Please Pray

Please pray for our very dear friends, the Canfield family from New York. Mr. Doug Canfield has pancreatic cancer and is coming to Johns Hopkins Hospital here in Maryland for surgery this Tuesday. The doctors are calculating that it will be a 10 to 12 hour operation.

We met the Canfields on a Faith and Freedom Tour about six years ago and love them so much! Pray that the surgery will be successful and God will grant grace to him, his wife and three daughters over this coming week and beyond.

Remember 911 Today

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honour him.

Psalm 91:15
