Please pray for four year old Katie Beede, who had a cancerous tumor removed from her brain on June 22, 1998. The doctor thinks he got the entire mass, but there were tentacles throughout her brain. He said this was the worst kind it could have been. She's undergone radiation therapy, but the doctor has said the tumor has a nine out of ten chance of returning within five years and, at that point, nothing more could be done.

Pray for Breanna. Just last week we discovered that our two year old granddaughter, who has multiple problems due to being premature, has leukemia. Breanna has had to be put into a foster home for medically fragile children.

Prayers for Kris. This young woman has had chemotherapy, apparently successful, for Hodgkin's disease. She's to have scans done quarterly for the next five years. The first was yesterday, 10/2/98. God grant her and her family freedom from illness and peace as she faces the five years of waiting.

And, please pray for Vicky, a dear young friend who was found to have a mass in her breast last week. Her mother had bilateral breast cancer, so chances are that she, also, is a victim. Vicky takes care of another dear friend who is unable to even get to the bathroom on her own, and her biggest concern is not for herself, but for that friend and who will care for her.

Lastly, I ask you all to pray that our Lord will allow me to find my missing brother.
