I would like to ask you all to say some prayers for my sister, Elizabeth, and her 7 week old, Michael. Michael had surgery Tuesday and they found a tumor on his vocal cords. They shaved it down as far as they safely could, but it will keep growing back. He will need several surgeries to keep it under control, and right now it looks like every 4-6 weeks he will have surgery. I’m not sure exactly what it is called that he has, but it is very rare in such a young child. There are no other cases of this in the entire St. Louis area, and right now there is only 1 nurse down at Children’s that has experience with Michael’s condition. This will affect Michael throughout his life as far as speaking goes and breathing issues. He was discharged yesterday morning and was re-admitted late last night and is now in the Pediatric ICU at St. John’s. He was scoped this morning and it showed that he has quite a bit of internal post-op swelling. So, he is on breathing treatments with inhaled steroids, along with IV steroids. My sister is having a very hard time accepting and dealing with all of this. Please keep them in your prayers. Thanks.

I'd like everyone to pray for an event I am planning. It is the 2nd annual "Keeping Kids Safe and Families Strong" walk on April 12th in Forest Park. Our event goal was 963 participants, one for every substantiated case of abuse in the St. Louis area. Despite radio coverage, flyers, internet registration and much word of mouth, it looks like attendance may fall well short of this goal. I'd like everyone to pray for increased attendance as all the proceeds benefit Children's Advocacy Services a community outreach program that helps children who have been victimized by trauma.

Our 5 month year old nephew had abdominal surgery about a month ago and was taken back to the hospital last night because he was not able to keep any milk in his system...I ask that you pray for Michael Timothy , that God may continue to place him, my brother and sister-in-law in the best care possible....Amen.

For all of the high school seniors as they continue to discern where God may be leading them and that they generously accept His call to serve Him no matter what vocation they are being called to.
