-26

Just before Shirley's children arrived to take her home, her blood pressure started spiking again. The hospital has hooked her back up to everything and will be keeping her there for additional monitoring. She asks for prayers for the staff to discover what is causing this so she can return home. Thank you.

16-Apr-26

Shirley is still in the hospital, but they will be sending her home soon. Her high blood pressure was due to a minor UTI. The doctors are treating the UTI, which should bring her blood pressure down. She also reports that her confusion is going away. Please continue to pray for her complete healing. Thank you.

16-Apr-26

Shirley went to get checked out because she was experiencing confusion. The doctors found that she has high blood pressure and placed her in the ICU because they could not figure out what was causing her blood pressure to spike. She was placed in a regular room yesterday, but they are keeping her until they can understand what is affecting her blood pressure. Please keep Shirley in your prayers. Thank you.

King, Arthur and Pauline

20-Apr-26

Arthur is asking for your continued prayers that he would be able to find work to support his family, which now includes his sister-in-law. Thank you.

McClure, Judy

29-Apr-26

Ryan writes,

This past week my mom (Judy McClure) was able to "shuffle" into the grocery store for the first time in about four months. While she isn't walking at 100%, she is mobile and able to move around on her own. We are hopeful that the bone will grow stronger with time and exercise so that she is able to get back to her normal walking ability. We appreciate your prayers on her behalf and thank God for His intervention and healing.

Schlitt, Karen

28-Apr-26

Karen writes,

I wish to thank all the brethren and our Father and Jesus for your prayers and loving concern. I saw an eye doctor today and got a complete work up. The doctor said my vision is good, but he was able to determine that I sustained what he called an "eye stroke." He called it a minor TIA that should be and is resolving. Thanks to our Father, my vision is improving and the doctor said it is safe for me to drive.

Stiver, Randy

28-Apr-26

Linda and Amanda Stiver request your prayers for their beloved husband and father, Randy Stiver. After a progression of symptoms in the last several months that culminated in a health crisis last Friday, Randy has been in the hospital in Sioux Falls since that time. After an MRI, it was discovered that he has had, at some point, a major stroke. He also has rapid cognitive decline, which has progressed quickly since last Friday. The family is asking for prayers that God’s merciful will be done for Randy at this time. Thank you.

Valdez, Jesse (73)

29-Apr-26

Jessie is still in the hospital. Peggy writes,

We have no clear reason [for his hospitalization] but he does seem to be doing a bit better. He remains too weak to go home so he will be going to a rehabilitation center soon to try to get his strength back. Thank you all for praying for him. The whole family thanks you.

20-Apr-26

Peggy Berger is asking for prayers for her step-father, Jesse, who has been ill for some time and in the hospital for almost two weeks. He had turned a corner and has now relapsed. He is unable to eat and losing weight rapidly. After several tests, the doctors have been unable to identify the specific issue. Peggy asks for prayers for God's healing of whatever is causing the nausea and coughing, so he can regain his strength. Thank you.
