Prayer Requests
Jacquelyn Grant's Uncle
SEPTEMBER 20, 2023
Hello, Grandview family. My Uncle Vern (my husband's Uncle) has liver cancer. He has been through chemotherapy treatments, and unfortunately, there has been no change. The doctors have told him there is no more to be done. He has about 6 months to live. Vern is an atheist and does not believe in God. Please pray for his healing and comfort for his daughter, Sue. Please also pray that God would reveal Himself to Vern and he would accept Jesus. Thank you, Jacquelyn
Passing of Lori Woodley’s Father
SEPTEMBER 18, 2023
My Dad passed away at home on September 13. Please pray for my Mom as she grieves. Also for wisdom and clarity as she makes decisions about life without my Dad. My brother and I also would covet prayers as we try to support her. Praise for how God’s hand has been upon us throughout Dad’s illness and the opportunities to share the gospel with non-believing family members. Thank you for praying! Lori
Mary Jane Goudy's Friend
SEPTEMBER 17, 2023
My good friend and sister in Christ has recently moved with her daughter and her family to Alberta. Ginny has custody of her grandson, Jordan and he is with her as well. The move has been difficult as the 2 families adjust to living under one roof. Ginny and Jordan are asking for prayer for emotional and physical health and for peace in all circumstances. Thank you, Grandview family. MJ Goudy

Judy Stewart's Grandson
Judy's 10-year-old grandson was diagnosed with toxic shock syndrome in the latter part of July and was admitted to the ICU and then moved the pediatric ward at McMaster Hospital.
UPDATE - SEPTEMBER 8, 2023
Thanks for all the prayers on Seth's behalf. The specialist said the surgery went well. His pain was from his body not liking the presence of a 'dead' bone in the clavicle area. There was no infection! He is on meds and needs to recuperate. Thank you again for your prayers. Judy
UPDATE - SEPTEMBER 6, 2023
Please pray for my grandson, Seth, who is having surgery this evening at McMaster to remove the abscess on his clavicle bone and clean out the area to prevent any further infection there. Thank you. Judy
UPDATE - AUGUST 9, 2023
With thankfulness, we can report that Seth (age 10) who had been admitted to McMaster on July 24 was discharged on August 7. After 2 weeks of intravenous antibiotics, he is back with his family with 4 weeks of oral antibiotics. Please pray that the staph infection will remain under control and that it will not resurface. Thanks from his family and myself. We are carried by our Great Physician. Judy

SEPTEMBER 4, 2023
Please pray for LaVonne’s husband, Bob who had a heart episode on the weekend, and for both Bob and LaVonne as this was a very stressful experience. Thankfully, Bob is doing much better and is recovering in the hospital where he will be for at least another week. Thank you for your prayers.

Please continue to pray for Elizabeth who is still in the hospital. She now has high blood pressure.

JULY 31, 2023
We are asking for prayer for my Mom, Lynn. She has been experiencing a lot of abdominal pain. After some imaging, they found a 15cm mass in her abdomen. An oncologist will be doing surgery in London mid-August (no firm date yet) to remove it. After it is removed, there will be testing to determine if more treatment is needed. Mom is quite anxious about surgery so please pray for peace leading up to the surgery and for her recovery. Thank you for your prayers. April
