- From Jackie Scott: Thank you all who have been continuously praying for, praying with, supporting and encouraging me throughout my entire journey during Tony’s illness and passing. No words can express my level of gratitude. Some of you have truly gone above and beyond embracing me and applying James 1:27 "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." Please continue praying for my mother, Elizabeth Twitty, as she has been dealing with multiple digestive and breathing issues. She is steadily improving daily. We nearly lost her this past weekend but with the proper treatments she is close to being well enough to be discharged soon. Many of you have been praying for my dad, Aaron Fisher, as he battled a degenerative lung disease for several years. He passed away Monday (9/16). Funeral services are Monday (9/23). Thank you all again for all of the prayers, love, and support.
- Wendy Weir: Please pray for our sister Wendy Weir who was injured in a car accident this week and is recovering at home. Cards of encouragement can be sent to: 3439 Twelve Oaks Place Charlotte, NC 28270
- Tim and Charlene Franklin: Dear Family and Friends of Tim and Charlene Franklin, As you all know, Tim Franklin, our dear brother in Christ continues to recover at home from a long term illness, which has left him bedridden. Charlene has to work, pay for his nursing care, which is not all covered by insurance and serves as his caregiver after a long day of work. The cost for his care is not all covered by insurance and his medical care is very expensive. Please help our brother and sister in Christ by donating any amount you can. Your support would be greatly appreciated. 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
