Thank you for praying for the following with us:

- Urgent prayer is needed for Sandra, who has been in intensive care in a hospital in Ireland for almost 4 months, that the cause of her recent severe bleeding from her tracheostomy would be discovered and healed.  

- Also pray that the Lord will heal her with damaged kidneys &  the other things necessary for her to be able to be airlifted back to Australia.

- Pray that as we travel on a weekly basis to visit with Noel, her partner that opportunities will continue to open to share the gospel as a friendship relationship is built.

- Pray for Noel and Sandra for salvation.
