See the PENNLIVE coverage. Click on thumbnail.
People from Kim Beck’s church are in Uganda and the restaurant they were in was bombed. Kris Sledge was one of them and has a broken leg, Joanne Kerstetter was in surgery, her granddaughter is being flown back to the US because they wanted to amputate her leg. Two of the Africans–Peter and Francis–they can’t find. The bombing was on world news tonight. You can see more on the internet @ CNN. News keeps coming in in bits and pieces and hopefully what I have here is accurate. Please pray for this situation. This group of 6 was slated to come home on Tuesday night. They had been over there for mission work.
Update: Francis is OK, Kris was sent to the hospital, eye injury and leg, Joanne is in hospital, and her granddaughter,Emily has the leg injury will be sent to a hospital, the Conference is working on arrangements for the hospitals and getting the team home as soon as possilbe. Please keep the prayers flowing. Were still waiting to hear from Pastor Peter and Ivin.
Thank You to all the Prayer Warriors

Hello brothers and sisters! DeColores to you all. This is Joani from the table of Martha who took “thee” walk several years ago with the urging of Ralph Hibbs, his wife Audrey, and Aneta who sat in front of me at conference one year with all her “walkin” t-shirts.
Please pray for two women, Karen and Sue, that I would like to sponsor to a walk in 2010. I also wish to come along due to needing time alone with God. Thanks and this website is just awesome. Joyce Gensib was at my walk. What a wonderful love she had for our Lord, and now she can tell him face to face.
Blessings
Joani
Friends,
Please pray for my husband Joe. We are waiting for a surgery date at Hershey. Last week, being admitted to the local hospital for an infection, he became short of breath and through God’s grace, the technician who did the chest scan went lower and they discovered he has a mass in his right kidney which is growing up through the main vein towards the liver, lungs and heart. They are 90% sure it is renal cell carcinoma but if the tumor is not attached inside the vein and they can pull it out, there is a 40% cure rate. God has planned for this to be discovered and treated and I would just like to ask the community of faith to pray and thank God for what He is going to do.
Dear Friends of Emmaus
Janices Father David is having surgery tommorrow to remove the shunt from the brain to the stomach. It is infected. Please pray for healing. Yours in Christ. Bishop Jim and Janice Sunderland
