Praise:

• We thank God for contacts made via our introduction to the Paducah area in September.
• Also, I thank the Lord for visible relief related to facial nerve problems which have caused numbness and semi-paralysis.. An MRI revealed a protruding disc which is touching the spinal cord and causing the problems. It is anticipated that continued chiropractic care can provide more relief.

Prayer requests:

• Please pray for continued wisdom on how to reach the Paducah community.
• Particularly pray for contacts I’m making as I reconnect with friends made in my childhood and youth whom I have not seen since then.
