Prayer Request for Mel Schrader

The following request was received by email this morning from Emaline Schrader, wife of Mel Schrader.

Family & Friends,

An update on Mel's CT scan. The 6 months treatment for Hep C failed and cancer has returned. He has two cancerous masses--one outside the kidney and one outside the bowel. It appears to be very aggressive and looks like surgery is not an option. An MRI is booked for trying to find where it is coming from and to decide if or what treatment is available.

Please add us to your prayer list and pray for us when we come to mind.

We certainly have proven that the God of the mountain is also the God of the valley and if we didn't have problems we'd never prove that He sure can solve them. Our future is secure in Him.

Thanks & many blessings,

Emaline

Nicole Doucette - prayer for cousin

Update - R. Thompson's cousin

An update came in from Rachel Thompson with regards to her cousin.  "Towards the end of last week the Drs were encouraged because she was taking small steps towards recovery. Over the weekend she has started to go back downhill and is not doing well. She is still in really critical condition and needs prayer for herself but also for her family."
