Pat Janke

The following is an update from Pastor Terry. Let us continue to lift Pat up in prayer:

It was confirmed today that Pat has Stage 4 colon cancer. It is treatable but first they must deal with the abscess.

She was admitted to Grace Hospital for surgery in the next few days, a diversion of her bowel to stop the bacteria from feeding the infection (loop ileostomy). They will also attempt to drain the infection.

She will likely be in the hospital up to two weeks. Please pray that this procedure could happen soon and be successful.

Tim Dyck

From Tim Dyck: Yesterday we got part of the plan. The tumor is presenting a bit more difficulty in that it is touching the main artery, but is still thought to be Borderline Resectable. Biopsy, chemo, surgery, and then more chemo is the plan. Your prayers for us, and conversations with us are appreciated. Thank you.

Tim Dick

Follow-up to my prayer request of Jan 18th. The doctor writes that the ERCP results of Jan 18th suggested that this is a tumor of the head of the pancreas. Results from my MRI on Jan 21st are pending. The doctor-consult is being postponed from today (Jan 23) to Feb 8th to allow for doctor's review of MRI results and other colleague input.

I’d also like to share the following thoughts in this: I'm not disturbed about the delay for the consult, it's more that I'd just like to know what the tests are showing. I've been feeling better yesterday and today, and many of the symptoms are starting to decrease in severity and frequency. I am at peace with God in my circumstances, He owes me nothing, but He gives me grace that is enough as always. Your prayers, and those of many others, are deeply felt. I don't take for granted the fact that, though people pray, still some live and some die (and eventually we all die). But what I never want to lose is the knowledge that God is good, even when I don't understand. A couple of phrases that have been on my mind are 1) "To everything there is a season..." (Ecclesiastes 3), 2) God's grace is sufficient for me.

Tim Dyck

Prayer Request for Tim and Vicki Dyck

In December, Tim had a CT scan done showing gall and kidney stones that are causing blockage issues.

Another CT scan on Jan 14 showed high level of liver enzymes, indicating blockage; enlargement of the bile duct and of the pancreatic duct, also indicating blockage; and a "small subtle mass in the pancreas". There is a chance that the mass could be cancer.

Today, Tim has an ERCP for a bit of fluid release, and analysis of the blockage areas and of the pancreas, so the doctor(s) can assess the next steps, if any, that would be appropriate in his case.

Currently, he has many symptoms, including: severe fatigue, whole-body itching, nausea and weight loss.

Please keep Tim and Vicki in prayer as they journey through these health concerns. Prayer for their overall well-being, wisdom, peace, and restoration are appreciated.

The Lord was so good…giving people faith to trust and follow Him. It’s exciting and joyful work to bring Good News!

Also remember in prayer Chelsea, sick for 7 years, weak, but with a strong faith. Physically tires easily, but is better than she was a year ago. Doc says it will be another year or more for full recovery.

Richard Salas

Tonight I will fly back from Cuba to Toronto. The original plan was to get back to Winnipeg on Wednesday night. The reason for coming home early is because my wife Miriam's mom has been in the hospital and the doctors have informed us that she is in her last hours of life. Please pray for Miriam. It is hard to be away from her at this time, so I appreciate your prayers and support.

Thank you dear friends for praying for my brother in-law.

His surgery, which was scheduled for this morning, was cancelled yesterday evening,

due to shortage of beds. The hospital didn't have any information

when the surgery will be rescheduled.

Although very frustrating, our Lord is in control.

Please, please pray for my brother in-law Roman Kohoot. He is going for hip surgery on Tuesday.

My brother in-law is very sick. He is a dialysis patient and goes for kidney dialysis treatments three times a week. In addition, he has many other health problems. He's going into this surgery by faith. Please pray that he will not get an infection because his immune system is compromised.

Pray that the surgery will go well and for wisdom for the surgeon who will be performing the surgery. Also, please pray for my sister for God's comfort and peace.

Recently I asked for prayer for Rea to become a believer. Thank you, because she has now prayed to ask Jesus into her life!

Olivia has also asked Jesus into her life (both of them two days apart).

They need to keep believing and to grow.

And there are more that need Jesus.

My daughter Chelsea is still sick, and improvement is slow coming. Please pray for her.

Last night, Sunday August 20, Bogdan's mother peacefully passed away in her sleep at the care home in Poland.

Bogdan and his sister are thankful that God called her peacefully in her sleep. Bogdan is also very grateful that he was able to visit his mom in May.

He and his sister are also grateful for all the prayers during the difficult process placing their mother in the care home. God has been so faithful in taking care of many of the complicated details.

Sieg Neumann

Good news from Wendi Neumann: So we are praising the Lord that Sieg was able to come home today with a newly implanted loop recorder to monitor his heart. He was so thankful! He has had issues with a very sore back these last few days which was expected considering the fall. So they did a couple of x-rays and there are no broken bones just bruises. We are thanking the Lord for this as well. Thanks for all the love, prayers and messages from the church family.

Harry Pohl

Prayer request from our NBA missionaries Paulo and Lyndell

Please pray for Paulo and Lyndell's church which is going through a difficult time. Also, please pray for Fany who continues to struggle with cancer and needs special medication which is very costly. Her doctor was able to provide one month's prescription for free, praise the Lord for that. Meanwhile they're waiting for the lawyer to move the mandate to make the medication free of cost. Please pray that the government will free up this medication.

Paulo and Lyndell are also asking for prayers to help them with a suicide incident in their church. Please pray for wisdom as they comfort and counsel the grieving family who just recently accepted the Lord and started to attend their church. Although at times they feel helpless, they continue to cling to the promise that God's grace is enough and that He is strong when we are weak.

They thank us for upholding them in our prayers. They wouldn't be able to make it without them.
