Pastor Alf Bell

Pastor Alf has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma (bone cancer). Praise God that the prognosis appears to be positive, with the cancer being manageable for long-term. Alf is currently at Health Sciences Centre where he will be receiving a number of treatments between now and Thursday. He will likely be transferred back to Victoria Hospital after that point. Right now Alf is in RR655 and is very open to visitors. Please pray for peace for both Alf and Marie during this time.

WRBC @ Prayer: Attawapiskat Suicide Crisis

Attawapiskat is a Cree First Nation Community in northern Ontario with a population of approximately 2000 residents. The community has declared a state of emergency as they deal with an epidemic of suicide attempts among its young people.

Since September 2015, over 100 suicide attempts have been made with 28 being in the month of March alone. Both provincial and federal government response teams have been sent to the community to deal with the crisis. While these measures will assist the community in dealing with the emergency situation that exists today, a long term plan must be developed to address the suicide problem.

What to pray for....

*The people of Attawapiskat particularly young people who have a sense of hopelessness and consider suicide a solution to feelings of desperation.

*Health workers in the community who have been working tirelessly in the community. Pray for strength, wisdom and insight as they address the immediate needs facing the community.

*Long term solutions to address the problems faced by Attawapiskat and so many First Nations communities which include poverty, inadequate housing, contaminated water and a lack of educational and employment opportunities.

*Sensitive and compassionate hearts for those of us in the non-Aboriginal community toward our fellow First Nations citizens.

Steve Morris

God is good! Thank you to all that have been praying for Steve Morris's father (Norm). Surgery went well Sunday Feb 28th and motor control quickly rebounded. The cause was a severe concussion due to two falls, and total recovery will be quite slow and his neurosurgeon has put severe limits upon his fathers activities for three months.

Please pray for continued healing, patience in the waiting and peace that God has all of this in His absolute control. Also pray for strength for Steve's mother (Shirley) in the extra caring required in this situation.

Steve and Barb Morris

Please pray for Steve (and Barb) Morris' father.

He is in the midst of a rapid decline in his health to the point that he has been rushed to the hospital this (Sunday) morning due to lack of motor control on the right side of his body.

He has received a CT scan at Kelowna General this morning, and has extensive bleeding between his brain and the skull.

Doctors and surgeons will be drilling a hole - potentially two - to relieve pressure on Sunday afternoon while Steve and Barb are in flight returning from vacation.

Please pray for wisdom for the doctors, strength and peace for both Steve's mom and dad, and for the Lord's presence to be palpable.
