Greetings Friends!
 
This is a short update to ask you to pray for us.  Martie was contacted by her gynecologist today concerning her recent exam.  Last August after a MRI, we were told that Martie had an apparent cyst on one of her ovaries.  After reviewing the MRI results and the results from her exam on Monday, her doctor called us recommending that she have surgery to remove what appears to be a rapidly growing mass near her ovaries.  An initial blood test indicated it did not appear to be cancerous, however the doctor has scheduled Martie for surgery on the 5th of December. Please pray that the Lord will bring healing, peace and assurance. She will be in the hospital for 2 days, followed by a 5 day recovery period.  She should be able to resume her regular schedule after about 3 weeks ... just in time for Christmas.
 
I would appreciate it if you could drop Martie a short e-mail to let her know that you are praying for her  health, healing, and recovery.  Her e-mail address is pathfindermsn@bellsouth.net
 
We praise God for you and your partnership in the Gospel

We want to thank you all for your prayers for Martie.  She was released from the hospital late yesterday afternoon (Sunday).  She is doing well.  The tumor was benign ... her surgery went well.  The doctor told us the day before the surgery that he had to do a complete hysterectomy.  She seems to be healing well and her spirits are good.  No infections or complications.  She will rest for a few days at Robert and Sue Lumpkins in Eclectic, AL.  She sees the doctor on Wednesday and then, the Lord willing, we will head back to Mississippi. 
 
Mitch and Sandy Reed from High Desert Church in California are minding the "store" and doing a wonderful job.  Thanks again for your prayers and words of encouragement. 
 
God is Good ... all the time!
 
Blessings on you
