Prayer Request for Brother-in-law
Self-Shery
Posted on 02/18/2007 1:03:12 AM PST by Shery
Prayer request for a VieNam Vet...
TOPICS: Your Opinion/Questions
KEYWORDS: missionary; surgery; vietnamvet
My brother-in-law, a VietNam vet who lost both legs in that conflict, is in need of triple by-pass surgery...soon. At present, they are trying to get the VA to allow him to have the surgery in the land they are serving as missionaries. It would be very expensive for him to travel all the way home to Virginia for the surgery at this time because they have just put out a lot of money for their visas, language school, and paperwork...trying to establish an orphanage, and they have 12 of their adopted children with them, as well. Please pray that the VA grants them the go-ahead to have the surgery done at a hosptial near them. It is a very reputable hospital, so there is no concern about having the procedure there as opposed to in the USA.
Thanks,
Shery

Heavenly Father, we praise You for the willingness of this couple to bring the love of the Father to the fatherless. Bless their ministry beyond expectation, that others might see Your care and concern for the widows and orphans and seek to know You through the salvation of Jesus Christ.
May it be, Merciful Father, that You will work through every detail and set aside every hindrance, that successful surgery will be performed where he serves. We thank You for Your every provision, for You have promised to supply our every need according to Your riches in Glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19. To You be all Glory, Honor, and Praise, now and forevermore, Amen ...

I am praying. You know, after the surgery he will be a much healthier person and have more energy. He just needs to get this behind him and then it's uphill from there.

Prayers up! What an inspiring brother-in-law!
BTW, if he gets turned down for no other reason than bureaucracy, I think you should go to the media with this. Either media heat on the bureaucracy may turn it, or people may respond with the required cash contributions.

Holy cow! what a story. God bless that wonderful family & hopefully the surgery will be approved so he doesn't have to travel. It is comforting to know but those surgeries are thankfully almost routine now (when it is on someone else, of course!!!)..
thanks for letting us know & please keep us updated.

To: Shery; Kitty Mittens
Holy Father,
You know every need of this humble and generous man and his family. Surely You have seen his work on behalf of the needy, delivering the message of Jesus Christ to the lost. O Lord, show him the way through this tangled web so that he receives the healing You already provided for him through Your Son's death on the cross. Grant him clear direction and place in the hearts of the decision-makers Your wisdom so that all his needs are accommodated. We exalt You, O Lord, for Your marvelous work in this precious man and his family, and we confess our trust in You that You will bring wonderful blessings to them in the midst of this trial. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
