FRIDAY, 7/25/08

Ty & Michelle Stork are the proud parents of a second child as Michelle gave birth to an 8 lbs 8 oz girl, Laura Katilyn, (I can only hope the spelling is correct) on Wednesday.  Mother and daughter are both doing fine.  Congratulations to the entire Stork family – your tribe is increasing! 

Miss Shirley Bosarge has not gotten a definitive word on her cancer situation but the doctor says the surgery went well.  She was still fairly groggy when I saw her yesterday afternoon.  Continue to pray for her, John Wayne, Tina, Mark and the entire Bosarge family. 

Estuardo Morales will be taken by ambulance from Pastores to a hospital in Guatemala City this morning in order to be examined by Dr. Tony Matheu.  Special thanks goes to Louise Mason, Wiflred Johnson, & Tico Vargas for arranging the ambulance service.  We are one step closer to a possible surgery for Estuardo.  Pray that this examination today will give Dr. Tony a clear picture of what needs to be done to help this young man. 

I spoke to Joey Switzer for a few minutes late yesterday afternoon and it appears he will have an appointment at M.D. Anderson at some point next week.  I do not know what all that will involve or when his surgery will take place.  Just keep praying!

I do not have a report from Bro. Jerry’s team in Guatemala.  It has become obvious to me that he is using the “Ryan Johnston” theory of blogging – don’t do it!  Actually, Miss Kittie did blog about Wednesday’s happenings so we are only missing yesterday’s report.  I can assume that today’s activities will include dedicating houses, washing vehicles, et cetera in preparation of heading home tomorrow.  I think they have had a good week of ministry.  Pray that they will have a strong finish!   

Our final GRACE ’08 team of the summer will depart for Guatemala early in the morning.  This team of 40 will consist of 20 folks from Alabama, 17 folks from Michigan, and 3 from Tennessee (why does God keep testing me by putting folks from TN on my teams?).  At any rate, pray for this team as they will attempt to bring our summer ministry to a strong finish.  As a matter of fact, the following week will see a team from 1st Baptist Wilmington, NC bring the entire summer of ministry to a close. 

Pray for our students and Kacy Benson.  Kacy will be with us the dates of August 8 – 10 for a special series of services designed to help our students as they go back to school.  This is going to be a great weekend!

Our summer missionary is now on the fast track to coming home too!  Pray for her as she spends these final few days ministering and saying good bye to her new found friends.  She is scheduled to arrive in Mobile on Sunday evening, 8/3.  That shout will be Rita! 

I pray that you will have a good day with Jesus!
