  • Paula Moore (Update 7/3) - Paula's numbers continue to improve as she has undergone multiple rounds of kidney dialysis the past several days. She is now fighting a common infection from dialysis called thrush. If she continues to stabilize by mid next week, she could be discharged to skilled nursing and rehab at that time. Paula's daughter, Jamie, is asking if people could send cards of encouragement to her home address. Her address is (6787 Glenmere Ave NE, Canton, 44721) (6/30) - Paula underwent one round of dialysis treatment yesterday and is undergoing another round today which appears to be greatly helping her kidneys. They are hoping to do a third round as well tomorrow (Wednesday). As of now, the hope is for her to be discharged to Green Meadows Skilled Nursing  to continue dialysis on a regular basis for some time. Continue to pray for Paula and those treating her, as well as her daughter Jamie who is helping with medical decisions. (6/27) - Paula is waiting for admission to Aultman Hospital after going to the ER with extremely high blood counts related to heart and kidney failure. She also has a severe case of cellulitis. Keep Paula and her daughter Jamie in your prayers at this time. 
  • Mike Sanor & Brown Family  - Pray for Mike Sanor and the entire Sanor and Brown families  in the wake of the Becky Sanor's going home to be with the Lord and her homegoing service two weeks ago.
  • Jonathan Amrhein - (Update 6/19) Jonathan's tumor continues to fill, and needs continually drained, however, the nodule is stable. Please pray that the medication will work, that the side effects are minimal and that Jonathan's faith will remain strong, as he trusts in what the Lord has for him through this.  (Previous Update) Jonathan's surgery on his brain tumor last October went well.  In the months following Jonathan continued to have some symptoms he was experiencing prior to his brain surgery . An MRI  revealed that fluid had returned to his brain tumor which required a second procedure to remove the fluid and insert a tube.  After 2-3 weeks of healing he started treatment to shrink the nodule in the tumor.  
  • Mary Jane Phillips - In late April Mary Jane had what appeared to be a mini-stroke type of event that has effected her ability to community even more. Please be in friend for MJ as this has brought a new level of frustration as she also has lost the ability to write. Pray for her dear friend Karen Schaff and others who minister to her on a regular basis, and for MJ that she continues to feel the Lord's presence and strength as she faces this trial.  Previous Update: 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, Canton, OH 44708) and would still benefit from visits. Be in prayer for MJ and her family.
  • Billy Harvey is in kidney failure and is in AlterCare of Louisville.  Pray for him (as well as the Dan and Tracy) during this difficult time.
  • Rita Forsythe has been moved into hospice care. Please pray for Tom and the family during this time.
