Prayer Request from March 6

Our Dear Friends and Family,

2 Corinthians 1:2-7; 1:11
"Grace and peace be to you from God our father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from god. Just for as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also share in our comfort." 
"As you help us by your prayers. Then many give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in the answer to the prayers of many." 

We thank you for all the comfort and prayers you have been sending our way.

As many of you know we have had an urgent need with in our family. Josh had an electrical accident. 

He was admitted to the burn unit at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids on Saturday afternoon March 1. He received 3rd degree burns on both his hands and damage was done to his right forearm muscles. He went into surgery Sat. night to relieve the pressure on his right forearm and hand. The surgery went well and they went in again on Monday to check out the muscle and remove any that had died due to lack of blood flow. They are planing to check the arm again this week to hopefully finish removing the dead muscle and to begin closing the hand. He is also on a respirator because his lungs aren't working properly.

The burns and damage to his arm also caused his kidney's to go into stress so they are functioning overtime and he might have to go on dialysis to clean them out and get them functioning at the fullest potential.

We covet all your prayers and encouragement at this time. 

Here are some specific prayer request.
1. Miraculous Healing 
2. Joy mostly for Josh this is going to be a long road of recovery 
3. Courage for all of us as we face this together
4. Safety back and forth to Grand Rapids
