Heavenly Father I lift up my cousin Orilas to you in prayer. He had a stress test a few weeks ago, he didn't last long on the machine. Another test was ordered and the results showed a blockage in one of the arteries. They attempted to put in a "stint" but his veins were too big and it wouldn't take.  They will have to do a by-pass to prevent a severe heart attack.  Because of his condition they will do it after the first of the year. Lord I ask that you keep Orilas in your loving care. I ask that you guide the surgeons hands and bring him safely through with no damage done to the heart. I ask for complete healing. I ask that you give comfort to his loved ones and draw each one close to you. I ask that you draw him close to you.

Update 1/29/01
Orlas will probably be going to Cleveland to let them try to put a shunt in there. The doctor here couldn't manage it as hard as he tried. He is doing good with his sugar especially since he started using the insulin pump. Our daughter Tracy is a nurse on the heart surgery team, she has been the one to talk to the doctors and have them decide on trying Cleveland. All the medical talk is over our head so we thank God for her help. Love Iona
Update 2/6/01
Hi Everyone! Just to keep everyone up to date on my dad.....we had his angio sent to Cleveland Clinic and it was reviewed by a Cardiologist who was recommended by a DR here in Buffalo. As you all must know during his first angio they tried to get a stint in his artery for over an hour, but were unsuccessful, they recommended surgery, but I thought with only one blockage he deserved another chance at a stint. This Dr in Cleveland thinks he can do it.....so please everyone pray that he can! If this is unsuccessful as well, he will have to have surgery, but at least we know we tried. We are leaving Thurs. Feb 15th and the actual angio will be done on Fri the 16th. So please keep him in your prayers!   Thanks Tracy
2/16/01 Update
Orilas did great with the stents! The Dr. in Cleveland managed to do it. All the prayers that were said for him helped the Dr. How wonderful!.

Joshua Edwards, the precious two-year old, underwent surgery to remove his right eye. At the time this communication is being sent, he and his parents are returning from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis to their home in KS. Answers to the prayers for this family have been overwhelming. It is likely that answers will continue long after those of us in Memphis remember Joshua. This has been the prayer heard around the world. This story is not over. Do not forget the Edwards family. There are more tests ahead, and the possibility of cancer occurring in Joshua's remaining eye exists. I had hoped to forward more news from Dr. Wilson, the surgeon from St. Jude, but since there has been no release signed approving general information, we must rely upon the secondhand variety. Thanks to all who have lifted this family in prayer and donations.

Thank you for the prayer support.  I must assume that you received the second message telling that she is in Heaven.  We consider that to be the ultimate of complete healing and the Prize of the Race that we are running. She was first diagnosed in February of '99 and told then that she might have six months left.  We can only thank the Lord for the "extra time" we were blessed to have her here among us.  Her life was a glowing testimony to Him to the very end.  Yesterday a new nurse came into her room on an errand and after a couple of minutes, she stopped what she was doing and looked all around the room and said, "This room is filled with love.  I can feel such Love here!" Bev told her it was the Love of Jesus and of all her friends who shared in His Love. Thank you again for the prayer support. Judy



Heavenly father I lift up Brooke to you in prayer. She is eight and a half months pregnant and has been diagnosed with toxemia.

Lord I ask that you wrap Brooke and her precious child she is carrying in you loving arms. I ask that you place a hedge of protection around them. I ask that Brooke's baby be carried to full term and I ask that it be born healthy and strong. I ask that you remove any fluid that her body is retaining. I ask that you draw her close to you. I ask for complete healing. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.


Heavenly Father I lift up Michael to you in prayer. He is seventeen years old and he is traveling down the road of self destruction. Last week he was expelled from school, he would have graduated next year but he was caught buying dope, drinking, smoking, and was caught driving drunk. He will not listen to his Mom or dad. His Mom has been to a lawyer, a counselor and a judge to see if they can offer any help in this situation. They offered no assistance. Her husband offers no help either. A court appearance is scheduled for December 7 concerning the charge of driving while intoxicated. Michael comes from a good Christian home, he was raised going to Church. He certainly knows right from wrong. Lord I ask that you keep Michael in your loving care. I ask that you place a hedge of protection around him. I ask that you draw him close to you. I ask that his court appearance result in getting assistance for Michael. I ask that you place him where he will be able to get help for his destructive ways. I ask that you place a desire in him that will make him want to change and straighten his life out. I ask that you place him on the road of righteousness. I ask that you give comfort to his mother who loves and cares for the well being of her son. A mother who wants him to better himself and to go forward in life living righteous. I pray that one day Michael will be able to help others who have gone down this path in life. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Heavenly father I lift up Eunice to you in prayer. She and her husband lived in Switzerland. Her husband lost his job there due to fellow South Africans who spread lies about them. They were there for seventeen months. Her husband was involved in the planning of a contract and was also head of the project. They were supposed to stay there for another year or so and finish the contract but it was broken due to all of the lies that were spread. Eunice became depressed over the winter and as time went by her depression grew worse. When she heard that they had to come back and work she had a nervous breakdown and ended up in the hospital. The hospital staff were told that she and her husband were unemployed and only visitors in Switzerland. They were asked to leave. They are presently in Johannesburg. Eunice had to go straight to the hospital upon arrival there for treatment.  At the present time she is not in good health. She feels that the main reason that led to all of their problems is the fact that they are Christians and that they prayed a lot for the safety of the people on the contract. She has endured much suffering to enable her husband to do his best for the Swiss Government. The government was very good to them and tried to keep them working there. Their own company treated them very bad.  It was difficult for her to be housebound for such a long length of time. She had polio as a child, and has been in a wheelchair since the age of nine. They lived on a very high steep mountain and she could not leave the house on her own. So much snow during the winter she seldom went out. Her husband wants to take this matter further because they lost a lot of money due to the breaking of the contract. Both Eunice and her husband have been Christians for thirty years. Lord I ask that you keep them in your loving care. I ask that you direct them in whatever decisions have to be made. They are not seeking revenge but only desire justice. Lord I ask that justice prevail concerning this situation. I ask that you draw both Eunice and her husband close to you. I ask for reconciliation and forgiveness to ensue. I ask that you strengthen Eunice, I ask that you remove her depression and replace it with joy. I ask in the name of Jesus. amen.
Update 6/22
We have been through very tough times lately. We were treated very unjustly while we lived and worked in Switzerland. My husband Hannes, had been with his previous Firm for over 30 years, and headed a very big project. We were to stay for seven years and complete the Gotthard Tunnel Project, but a colleague of the previous firm made it absolutely terrible for us. This man called us back and made things so bad, that Hannes left. The company owes us for the shipment of our belongings and airplane tickets from to Switzerland and back to South Africa. Hannes use to work between twelve and sixteen hours a day, seven days a week. It was extremely difficult for me, especially in the beginning.  I could not speak German then and had no friends. Our house was the second last house on a very high and steep mountain, and there was no way in which I could leave the house. Nothing in Switzerland is really wheelchair friendly enough!  The country is absolutely picturesque and I use to refer to my place as living in God's Garden!  When winter came, I was even more housebound.  I had a very tiny little veranda, but due to the snow, I could not use it.  It gets dark very early in the afternoon, and my days alone at home felt even longer.  I became very depressed, to such a state that I was hospitalized.  It was during this time that we were very ill treated.  A person from the SA side, also living in Switzerland and working as the liaison Officer let the Hospital know that my husband was not employed by the previous firm!  We were supposedly to be on holiday only!  The Hospital authorities asked me to leave immediately, as we would not be covered to the medical aid.  It later came out that I was never registered and was indeed not covered by our medical aid, due to the firms negligence!  The Swiss people were wonderful to us, from the start, and couldn't believe what we had to tell.  We were offered a paid-for Holiday by the Swiss. They knew about the fact that I had not left the house for weeks on end and that I hadn't seen much of their beautiful country. On arriving back in Johannesburg, I was admitted back to the Hospital.  I have been taking medication for nine months, and will remain on treatment for a rather lengthy time. The almost two years at home alone, took its toll on me.  My husbands contract was broken, we lost much money, but God has been wonderful to us. My husband is now employed by an International Firm, he handles Director National and International Contracts, and is very happy in his new position. Please pray that the people who owe us the money will pay, they are offering to pay only forty-percent of what is owed to us. These people are spreading lies about Hannes in order to put him in a bad light here and abroad.  We know that prayer changes things!  We are exited by the thought that God is going to intercede. We live in a Townhouse complex here, and we would be happy enough, if it weren't for the stairs. Can you help us pray that we could be moved where there are no stairs. Thank you for your prayers. God bless you. Eunice Kaalsen.
Update 3/7/02
Brothers and sisters in the Lord I am paralyzed since forty years, and now because you prayed I have found an apartment that will allow me to move very easily with my wheel chair. I want to give glory to God for the new neighbors I will have soon and pray that I might also be a blessing to them and to be able to lend a hand in time of need.

Charlotte, ....I am feeling so much better. Several friends informed me that my potassium may be low. I started on orange juice a few days ago. The pain  under my rib cage was like a charlie horse, it felt horrible. It felt as if my breath was being cut off completely. So many people have been praying for  me and I am very THANKFUL. Compared to how I was I am now 99% better, other than normal pains. I THANK THE LORD AND I THANK ALL WHO PRAYED FOR ME. GOD BLESS/BRENDA

Heavenly father I lift up Harlean's family to you in prayer. Their sister Jean has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. First Harlean chatted with Jean briefly on the computer, she complained of a migraine and got off. Later on in the day Jean talked with her daughter on the phone who sensed that something was wrong. Her daughter immediately called her brother who lives close by and he went over to her house. As soon as he arrived he could tell that Jean needed immediate medical attention. During their conversation she made no sense at all. He thought she was having a stroke. He got her help and she was diagnosed very quickly. They are now awaiting to see how serious and when and if surgery will be done. She has been under a lot of stress having to care for her husband who is completely disabled. Their son is there with him now. Her husband has been on the waiting list for a nursing home for quite some time now. Depending on the outcome Harlean may have to go to be with her Jean. She has grandchildren and great grandchildren that she takes care of and provisions will have to be made for them. Jean lives in Newfoundland and Harlean lives in North Carolina. Lord I thank you for placing Jean's family in place to be there to help her. I thank you that a diagnosis was determined so quickly. I ask that you wrap her in your arms of love. If she needs surgery I ask that you guide the surgeons hands and bring her safely through with no complications. I ask that no cancer be found in the tumor. I ask for a speedy recovery. I ask that you give comfort to her family. I ask for safe travel for those who will be going to Newfoundland. I ask that you keep the family in your loving care and draw each one close to you. I ask that you be with her son who is taking care of her husband while she's away. I ask that you provide a good nursing home for him where he will receive good care. If Harlean has to go to Newfoundland to be with Jean I ask that provisions be made for the care of the children that she cares for. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
12/12/ Update
Kay and I went to the cancer clinic about 2 PM and didn't get away until almost 5 PM. That time was spent mostly waiting. Jean is now prepared for her treatments and they will start on Thursday about 3:30 PM. She is of good spirits but the outcome is only to relieve her of pressure and make her a bit more comfortable. One tumor is big and the doctor said there is really nowhere else for it to grow inside her brain. If it were in her stomach or somewhere else than it would have been different. They only could get very little of the tumor as it is imbedded in her brain. The other tumor would be almost impossible to remove. Anymore surgery would have only created a lot more problems. Jean she could go down hill at a fast rate at anytime and, after talking with the doctor I sense she won't be around if she can make it through the summer. She seems aware of how serious her problem is, but she doesn't seem to know of any time limit. It seems she just hopes for more time. She smiled and laughed and made jokes there today. The doctor said she doesn't need to know of any limit. Let her have some hope and things will be a little easier for her. He said it is good to joke with her and make her laugh. It also hurts Elaine (her daughter) to talk about a time limit. Elaine is doing all that she can and she is putting her whole self into it and a lot of what she is doing is of Jeans requests. The main thing is Jean. It is also difficult for her to have a conversation on the phone right now but that could improve with her medications  and her upcoming treatments. I wish the news could be better, I don't think it will get much better for any length of time. Bob

MY SISTER JEAN
1/29 Update
I just want to say thank you to all off you who have been offering up prayers on my sisters behalf and thought maybe I should give you an update. Jean just completed 15 treatments of radiation without any side effects except for losing just a little of her hair. She is still in good spirits and has a very positive attitude. I have been able to talk to her several times on computer and we have had some good chats.  She had a lot of hope that the radiation was going to be her cure but we know it was more for her comfort. Her prognosis is not good the doctor says maybe 6 months but he has not offered much hope that she will last any longer. Last week they decreased her medicine from 4 pills a day to 3 and today she had a little set back which could be because of the decrease so they upped the meds again. She had what the doctor called a speech seizure. She can be trying to tell you something and it comes out like a foreign language.  She does not realize what is happening and thinks you can understand her when you can't. It does not last long and within an hour she is back to her old self. Her legs have gotten stronger so she goes to the mall and walks around and is able to see her husband in the Nursing Home.Her daughter is still with her but is leaving this Friday to go back to Baltimore to her job. I will leaving to be with Jean February 5th. My plan is to stay about a month and then maybe go back in June but I will stay as long as I am needed. This will not be a vacation or an easy trip. I am going because I am needed. Someone will be with Jean until I get there. She cannot be alone.  Please keep us all in your prayers. Thank you again for your prayers they are greatly appreciated. Harlean/Mom/Auntie/Friend
Update 9/30/01 Praise Report
Hi Everyone!  First let me say thank for all of your prayers that went up on behalf of my sister Jean who was diagnosed with 2 brain tumors and went through brain surgery last November.  Remember I told you that the doctors said that the tumors were going through her brain like dandelions. They zapped her with heavy doses of radiation and she has been on medications ever since. Well! she had a scan a month ago and just went for the report on Monday, September 24 and the doctor said there were no lesions.  She said that was great news and her daughter did too. Since I did not know what that meant, I called a friend who is a nurse and used to work in a Brain Surgeons office.  She said it is good news, it means that the tumors are not growing.  Jean was on three  different kinds of medicine, one kind she had to take three times a day to keep brain swelling down, they have now cut that back to two for two weeks and after two weeks it will be cut to one a day.  So for the moment things are  good.  Jean went to the doctor on Monday, on Thursday she got brave enough to get on a plane and fly to Annapolis Maryland.  I talked to her on phone yesterday and she sounds good.  I will be going up on the 12th for the weekend to visit with her and our brother who lives in Virginia. Jean said to be sure and thank everyone for praying for her. God's blessings on you, Harlean

11/12 Update
As far as they know Betty didn't have a heart attack but thought she did because her heart stopped twice. But she has a virus in her blood, her blood pressure is low. They had to put a cathrader in her, (Gyniths words) her veins keep popping. I don't know what that is. She also has fluid. They are going to do a lot of test to find out what happened to her. Gynith said she is in bad shape.

Hi Charlotte~ Louise called a short while ago and she said that they have taken out the tubes and Betty is doing GREAT.  Will possibly get out of ICU tomorrow. Yesterday she wasn't even able to speak. But doing OK now. PRAISE THE LORD!  I'll keep you updated. Thanks to all who have been praying for Betty. Luv, Ina
11/16 Update
Betty is doing very well. Out of ICU now so we have a telephone number to call her later. Louise said that she may be in the hospital for a while, but at least she's doing much better. We PRAISE THE LORD for that.  George is still there so keep him in prayer as well. He'll have a long drive back to Ohio, by himself. He had heart surgery about four or five years ago. He recently had another heart attack and was just given permission to drive again. Thanks again for your prayers. God Bless you all.
Luv, Ina

He will be going to the doctor in January to get an injection in his back to freeze the nerves. This treatment helps only for a little while.
