Prayer Request and Updates

Please keep Lenoye Combs in prayer; he is doing well after surgery on his pelvic bone at UAT. Hopefully he’ll be discharged soon, but he’ll have about 6-8 weeks of therapy afterwards. He passes along that he is very thankful for all the prayers, he really appreciates it! Thanks to all of you who have been praying for him…please continue!

Prayer Request for Obie Fuller

Obie Fuller, our whistleblower, is in the hospital (East Alabama Medical Center in Opelika, AL). His doctor did a heart cath on him, and he has a blockage on the back side of his heart. He is scheduled for surgery on Tuesday at EAMC. He is in the hospital today waiting for surgery, as they wouldn’t let him go home. He has an 8 week recovery after the surgery, so he’ll be missing the trip this year. He is feeling fine otherwise, just bored because he feels like he needs to do something! 🙂 He would covet your prayers!

CFC board will be meeting soon to discuss whistleblower duties for this year’s trip. We’ll keep you posted.
