Urgent request for prayer by Debbie Hopkins

My niece Sheri’s son Tristan (Aged 12) is in Costa Rica with his dad Ernie and due to come home tomorrow

Ernie was taken to hospital by ambulance yesterday and it looks like he has had a pulmonary embolism Tristan is alone at the Villa that they stopped at after being lost for 4 hours enroute to their next destination in the jungle

Please pray for Tristan’s safe return tomorrow and that a family they know who is in Costa Rica can bring him home

Please pray for Ernie in anyway you can think of. There are many uncertainties about finances, insurance and how long before he can travel home.

Also Ernies wallet did not arrive with his passport and insulin when he arrived at the hospital

Thank you

From Melanie Friesen: Update on my brother Andrew.

Andrew was sent to the capital on Wednesday so that they could run some tests to confirm if he had anything serious. They put him on another antibiotic and he was able to get some rest at the AIM retreat centre. Today he was given the test results and was cleared to go back to the rural area that they live in. Praise God!

Lorilee Penner

From Lorilee Penner:

Hi Family,

My mom, Ruth, who has been living with Lewy Body dementia, has recently stopped eating and drinking. Our dad, Irwin, called my sister Marla and I last night to tell us that she has been seen by her doctor who feels the end is near. They have begun to give her meds to keep her comfortable while we wait for her to pass. We have watched her decline to a barely responsive state in the last few years, and recently, she has exhibited signs that she is in pain, so we pray that she passes peacefully into God’s arms. We are thankful that Marla and Greg (Williamson) got to see Mom at Christmas and that I was able to see her last weekend. Please pray for our Dad as he stands beside her in her last days. And that in God’s perfect timing all of the other events in our lives will fall into place to allow us to mourn together. Thank you!

Melanie Friesen

From Melanie Friesen: Please pray for my brother Andrew who is a missionary in Chad.

From Courtney Joy (his wife):

Andrew has been sick for ten days running to the bathroom all through the day and night. It’s pretty severe for your average stomach bug. The two medications they’ve had him on to treat for bacteria infections, Giardia and amebas have not worked. Today the doctor came with six IV bags of glucose and saline to rehydrate him. They think it’s one of two things... either while he took the antibiotic it cleared out the good bacteria in his colon and he has C Diff now. Or he has cholera. Both of which require rest, hydration, an IV, and time. Pray that his body will remain hydrated and that in Jesus name his stomach will be healed.

In Africa when someone is sick every neighbour and friend (& sometimes strangers) comes by to sit with you. This has meant our home has been full morning through evening with many from our new community. Many elders from our small local church have come through to pray with our Mus neighbours watching and listening. Pray that their hearts would be stirred that we pray to a God who hears and heals.

From Daniel Penner:

Good Morning Church,

My surgery has been postponed till tomorrow, Friday the 10th. It is now scheduled for 11:30 am. I’d appreciate your prayers that I won’t get bumped again. For the surgeons hands to be stable and his mind to be clear and alert. That the surgery would be a success and relieve the pain I’m in. For Lorilee as she waits the 5-6 hours for news of the surgery, for my kids in school that they’ll be able to concentrate during the day and not be anxious. For a quick and speed recovery and that I’d be diligent in doing the exercises required. Thank you for your support.
