As of 11/17/25 (8:00 PM)
  • Tracy Holmes' Mother had brain surgery on the 13th. Everything went well, but the next morning she fell out of her hospital bed somehow onto the floor, then had a seizure and bleeding on the brain. Please pray for comfort and peace for her and the entire family.
  • Terry Zook (Update 11/17) - Terry had a follow-up appointment with her surgeon today and the report was good! All staples have been removed and the surgeon is fairly confident her adhesions will not return and that she will not have blockages in the future.  
  • Jean Smithley (Update 11/13) Jean had a good visit with the doctor at Cleveland Clinic this week. The doctor was positive they could come up with a plan to treat the tumor and get her living on her own again. (Update 10/28) - Jean got the results of the most recent MRI today (Tues 10/28). There is a 25% increase in the size of the tumor since her last MRI in July, which showed the tumor was almost completely gone which indicates that the immunotherapy did not work as we had hoped. The next course of action is a referral to a specialist at the Cleveland Clinic. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
  • Jeff & Cara Haley's daughter, Katherine, who had a heart transplant a few years ago, now needs to have a very critical procedure on December 17. They need to go through a vein to get to the heart valve.
  • Anne Zornes (Update 11/3)- After a longer than expected spine surgery on Thursday (10/30) and spending some time in Aultman recovering, Anne is now recovering at home.  Continue to pray for her and Trace as she recovers.
  • Mary Jane Phillips (update 11/2).  Mary Jane was released to go home from Mercy Hospital this past Friday. Continue to pray as she regains strength and as her body recovers from being on multiple antibiotics for infections.  She went to the ER  at Mercy the evening of 10/23 after being found collapsed on the floor of her room at the Canton Regency. She was eventually admitted and treated for pneumonia and sepsis and spent some time in the ICU. She then spent almost a week in a step-down unit at Mercy.
  • Jonathan Amrhein - Jonathan's surgery on October 13th went well. Jonathan had been having some symptoms he was experiencing prior to his brain surgery this past summer. An MRI  revealed that fluid had returned to his brain tumor which required this second procedure to remove the fluid and insert a tube.  After 2-3 weeks of healing he will start chemotherapy or other medication to shrink the nodule in the tumor.
  • Janie Fausnight's Sister (Sheila) is having major health issues. Please pray for her both physically ad spiritually, and for Janie as she seeks to love and serve her family.
  • Paula Moore as she is now living back at home but has several health challenges.
  • Jake Hatcher as he continues to recover from extensive back surgery and battles ongoing pain.
  • Billy Harvey is in kidney failure and is in AlterCare of Louisville. He was scheduled for a consultation at University Hospital on 6/23 for a potential transplant. Pray for him (as well as the family) during this difficult time.
  • Rita Forsythe has been moved into hospice care. Please pray for Tom and the family during this time.
