I have children on my mind today…
July 13th, 2007At Sacred Heart Hospital here in Pensacola one of our young couples had a baby this week and there are some serious complications. Little Cori has some lung and heart issues. They may be on the way to Emory in Atlanta for help. Not sure yet but the situation is critical. Pray for Robert and Shannon Carver.
Our good friends from Romania had hoped to return home next year to resume their work. As you know their daughter,Tori, has had cancer and Elijah and his family is in Texas until their young daughter is well enough to go back to Romania. This week doctors are trying to determine just when she might be fit to leave the states. Preliminary reports look like the stay in the U.S. could be extended. Pray for the Soritau family.
Susie Kepner is a lovely young lady in our church from Costa Rica. She is married to Tyler. They are very active for Jesus in the ministry of our church. In her parents’ church in Costa Rica a 3-year-old boy named José has heart complications. They are trying to raise money to have him flown to Boston for treatment. While some in our land complain about healthcare it is still a great place of hope for many around the world. If you would like to help Susie in this matter you can call her at 850-748-7894. She will be delighted to tell you more about the financial need and how you might help.
If you have healthy children and grandchildren this day pause and give thanks.

Pastor,
I too have had children on my heart and mind. For the past two weeks, I have done my pediatric clinicals at Sacred Heart Hospital. Oh, the tragedys behind those walls and yet there is also so much hope and healing. Never is a heart more open and tender, than when illness touches a little one.
It is a privilege to touch and pray for a child.
