Careen N

Careen is Phyllis' friend who has been facing some difficult situations in her life.
We prayed for Careen, her job, and that she may trust in Jesus to help her in life's
challenges.

TJ

TJ is Donna Pierce's sister-in-law who has been diagnosed with cancer.
We pray for comfort, healing, reliance on Jesus the Great Physician.

"TJ has gone through cancer a couple other times prior to her last diagnosis.  The last check she had was in October and they apparently didn't find anything at that point so they feel it is fast moving.  From what we understand, she has cancer in her lungs, uterus pelvis and rectal wall.  She started chemo and the information given us was that it is not curable and the chemo is only to buy some time for them.  She was having abdomen pain and has trouble keeping some foods down.  Dave, Brett's uncle, was concerned with their adoptive daughter Abby (recently turned six) and the effects on her.  Right now, the whole family could use the prayers as it was just a short few years ago they became a family with Abby and things are happening so quickly now with TJ.  We have been waiting for more updates through another one of Brett's aunts so it cuts down on the number of contacts and updates Dave has to give out for the family.  I think I may have said they lived in Michigan but that was not true - they have moved a couple times and I was obviously incorrect - they are in Twinsburg, OH so we will probably not see them until the end."

Jackie W

Jackie Williams is Joyce's friend.  She and her family have been having some tough times with their son.  Pray for strength, peace, God's provision for help for this situation.

Brittany V

Brittany Vollmer lost her family in a tragic car accident in February.  Her Father, Mother, Brother and Sister all died in the accident.

A college sophomore from South Dakota lost her entire family — two parents and two siblings — to a deadly car crash on Saturday.

Brittany Vollmer, a student at Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa, was away at school when news of the accident broke. Her 52-year-old dad, James, was driving the family’s 2005 Ford Explorer on Interstate 90, west of their home in Sioux Falls, S.D. His wife, Julie, 48, was sitting next to him in the front passenger seat, while two of their children, Alyssa, 16, and Caleb, 13, were buckled into the back of the SUV.

Around 5:15 p.m. on Saturday, the car swerved off the highway and struck a guardrail, the Argus Leader reports. It rolled down an embankment, then crossed over a dry creek bed, jumping from one side of the embankment and landing on the other. The force of the crash caused the vehicle to split in half.
