As you can see, we have designated a special place on our site for prayer requests, our testimonies of how God has answered our prayers and encouragement to each other in our Christian life. We want this to be a place for you to be uplifted and strengthened and for you to know that others share in your struggles and burdens.
We know that your prayers are effective because we feel them and they affect our lives, and so we encourage all of you to share with us and each other. What are you praying for? What would you like everyone to help you pray about? How has God answered your prayers?
I would like to ask you to pray for our friend Jake Willis. He is 14 years old and was born with spina bifida. He has been confined to a wheel chair his entire life. He knows more about Southern Gospel Music than anyone else I know and is a GREAT person! Jake is currently at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis dealing with complications of a blood clot on his brain. Please pray for Jake and his entire family during this time!
I am praying for Jake. Jake is a blessing to me everytime I have the opportunity to see him.
I am praying for Jake… Do you have any update?
He is still at Le Bonheur. He had surgery on Monday to remove the blood clot. Shawn & LeeAnn are going tonight to see them…so we should have more information later on tonight. Thanks for the prayers!
LeeAnn and I went to see Jake last night and he really needs our prayers. The shunts are working fine but there is a great danger for infection and the pressure level in his head is not stable. Jeff text me this morning on said he had some more seizures last night and his fever is hard to control. They are having to cover him with ice packs because the tylenol is not working and the ventalator is having problems. Please continue to pray for Jake and I’ll keep you posted when I get more info.
Shawn, Thanks for the update.
