Prayer for girl in Haiti

Greetings in the precious name of Jesus our Savior!
I introduce to you Leicka Milord, she is 12 years old. She is one of the children we have supported since she was in kindergarten, now she is in secondary school. Her dream is to become a pediatrician and to be a part of New World Mission.
Last night she was diagnosed with a tumor in her head. According to what the Cuban specialist said it’s urgent to have a surgery now.
She needs your prayers and your assistance as the surgery will cost us $1,150.00 after discounts because of the New World Mission.
I know you love the Haitian children, do this for me and challenge others to do so. I love this child with the clear vision to be used in the kingdom of God.
We count on your prayers and your generosity to assist Leicka.
In His service,
Pastor Carlo Thomas

Hello All at Crossroads,

I am writing to give you an update on our boys. For those of you who might not know Tom and Jake were in a car accident on Friday night. There were 3 people in the car and unfortunately the driver of the car - 16 year old AD was killed. They were on a gravel road and going too fast - the car broke loose on some chatter bumps and the car hit a tree and caught on fire. They were on a very rural road that does not get a lot of traffic but the local dairy farmer, Ryan Heisler, and a good friend of Tommy's, Dustin McCarn who works for Ryan, saw the flames and came to the rescue by taking bucket after bucket of water to keep the fire down and they tried to get it out. Dustin was able to pull Tommy from the car but neither of them could get Jacob's legs out so they knew that they just had to make sure the fire stayed away from Jacob and AD as they could not get him out either. Both Tom and Jake were transported to Sparrow Hospital in Lansing.

Jake was later released that night with 2 very sore and beat up feet as well as many scraps and scratches on his arms and legs. He has a pretty good bump on the back of his head as well. As of today he is getting around pretty well and already trying to walk without his crutches. Please continue to pray for Jacob to heal body, soul, and spirit as he is not sleeping well because he was awake shortly after they hit the tree and his legs were pinned behind the drivers seat and he was very scared and afraid he was going to burn. He is having difficulty getting to sleep without living the accident over in his head.

Tommy was released from Sparrow's Pediatric ICU unit late Sunday night. He has a concussion, a broken rib, a laceration on his spleen, and a hairline crack on his pelvis. He is having a lot of confusion and short term memory loss at this time from the hit on the head. He will go see a neurologist in 2 weeks for another evaluation and a better prognosis. Please pray for all functions of his brain to return to normal. He is having more difficulty getting around as he rib and pelvis are causing him some pain. Fortunately(?) he does not remember anything after seeing the car head toward the tree so he is not seeming to have any nightmares. Please pray that they would process their friend's death by God's grace.

I want to thank everyone for all that you have done. "Uncle" Jon and "Aunt" Julie - you have been my rock and you always make sure the little details are taken care of. Lisa Taylor - thank you for arrainging the meals for our family, and to everyone else for your prayers you have no idea how comforting it is to know that there are spiritual warriors praying protection for your family, and lastly to Pastor Scott and Clare - thank you so much for you prayers and words of wisdom through this difficult time it is a great comfort to my family to have you in our lives - I can't even begin to express it.

One last thing, I would like to ask that you pray for AD's family. This was Kammie's only son and he was the world to her. Please pray for their family and that God would do a mighty work in their family through this tragedy.

Thank you for everything, we are very fortunate to have a great FAMILY in Crossroads Church.

High Blood Pressure

Sissy said...

Our daughter Jill Adams attends The Cross Roads church there in Marshall. Since October she has been suffering with high blood pressure(bottom number over110). She is under a lot just as so many are in this day, working a full and part time job and of course being a wife and mom.
She has been seeing a doctor but up to now they have not been able to get the blood pressure under control. Friday they put her on another medication, PLEASE PRAY that the medicine will work for her and that she can get back to feeling better.
