Urgent Prayer Request


We just learned that our good friend Blake Lightsey of Maryville FCM Church in Attalla, Alabama has been seriously injured in an accident at work. While Blake was working early this morning his hand was caught in a metal grinder causing his thumb and part of his palm to be ripped from his hand. The doctors were able to sew his hand back together, however they will have to wait several days before they know for sure if the surgery will be effective and if the thumb will have to be amputated. When Blake is awake he is in extreme pain so the doctors have him on several pain medications to keep him sedated. We ask that you keep Blake and his family in your prayers as they go through this trying time. Blake is a young preacher and we know that his faith is strong! Blake, we love you very much and we are praying for your speedy recovery! Terry spoke with Blake's sister Crystal and although her spirits were not the same she was able to remind us of this scripture.

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Matthew 5:44-45


We ask again that you all please remember all of the family; Mike, Tammy, Blake and Crystal in your prayers. We will keep you posted as more information becomes available.

Love,
Terry & Jessica
