Ryot Church of the Nazarene

We received a call from Liz requesting prayer for her sister in law Margaret Miller. Margaret had a dizzy spell and fell, cracking 3 ribs. She has been having other medical issues as well and is currently in the Bedford Hospital. We ask that you would lift Margaret up in prayer; pray that her ribs would heal completely and she would be relatively pain free. Pray also that her other medical issues would be resolved, that she would return to good health, and be able to return home as soon as possible. Thank you.

We have an update on the young man we prayed for this past Sunday Morning who was in a car accident. His name was Lincoln Brubaker and he is the nephew of Bill and Bobbi Brubaker. In the accident Lincoln suffered a broken Sternum, broken nose, broken pelvis in several places, a possible injury to his kidneys, a head injury, and was placed on a ventilator. He was transferred to Children’s hospital in Pittsburgh where Monday he underwent surgery to repair his pelvis, but due to issues related to his injuries was not able to make the repairs as they would have liked. He regained consciousness on Tuesday and the ventilator was removed. He is currently having lapses in his memory so they are scheduling an MRI.

We ask that you continue to remember Lincoln in prayer. Pray that he will be healed and make a full recovery. Pray that the medical team working with him will be empowered to do what is necessary to help his body heal correctly. Also pray for the family to be comforted during this time and that they will lean on their faith as they meet each new day.   

Thank You
