Please pray for George, his teenage daughter of 17, and his 6-yr-old son. George has been struggling with chemo for lymphatic cancer for 5 months. He and his wife were in real estate, so we can assume times are tough financially, as well. Four weeks ago his wife didn't feel well .... went to the hospital and never came out. She died a few days ago of lymphatic cancer herself. She was 58 (with no known symptoms). What is sadder is the kids were all born here, but all known relatives are in South America and all they have left is their struggling father. After the Lord brought the situation to light (through an altercation between my friend and the daughter), our friends are pulling together and cooking meals, keeping close to the family. Jesus is so amazing. The girl, crying she buried her mother Thursday and no one cares (but no one knew anything was wrong), now is calming down because of all the kindness of strangers. We are all joining together praying for an Easter miracle.
Kevin (from our feedings) is detoxing at Coral Springs Medical and can't believe how good he feels sober for the first time in a long time ....
Rocky (off the streets and sober for 5 yrs because of the Thursday feedings) has asked for prayers for a job so he can stay off the streets. His last one recently closed down.
Gary, of course, is going Tuesday to get his results.
PRAISE REPORT/Answered Prayer: I want to thank Diane for working in communion last Thursday. I was there the first time she brought it for everyone years ago and the effects were so powerful. One girl in particular, V., a crack addict, who had been beat up that day, collapsed into my arms and asked to receive Jesus through the communion. I never saw her again but have gotten reports over the years .... she is off the streets.
I left there one Holy Thursday (with no communion) to go to a mass at a Catholic Church, was late and they sat me right by the altar with the biggest baskets of communion I ever saw. I broke down and could not stop sobbing because I knew our friends needed it more than most and nobody cared. This Holy Thursday they were served (thanks to Diane and all her efforts) and just about everybody was excited and received. Thanks Di - know it was a lot of preparation but it was such an answer to prayer.
Happy resurrection to all - Love, Kathy
