I just received this email: \u201cLast evening, Paula Marks, wife of Bob Marks [Bob is on the Chi Alpha national leadership team], had a brain aneurysm burst. She is currently in a coma in neuro intensive care unit and is unresponsive. Please keep Paula and the family in your prayers, they need a miracle.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
Please pray for Paula and Bob. They\u2019re both wonderful people (although I\u2019d ask you to pray for them even if they were scoundrels). FYI: Bob is on Chi Alpha\u2019s national leadership team and is a veteran missionary to France.<\/p>\n
UPDATE: On 12\/4 in the morning I received this email:<\/b>
\n\u201cMany of you are emailing me wanting a latest update on my mom.<\/i><\/p>\n
She is very ill and the doctor told us, that he is NOT seeing significant improvements.<\/p>\n
We are told that less than 1% survive this kind of aneurysm.\u2026<\/p>\n
That does not mean that our faith is gone! Unless God interferes she will pass on so we continue to pray for a divine miracle.<\/p>\n
Please pray with us for this miracle because I do know that God does perform miracles. <\/p>\n
Several of you want to know what to pray for specifically so here it is:<\/p>\n
The doctor wants to see if her lift 2 fingers on command and then he will recognize that she is not neurologically impaired.<\/p>\n
That is what I am praying for. I told her that last night and reminded her that her strength is in the LORD. PSALM 121 is what we have taped in her room\u2026we are also reminding her that it is \u201cNot by might, nor by power but by His spirit, says the Lord.\u201d Thank you for praying for her! \u201d<\/p>\n
UPDATE: on 12\/4 in the afternoon I received this message:<\/b>
\nWe just got a call from the hospital\u2026when the doctor asked Paula to raise
\nher two fingers- she did. <\/i><\/p>\n
Praise God for his answer to prayer! The family is very encouraged, but
\nPaula still needs our prayers for continued healing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
