lambs in need of prayer

A of the family from one of the Hispanic Apex missions is in need of prayer. Maria’s grandfather has Alzheimer’s. They moved him from Miami a couple of weeks ago. Her father has had to quit his job to watch his father. They had to call the police Monday because he was lost overnight. He was found safely but they ask for prayers for a facility to take him. He does have Medi (care or card, not sure which or both), but his cards were stolen in Miami. They are trying to reinstate his cards as well as apply in NC.
Maria has had to quit her job due to a high risk pregnancy, gestational diabetes, asthma, and high blood pressure, with possible preeclampsia.
They are under quite a bit of stress and are asking for prayer.
We thank Jesus this family accepted Jesus a year ago, so they know “In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world —John 16:33”, sometimes it is hard to believe it though.

Bob Harris called from Wake Med this morning. He has been seen by one of his UNC doctors, who just so happened to be at Wake Med. God is good!
His cancer has spread to his right lung. He has fluid around his left lung. The lung has collapsed. They are draining the fluid with a syringe. If that doesn’t work, he might be transferred to UNC where they will insert a drain tube.
He will meet with his oncologist to restart chemo, at an unknown date.

Mary Jo's mom died the 30th.
Mary Jo is doing well, sorrowful that she was not able to get to Chicago in time for one more good-bye, but knowing that was by God's design. She is asking for prayers specifically during the Wake hours. Please keep her and the family in prayer especially during those hours. Please pass this message on to those in your ministry, for we know the power of prayer.
