WEDNESDAY, MAY 23
God is good! I received an e-mail update from Nate Blaylock last night informing me that his dad, Mike Blaylock, had indeed been released from the hospital on Monday. The doctor instructed Mike & Sonja on how to care for the incision/infection and allowed him to go home just one week after his surgery. Needless to say, Mike is happy to be home. Please continue to pray for his recovery and complete healing.
Lois Kirschenman did well through her surgery yesterday. She was home by 4:00PM with some discomfort but doing well nonetheless. I would ask that you keep her in your prayers too.
I learned yesterday that Christine Leasure fell on Monday. Chris is in a physical rehab center in Ocean Springs, MS. At this point, I do not know the extent of her injuries related to the fall. Pray for Miss Chris and Bro. Jack.
I want to express my appreciation to those from the Friendship family who attended the funeral visitation and/or service for Mrs. Ruth Womack yesterday. Miss Ruth was a sweet, Christian lady and it is a comfort to know that she is now in the presence of Jesus. Please continue to pray for that family.
I am excited about Evangelist Michael Mason and his family being with us for all three of our worship services on Sunday, June 3. I simply ask that you continue to pray for this special day, make plans to be present, and invite others to join you.
The month of June will also see us host the Jack Ciak family from Guatemala, Pastor Travis Northcutt from Kentucky, and Evangelist Johnny Tucker. I will share more details in the days ahead.
Vacation Bible School begins at Friendship on Monday, June 4, at 9:00AM. I hope you are praying as we will host between 300 – 400 folks each day. It’s wild and wonderful!
We will have the privilege of hosting our friends from the Friendship Christian Reformed Church from Byron Center, Michigan beginning Saturday evening, June 9. This student ministry group will be here doing hurricane relief work along the Gulf Coast and will use our facilities as their base of operations.
The busiest day of the week is once again upon me. I hope that the members of the Friendship family will join us either this morning or evening for Bible study and prayer.
Oh by the way, Jennifer Moss is supposed to give birth to her third child today as they are inducing labor. Craig & Jennifer live in Hoover, AL now but Craig is a product of Grand Bay and of the Friendship family. Pray for this family as the Lord increases their number today.
Could you add the names of Lois Holland (cancer) and Robin Ramsey (loss of wife) to your prayer list? These are folks that I don’t know personally but have received e-mails from members of the Friendship family requesting prayer. Thanks!
