Prayer Request for Karen & Joe Gummersbach UPDATE 2
Oct 18, 2025 - 8 months agoUPDATE 2-Karen had surgery and as of now all is going well. Please continue to pray for complete healing.
UPDATE: We need extra prayers for Karen. Dad just got a text from Karen that she has blood clots in her leg. They are waiting on a specialist to come and put a tube in her stomach so that the blood clots don’t get to her heart or brain. They can’t do the surgery until this has been done. Please pray for the surgeons who are taking care of her and doing the surgery that they know what they are doing and please pray for Karen’s health. Pray for Dad too as this is very difficult for him.
***previous***
Karen, Janice Cox Step -mom, was involved in an accident and is currently having a second surgery in her leg. She is 80 years old. Janice's dad, is 88 and they're re concerned over his health at this time as well.
Please agree with Janice for their healing, but most importantly that they will both give their lives to the Lord. Thanks! -
