Both Debbie and Jane would greatly appreciate your prayers for God's merciful intervention and relief. Thank you in advance for your prayers.

Finklea, Trent

22-Oct-25

Clyde writes,

Trent went back to his cardiologist to have his heart checked for any improvements, and to his surprise and the surprise of the nurse who conducted the test, his heart is functioning at 55%! That's full strength for his age! I want to thank everyone for their loving concern and prayers on behalf Trent. Our great God has responded to the prayers for him. He no longer has to wear the monitor; his cardiologist told him just to keep doing what he has been doing! He will continue to take the meds until he sees the doctor in six months.

We (the Finklea family) are so grateful for all of our beloved brethren and the love we share for each other and to our great and loving God!

Simpson, Charme (Newborn)

Suggs, Ann

24-Oct-25

Bonnie writes,

The surgery went very well [Thursday]. Over the next few days, the surgeon will monitor [Ann's] recovery and will make a plan for rehab. She will most likely stay in the hospital 4 or 5 more days. We are very thankful to have this first step behind us. Thank you all for lifting up prayers for her and our family.

20-Oct-25

Bonnie Mabry is asking for your prayers for her mother, Ann Suggs (82), who fell yesterday at the assisted living facility where she resides. The attendants found her face down in the bathroom and had her rushed to the emergency room. It was found that she severely cracked the C2 vertebrae and will need surgery to fuse it. There are several concerns with the surgery due to her age and the fact that she suffers with dementia. However, due to the severity of the break, they said surgery is the only option. The surgery is scheduled for Thursday. The family would greatly appreciate prayers for a successful outcome and smooth recovery. Thank you in advance.

Taylor, Patricia

25-Oct-25

Josie Cochran is requesting your prayers for Patricia Taylor, the mother of a dear friend, who recently suffered a heart attack. Although Patricia is doing better she needs the complete recovery that only God can provide. Thank you in advance for your prayers.

Wilhelm, Jeff and Tracy

24-Oct-25

Tracy writes,

We are asking for prayers for God's guidance and comfort for Jeff. He is trying to finish a very difficult build right now and the stress level is preventing him from sleeping. He doesn't know what the future holds for the business as he might be losing employees and there are not many upcoming jobs. He needs help to find the best path forward according to God's plan and will for him. Thank you.

Wood, Naomi

16-Oct-25

Naomi is asking for your prayers for her sister, Brenda Wood, who is experiencing severe health issues and would appreciate prayers for relief and recovery. Additionally, their father, Jim Wood, who suffers from dementia and Parkinson's disease, has been accepted to a rest home, which may relieve some of the family stress. Thank you in advance for your prayers on behalf of the Wood family.
