  • Becky Sanor (3/16) - Becky Sanor has recently been diagnosed with colon cancer. Becky, her husband Mike, and their family are trusting in the goodness and promises of God as they walk through this difficult news. While they are praying for the Lord to graciously intervene and bring physical healing, they are resting in His faithfulness and care. Pray for strength and wisdom for her treatment plan ahead and for the Lord’s sustaining grace throughout the journey. 
  • Jerry Bixler - (Update 3/13) Jerry's surgery on Thursday was successful and he is still recovering in the ICU at Aultman hospital. He will be in for several days before being discharged to go home. (3/4) Jerry has been scheduled for open heart surgery on Thursday, March 12th. Pray that the surgery is successful, for a quick recovery, and for Bonnie and Jerry to trust in the Lord during this time. 
  • Mary Jane Phillips - (Update 3/6). MJ is turning  86 on March 12th! Please consider sending her a birthday card as this would be a great encouragement. Her address is 4515 22nd St NW - #159, Canton, OH 44708. Mary Jane has now been moved into Hospice Care. This does not mean that MJ is near death but that they are deciding she will not be rushed to the hospital (as she has been several times) by the nursing staff. This will improve her quality of life for the remaining time that the Lord gives her here with us. She is still living in her apartment at the Canton Regency  (4515 22nd St NW - Room 159) and would still benefit from visits. Be in prayer for MJ and her family.
  • Don Peffer (Update 3/6) - Don is set to be discharged from Mercy Medical today (Friday) and will be staying at his daughter Caroline's house to gain more strength before going home.

He was admitted to the ICU and tests are being run to determine the possibility of a stroke and other neurological issues..  The hope is that he will be released to a regular room sometime in the next few days. (2/26) Don was taken to stat care again yesterday (Wed.) with symptoms of confusion and not being able to talk.  They sent him home with more antibiotics. His next appointment at the VA is not until April. Pray for the family as he needs someone with him at all times and daily has times of confusion.  Pray that his appointment in April will provide a long term solution to his physical issues and pray for Don spiritually.
