Stacey Buckamneer – Glenpool, Ok.
As I mentioned in our January 2018 newsletter Stacey is the
33 year old daughter of Keith & Cindy Wilson who are longtime and
faithful ministry partners of GHEA, Inc. and very special friends of mine. For
over a year now Stacey has been dealing with very, very serious auto immune
issues that has truly been a real ordeal, to say the very least. Personally, I
can’t begin to imagine all that she (and her family) has had to go through and
are still dealing with at the present time. I have been praying faithfully for
her and her husband Josh and their entire family.
The last update that I received from Keith is she is now
back home, but they still need our prayers. I thank you on their behalf.
Dr. Charles Self - Colorado Springs, Co.
Again, as mentioned in our last newsletter Dr. Self has
just retired from Nazarene Bible College after teaching there for many, many
years. Only heaven will reveal all the lives/students that he has touched and
impacted for Christ! Well, for over a year and a half his battle with cancer
continues as he has gone from one treatment to another. Recently, when I spoke
at the Cornerstone Community COTN I had the opportunity of a brief visit with
Dr. Self and his wife Kathy. He is still taking treatments and we are
all hoping and praying that this will be successful. I have prayed for this
precious couple faithfully, and I sincerely hope you will as well.
Special Unspoken Request
There is another
dear friend of ours who is also battling cancer. I asked for permission to put
them on our Prayer-Line a few times but was asked not to do so as they are so
consumed with dealing with this difficult situation that they just do not have
the luxury of time to handle all the phone calls, texts, emails, cards, etc.
that I know they would receive and to answer them all, and the last thing that
they would want is to disappoint or offend anyone. I know it’s not easy to pray
for unspoken requests because we don’t have all the information regarding the
same. However, God knows who it is, so please voice your petitions to Him, ok?
Believe me, if it wasn’t vitally important, I wouldn’t be asking you to honor
this request, ok? Thank you.
Gary & Marti Haines – Colorado Springs, Co.
Good news, back in March Marti had both cataracts removed and
although she had some discomfort she is doing great and we’re so glad that she
is. She’s needed to have this done for quite some time now, and thankfully it’s
finally over. I’m really proud of her, because it is a little stressful
whenever we have surgery, but she handled it well, and her eye sight has really
improved. PTL! Initially, we were going to have her eyes done first, and then
my serious eye issues came up and we had to adjust accordingly.
Regarding my latest update, I’ve been through
5 eye surgeries since last August and it’s been quite a journey. However, I,
too, have some good news, but some bad news as well. Bad news, my left
eye has permanent damage. However, the good news is, after 3 surgeries
the eye pressure (normal is 12-20), which was 52 is now 13 with 20/50 vision!
And the right eye is now 20/20 with eye pressure of 16! Finally!!! PTL! Both of
us cannot begin to thank you all enough for all the love, concern, prayers, and
support that you have given to us through all of this, and please know just how
grateful we are both to our Lord and to you, ok? Thank you!!!
