From the desk of Ginger Bell, Director of Family and Alumni Relations:

Please continue praying for Christi Zimmerman.  As we mentioned a couple of weeks ago, Christi went to Israel last week for the second phase of the stem cell treatment being done to slow the progression of her ALS.  Well, while in Israel waiting for the procedure, she received a message from the hospital that due to political reasons, they would not be able to continue the treatment.  As usual, Christi is trusting her Father to guide her through this situation and we are praying for just that.

We also have an update on sweet Emma Davis.  The doctor did determine she will need to have a rod placed in her arm to stabilize the situation caused by her condition, Fibrous Dysplasia.  Please continue to pray for healing and peace for this family.
