Health concern

Pray for the serious health issues of the ReachGlobal leader to Indonesia and wisdom for the medical team in the U.S. who are treating him. Ask God to guard his health and restore his energy, strength, and mental alertness so he can prepare and teach a class on prayer at his church on August. 21. Pray that when he sees the lung specialist on September 12, the report will indicate improvement and no sign of infection.

First day of post-op

Pray for strength, encouragement and rest for Betty, ReachGlobal personnel with CONNECT, who is recovering from surgery performed yesterday. Recent test results on her GI tract revealed a stricture. Praise that the doctors said the intestinal bypass surgery went very well. Please pray for minimal side effects from medication and that the Spirit will bring comfort, restoration and healing.

Health concern update

Pray for Martha, ReachGlobal personnel in Costa Rica, who has been undergoing chemotherapy for cancer. Her final treatment is December 20, and she will also have a PET scan. Pray that the scan will show no cancer as a result of five months of chemo. Pray that God would give Martha strength and endurance as she receives radiation treatments daily for six weeks. She will continue to receive intravenous smart drugs that attack just the cancer cells and not her healthy cells every three weeks until the end of October. Please pray that the side effects be minimal and for complete permanent healing.

Serious vision problems

Pray for Gloria, ReachGlobal personnel in Thailand, who is experiencing serious vision problems. Pray for excellent medical advice in the treatment she receives. There is no cure or care that will stop or change the progress at this stage. Gloria is using medicated eye drops that have alleviated most of the pain, but her vision is worsening. If she approaches blindness, there is an invasive procedure that the doctor might try. Please pray that Gloria won't get to that stage. Ask God to give her peace and trust in His plan.
