Submitted on behalf of a concerned church family member:

Subject: Urgent Prayer Request for Christians in Mauritania

Dear brothers and sisters,

We urgently ask for your prayers for the church in Mauritania.

Today, Friday, groups of Muslims in several cities in Mauritania organized demonstrations demanding the arrest of Mauritanian Christians and the execution of those they consider “apostates from Islam.”

Please pray for:

1. The protection of all believers and their families from any harm.

2. God to grant them peace and steadfastness in the midst of these threats.

3. The Lord’s intervention to stop incitement and violence, and for justice and peace to prevail.

Thank you for your continuous prayers and support.

May the Lord bless and protect you.

Our daughter Kari had the abdominal surgery on July 24. The doctor reported that the surgery went as expected. God is good! Kari is now at home recovering. Please keep her in your prayers for pain management and that there will be no infection. Recovery is expected to be 6 weeks.

We very much appreciated all your prayers. Thank you all. And praise God for his mercy and healing.

Please continue to pray for a Andrew:

He just had his follow up with the ENT. The infection hasn’t cleared after 1 week on the antibiotic. There’s also fluid blocked behind where the nose canal and ear connect. She thinks it’s because of allergies here that his nose has been inflamed so the fluid can’t drain which caused the infection. It wasn’t possible to confirm the perforation because of the inflammation. She said that the flights are going to be very painful because of the infection/inflammation. He will be continuing the antibiotics for another week and starting a different antihistamine and nose spray. He is pretty discouraged.

Also, if things don’t improve in 2 weeks he’s supposed to see a doctor again which is super complicated with their move. There is the possibility of surgery needed if the medication doesn’t work.

Please pray for my brother Andrew Friesen:

He’s been in a bad flare up (due to his autoimmune disease) for over 3 weeks now. It’s probably the longest stretch he’s had since going on the biologic. The pain, stiffness & weakness has moved throughout his back, neck & shoulders. He’s also been battling an URI and ear infection. He’s praying that his ear drum isn’t perforated from the inflammation. He and his family are flying to Chicago on the 24th and are in the midst of packing and moving things. It’s really bad timing but that’s how this disease seems to work. Please pray for healing and strength as they pack to move to Chicago.

This note is for those of you who have been keeping Ramona in prayer for the healing of her eye. Thank you!

This week we met with the surgeon, supposing it might be our last appointment with him, as Ramona's vision has ended fairly good after the surgeries. We anticipated that the book might be closed on this saga.

The surgeon noticed an issue with the retina "bunching up" (imagine a tablecloth not laying flat on a table), and has Ramona booked for another surgery in two days when he will attempt to rectify this.

Ramona is discouraged as it will be at least two months before we expect to know if there will be success. If this surgery does not fix the problem, he anticipates requiring further surgeries.

Ramona knows that all this is in God's hands, and we appreciate your prayers for a successful surgery and recovery. May God be glorified in this.
