Clinton, Deborah

23-Dec-25

Debbie has informed us that once again God has answered your prayers. The podiatrist informed her that there is no danger of amputation at this time. Thank you all for your prayers on Debbie's behalf.

23-Dec-25

Debbie continues to thank God for the miraculous relief He has given to her. But now she is facing a new problem that is one of the dangers from diabetes. She has three toes that seem to be severely infected to the point she fears they may need to be amputated. Debbie is seeing the podiatrist this afternoon and would very much appreciate your urgent prayers for God's intervention and healing as only He can give.

Debbie writes,

God has mercifully and powerfully healed the horrific eczema issue. After much research I found that I had severe allergic reactions to all of the antibiotics and blood pressure meds that the medical providers administered. God led me to the cause, as I asked Him to do. Beginning last Sabbath, the night itching stopped, and finally, after weeks of illness with no sleep, I started to feel normal and as of today, my skin is clear!! This blessing and healing from God is beyond astounding...because the suffering was the worst experience I've had so far. Thank you to each and every brother & sister who labored in prayer for me!!

Fenwick, Shelly

19-Dec-25

Shelly's throat stopped hurting within a day or two of the last prayer request, but then it became sore again for a short time. Her ear was still clogged until Tuesday and still producing a ringing. She stopped using the medicated ear drops, after which her ear and hearing became unclogged. She went to an ENT today, who cleaned and vacuumed Shelly's ears said everything looked good. Shelly's throat is still slightly red, but almost all the pain in her ear is gone. She is very grateful for your prayers.

Henry, Howard (92)

29-Dec-25

Howard has been in and out of the hospital. He has lost 30 lbs. recently and is very weak. His arms are not working, his wrist and fingers are massively swollen, and his arm skin is horribly loose, but his doctors cannot figure out why. Howard feels it may be a blockage but the doctors do not agree with him. Please ask for God's guidance and healing. Thank you.

Hunt, Shirley

27-Dec-25

Shirley has a new strain of COVID that her doctor told her piggybacks on pneumonia. It is contagious, so she is asking that anyone who might want to visit to stay away until it has run its course. She is in significant pain and very uncomfortable, worse than yesterday. Please continue to pray for healing and a quick recovery. Thank you.

26-Dec-25

Shirley Hunt of Amarillo, Texas, has contracted pneumonia and is currently in the hospital. Please pray for her healing and complete recovery. Thank you!

King, Arthur and Pauline

23-Dec-25

Arthur reports that he has been blessed with small projects that keep the family going. However, the cellulitis in his legs has become aggressive and will need to be addressed by a visit to the doctor—a costly endeavor where they live. He is grateful for what God has provided and continues to provide, and would appreciate prayers for God's grace and encouragement. Thank you.

McClure, Judy

30-Dec-25

Ryan writes,

We were finally able to get my mom into an orthopedic center for X-rays and a formal diagnosis. The X-rays revealed that she has a compound fracture of her fibula and a second fracture in her ankle bone. The doctor sent her home with a "boot" for her left foot with strict instructions not to put any weight on it for at least another 10 days. We have another appointment set for the end of next week where they will take another round of X-rays to see how well the bone is healing. We are praying that God heals her bones as the alternative would be surgery to insert plates and screws. We appreciate your continued prayers!

25-Dec-25

Ryan McClure is requesting prayers on behalf of his mother, Judy, who fell off of a step stool last evening, hurting her hip and bruising her ankle. The family is not sure what the extent of the injury is at this point, other than major swelling and pain. Prayers for healing and comfort are greatly appreciated.

Morse, Emma

30-Dec-25

Emma reports that her pain is nothing like it was before—that it is essentially gone, though there is still some discomfort if she turns her neck a certain way. She has been told that the problem was arthritis, which she has dealt with for many years. She is very grateful for your prayers and for God's merciful intervention.

Onisick, Sharon

22-Dec-25

Bill writes,

Thank you for your prayers. After a very long day and multiple tests, appendicitis was ruled out. They found fluid and a very small mass which could likely be the remains of a ruptured ovarian cyst, which would explain the severe pain and pressure. Sharon has been released from the hospital and is feeling much better. She will see a local physician at home to monitor the situation. Again, thank you for your prayers and support!

Bill writes,

We reached shore in San Juan and are in an ambulance, heading to the hospital. Sharon is stable and comfortable. We’re hopeful it can be an easy microscopic removal (assuming it is the appendix). We should know more in a few hours. We appreciate your continued prayers for God’s will, strength and healing!

21-Dec-25

Bill writes,

Thank you all for your prayers! Sharon is stable and under the care of the ship's doctor. The pain is now bearable but he must limit the dosage so the pain will likely return. They will have an ambulance waiting tomorrow morning as we dock in San Juan, Puerto Rico. (It is a blessing that we will be arriving in a US territory tomorrow as that makes good healthcare more accessible). Please continue to pray for God’s will and for His comfort, strength and faith to persevere this trial.

21-Dec-25

Please pray for Sharon, who started experiencing abdominal pain yesterday and which got progressively worse through the evening. Bill and Sharon are on a Caribbean cruise and not close to any shore. Sharon is in the ship’s medical center, and the doctor believes this is appendicitis but requires scanning equipment to confirm it. Sharon is under pain medication while they wait to arrive at San Juan, Puerto Rico, in 24 hours (Monday morning). Bill writes, "Please pray for healing, pain relief and logistical assistance to get the care needed as soon as possible - all according to God’s will!"

Price, Shirley (94)

26-Dec-25

Please continue to pray for Shirley Price of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. She is continuing to experience severe pain due to her arthritis and from muscle pain in her lower back. In addition, she cannot get any sleep because as soon as she lies down, the pain intensifies. Please pray that she finds relief from the pain and can get some sleep. Thank you.

Simkins, Verna (79)

Verna writes,

Thank you so much for the prayer, cards, gifts, flowers and visits. I am slowly improving, but it is still a long way to normal.
