Prayer Requests: Phil Dick and Dave Hobert

As distributed by e-mail this morning to the Real People ABF of Winona Lake Grace Brethren Church by Denny and Judy Daniels:

Please pray for Phil and Becky Dick. Phil will have CT scans done on Monday, Aug. 14, with an appointment to review the scans on August 17. Becky starts school on the 16th, so this will be a full week for them. Please pray that the scans will show that the cancer is shrinking and that the medication has been effective. A good way to keep up on Phil’s progress is to check their blog at http://www.caringbridge.com/cb/visitAPage.do (type in phildick).


Pray also for Dave and Susie Hobert in France. Dave will be having a colectomy on September 15 in Dijon. He says, “This is strictly preventative because of the high risk of colon cancer in my case. [Dave had a liver transplant in 2002.] We have been very thankful for the good counsel from French and American sources and for the excellent care that I have received here. The surgeon expects an 8 to 10 day hospital stay and 4 to 6 weeks of convalescence. As you pray, please remember the Montceau church, the emerging leaders, and outreach to Paray-le-Monial and its surrounding area. Thank you very much for your prayers and partnership in mission!”
