Baity, Sara (9)

17-Mar-26

Joe writes,

Sara's first appointment with the orthopedist revealed that her bones are healing properly and rapidly, such that she shouldn't need further visits until it is time to remove the cast, in about four weeks. Our heartfelt thanks to all the brethren for all the prayers, cards, emails, texts, and good wishes. Of course, all glory and credit goes to our merciful and great God!

09-Mar-26

Joe and Debora are requesting prayer for their 9-year-old daughter, Sara. While playing in her back yard on Sunday, she broke her two forearm bones (the radius and the ulna) in three different places as they meet up with the wrist. The bones have been reset successfully and the arm placed in a cast; however, there still remains a possibility that surgical intervention will be necessary if the bones do not heal properly. Joe writes,

We are asking for God's merciful intervention for the complete and proper healing of Sara's forearm, such that surgery will not be required - but all in accordance with His will.

Carter, Jill

19-Mar-26

Jill writes,

I shall be having surgery on March 25th to remove part of the sigmoid colon that contains the cancer. The colon will then be reattached. God willing, this will remove all the cancer. I would really appreciate your prayers at this time for our Great God through Jesus Christ to see me through this trial and for God’s will to be done.

Clinton, Deborah

12-Mar-26

Debbie let us know that after having the hospital discharge her to rely on God, her cardiologist saw no need for an imminent heart valve replacement, nor for the artery stent the hospital said she needed. Also, upon review of the MRI of her foot, her podiatrist firmly disagreed with their recommendation to amputate her toes, saying they were actually healing. Debbie firmly believes that God has mercifully intervened, as only He can, in accord with His promises. She will see her kidney specialist tomorrow and trusts in God’s continued mercy to carry her through her kidney issues. Debbie writes: “Thank you to ALL my brethren for sacrificing in prayer for me...God has heard and answered!!!”

Clinton, Jane (80)

23-Mar-26

Jane is dealing with a great deal of pain in the heel & arch of her right foot. The pain is so severe that she is unable to get her work done throughout the day. Jane would appreciate your prayers for God's intervention and the relief that only He can give. As always, thank you in advance for your prayers.

Finklea, Clyde

Tiffany writes,

Dad is home and feeling much better. He's on steroids for the inflammation; they still don't know what caused all this and we pray they once he finishes his meds it doesn't come back. Thank you all for your prayers!

09-Mar-26

Please pray for Clyde, who was taken to the ER by Carolyn this morning because of intense pain throughout his body, particularly in his joints. He was admitted and the doctors are trying to figure out what is causing this acute onset of inflammation. So far, his test results have come back normal except for his white blood cell count, which is high. Please pray for God's guidance of the doctors in understanding what is causing the inflammation, and for God's intervention in relieving his pain. Thank you.

Price, Shirley (95)

10-Mar-26

Please continue to pray for Shirley Price, 95, of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, who is suffering from spinal stenosis and severe muscle pain in her legs, which keeps her from sleeping and moving around. Her doctor wants to put her on a stronger pain medication, which will be difficult for her to take since she cannot swallow pills. On top of that, she has had a cold and a cough for over a month. Please ask for God's healing and relief from the pain. Thank you.

Simkins, Verna (79)

11-Mar-26

Verna received stitches at the ER, but is doing well and is returning home. Thank you for your prayers!

11-Mar-26

Your prayers are requested for Verna, who fell this morning while walking and hit her head on the road. She has a gash on her head and swelling, and is being transported to the ER. Thank you in advance.

Stoertz, Paula

23-Mar-26

Paula reports that she has fully recovered after her January nephrectomy. She writes,

Thanks to our great God who sees our tears and heals us. Many thanks and love to all of you who supported, encouraged and prayed for us in distress. It is good to feel whole again.

Walton, Marci

23-Mar-26

The physicians at both hospitals with which Marci has been consulting have recommended open heart surgery to put in a new aortic valve. She chose the hospital closest to home, which was willing to postpone the surgery until after Passover. The surgery is currently scheduled for Monday, April 6. Marci writes, "May I ask for the prayers of my brothers and sisters in Christ for the Great God's merciful intervention during my surgery and healing for my recovery."

Zehrung, Warren

16-Mar-26

Warren returned home after a successful total knee replacement. Everything went according to plan, and now he is undergoing therapy with a lot of different exercises, testing, measurements, and stretching. Warren writes, "Thank you so much for your prayers, concerns and notes. As we are well aware, all the credit goes to our Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. We never take godly intervention for granted."

09-Mar-26

Warren is scheduled to have total knee replacement surgery on Wednesday, March 11, and would greatly appreciate your prayers for a successful operation and recovery. Thank you.
