Dear Friends:

My friend Rich took a turn for the worse today and it is very likely that he will die. He is only 36. His wife is only 33. Their daughter is 2 1/2 and their son less than 1. Please pray for Rich, for his wife Katherine, his children Anna Maria and Theodore, for his parents, his sister, his grandparents, and his many friends.

In Christ,

Ryan

Praying for your friends: II Cor. 1:3-5 "Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 4Who comforteth us in all our tribulation...5For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ." And Is. 43:1,2 "Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
3 For I am the LORD, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;..."

Thanks be to God, Rich did show some improvement today. I saw him Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday. He seemed better when I saw him earlier today than on any of the previous visits I had made. He was awake during part of the time I was there. I talked to him briefly and though he cannot talk because of the breathing tube, he seemed to understand and attempted to respond through hand gestures. Please continue to pray.
