Just as it is extremely important to ask others for prayer during trying times, it is just as important to give those who are praying some kind of report or update on the situation. We should always show appreciation to those who pray for us and share how God is working during trying times. 🙏

This is from Bro. Don:

“Several days ago I ask for serious prayer for my twin brother, Ronnie Lee.
Update:
After Three doctors looked him over, inside and out, the final conclusion was “inconclusive “.. yes his heart is 10-15% working, adjustments were made on his medication, diet and his stress.
He was able to return home, and is now under observation of his daughter and two granddaughters.
Please keep him in your prayers, this greatly scared us. Ronnie professes the Lord, and being a believer, that’s good, but we would like to have him here with us a lot longer.
Again, thank you for praying, your love is deeply felt.”

Church family - Mr. Ronnie Lee, Bro. Don’s brother, has received some serious news concerning his heart. Monday, he will be having a pace maker put in, possibly giving him 5% improvement in his present condition.

Because this is an extremely dangerous situation, doctors at Spring Hill Memorial have recommend to Mr. Ronnie that he be transported to Birmingham for an artificial heart transplant.

Tomorrow evening’s church service has been cancelled, as Bro. Don and Mrs. Lee will be spending the rest of the day at the hospital.

Prayers are needed and appreciated. 🙏

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28

PLEASE be in earnest prayer for our missionaries, Matthew and Barbara Furan, their church family, and everyone suffering in Saipan and the other Mariana islands which were devastated by Super Typhoon Sinlaku. Living on the Gulf Coast, we can all fully appreciate the heartbreaking devastation and hardship these storms can cause. The following is a Facebook post from Bro. Furan.

“Phone service is back. As night falls, the winds and rain gently fade away heading north. Barb and I were able to have decent meal tonight and phones were charged in my truck while it was running.

We have people working on parts of the church to make ready for a simple Sunday AM service at 10 am. Thankfully, a man in our church got the church generator running after not running for about five years. This service will be about prayer and giving thanks to God for His goodness and mercy as He protected us. The church is not the building. It is the assembly souls of the redeemed and baptized. We know that the structure can be rebuilt and remodeled. It hurts my heart knowing all the work we did only for this to happen. It’s too soon to forecast anything.
We will venture out tomorrow and see what we can buy and if we can buy so we can share with our church family on Sunday.

The spirit of the island IS NOT DESPAIR.

Everyone we ran into today had a smile and was thanking God for His goodness and grace. Resilience is the word I find to define the people of the Marianas.

We have a married couple in our church who has lost a lot. Walls out, roof gone and thy scavenged today to find something to eat. We will find them tomorrow and see what we can do.”

Matthew Chapter 28:1-10
1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
