- Venezuela: Please continue to keep the people of Venezuela in your prayers following the devastating recent earthquakes that have impacted the nation. Pray for God's comfort and peace for families who have lost loved ones, protection and strength for first responders and relief workers, healing for those who were injured, and provision for those who have been displaced from their homes. Please also pray for wisdom for government leaders and aid organizations as they coordinate recovery and rebuilding efforts, and that God's presence would be felt in a powerful way throughout the country during this difficult time.
- From Michelle Jones - Mama Joyce's Update: According to the surgeon, Mom's amputation wound is healing well. As long as it continues to heal, her incision staples will be removed next Thursday. She's also doing great at physical therapy. They told her they believe she has what it takes to walk again on prosthetics. We will be living at rehab for at least 2 more weeks. We continuously trust God's process and cannot say enough how appreciative we are for your prayers and donations.💕 https://mealtrain.com/vdmg1g
