Beth C has started her final 2 weeks of her chemo by pill. She does have some side effects but with the end in sight she is able to deal with them. We hope and pray her diabetes will end when she finishes her treatment since it was one of the rare chemo side effects she’s experienced. It’s been a difficult journey for her and the family, but she has maintained a positive outlook. Thank you again for all your prayers and concern for her. It has meant so much to all of us.

(Also from Joel O) We also just received word that another member, Hideko Sekine, was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer. It has spread to other places as well. She was admitted yesterday (Jan 6) to the hospital and today she begins 3 weeks of aggressive chemo. They cannot do surgery or radiation. Though she is remaining positive and strong at this point, the prognosis is not good. Her daughter, Yukari (one of Hiro's good friends from university days) flew back from Abilene to spend a month. In addition to praying for Hideko san, it is Hideko and Yukari's desire that we pray for Hideko's husband (Yukari's dad), Atsuo san, and for Kazuya, their son (Yukari's brother) as they are not yet followers of Jesus.

(from Joel O) Ai completed her radiation treatments on Dec 29, and was able to then go home for the New Year's holidays after two months in the hospital. Her parents have been going down and staying and helping Ken out with the boys, and looking after meals etc. Her chemo treatments will continue for one more year, until Jan 2027 and she will also continue to have rehab for a while (I don't know how long). Ken sent Joel a few pictures. He said that the medication she is receiving has really helped with nausea, but I can also see she has lost some weight (although, overall, she looks better than I had expected). She has lost her hair on the top where the surgery was, and in the front, so she is wearing a winter hat all the time now. But they are feeling positive about her progress and her response, and definitely count each blessing from the LORD and His faithfulness.

Mike K (Violet K's brother) is still having the same issue (side effects) subsequent to his cancer radiation. His condition is called Radiation Proctitis. He is scheduled to see a specialist this coming month. Prayers for healing would be so greatly appreciated!

Beth W has surgery scheduled for January 12. Please keep her and her family in your prayers.

From Jeff Davison…. We have lots of reason to celebrate!! Jeff’s cancer marker is in the normal range and his CT came back “NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE”!!!!!!! To say that we are happy is an understatement!! He will need to be monitored and have repeat bloodwork and A CT every 3 months which feels like a huge a win!!! Thank you all for the meals, the messages, the visits, the coffee chats, the prayers, the love and support!! Please keep him in your prayers as he begins “getting back to normal”💜💜💜💜

Update on Harold E Harold is doing well, walking & going for eye rehab now. He's done a few different rehabs but is doing more on his own now. His mind is still sharp, remembers everything especially about all his trips.

(Typhoon Fung-wong - Philippines & Taiwan) Lord, please be with everyone waiting to be rescued, keep them safe, and bring help to them soon. God, bless each and every person affected by this storm and surround them with Your love, protection, and angels. Let them know there are millions of us out here praying for them and their loved ones.

As of October 7, Dorothy J (Wayne's mom) has moved to a "transitional" retirement home in Niagara Falls, River Road Retirement in Niagara Falls. She will continue to stay there until we are able to get her into a long term retirement home area (this could take several months or more depending on which homes we are interested in having her stay and the waiting lists involved).

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good for His steadfast love endures forever. (1 Chronicles 16:34) With grateful hearts and love, we (Judy & Marvin) give praise to God for your prayers, cards, visits, phone calls in the last months even as the recovery is ongoing. God in His faithfulness and His goodness is so so good, beyond all we can imagine. We rejoice in our family fellowship.

Ruby Ford had a bad fall and is suffering with chronic pain in her back. Please pray for healing.

For several weeks now, maybe months; I receive notification each weekfrom this prayer hub that someone just prayed for me. I don't know why, but thank you. Psalm 17:6

Please continue to pray for Charlie, (John’s dad), but also prayers of thanks for how well he has coped through everything. We are thankful for your prayers!♥️

THANK YOU GOD FOR MICAH 6 COMMUNITY!

Please remember all the families that are mourning loved ones.

Let’s continue to pray for Earl & Jori as they deal with Earl’s Alzheimer’s.
