Jane Krutz – Little Rock, Arkansas
As we noted in our last newsletter, Jane has been very, very sick. She’s had some internal bleeding, and the doctors so far haven’t been able to find out what the problem is. She’s lost over 25 lbs and is so weak. And recently, they took her blood pressure, and it “through the roof” so they rushed her to the hospital. She’s been in/out of the hospital at least 6 times and although her blood pressure has stabilized, she told me, “Gary darlin’, if they don’t find out what is causing this, I know I’m going to die!” Please pray for my adopted Mama, ok?
Special unspoken request.
There’s a couple that are dear friends of mine that are having major problems and are considering divorce. I cannot reveal anymore than this, not even the area where they are living. I’ve known them along time, and they are precious to me. They have been some of our most faithful ministry partners, and my heart literally aches for them and their family. Please know that I wouldn’t be asking prayer for them if it were not so serious, ok?
Reverend Stuart McWhirter – Corydon, Indiana
After a very long and courageous battle with cancer, Stuart’s wife Ellen has followed the advice of their doctors and he is now under the care of hospice. I simply cannot find the words to express to you the positive influence and impact that they both have had on my life. Stuart is, without a doubt, one of the most gifted and eloquent God-called evangelist that I have ever known or worked with and only heaven will reveal the thousands of lives that he has touched and won to Christ! Please pray for Ellen and their family as they adjust emotionally to Stuart’s eminent Home-going. I thank you on their behalf.
Kevin & Linda Leidig – Harrison, Indiana
I am so grateful that God has blessed me with such great friends and ministry partners like Kevin & Linda. They truly love the Lord, and have served Him faithfully. Recently, they asked me for advice and prayer for a very difficult family issue that they have been dealing with, and my heart goes out to them. I cannot discus all the details, but it has to do with a “Prodigal” situation. They have done all that they can do, and are asking God to intervene. I’m praying for them. Will you do so also? I know they will really appreciate it.
Buddy Adams-Mobile, Alabama
Received an update from his wife Lillian, and although Buddy is doing a little better he has to go on dialysis three times a week. Needless to say, it is very difficult for him and he gets discouraged. She has requested prayer and I'm asking you "prayer warriors" out there to put this on your prayer list. Thank you for caring.
Phil Holwey - Harper Woods, Michigan
Phil was my vocal coach when I was in the entertainment business, and we’ve always stayed in touch over these many years. He, and his precious wife Yvonne, mean everything to me. I spoke with him just before Christmas and he related to me that the doctors have found some cancer in his bladder. After taking treatments they think it’s under control, but they would welcome our prayers. Please keep these special friends of mine on your prayer list. Thank you so much.
The LORD is near to all who call upon him .
who call upon him in truth"
