Our dear brother in Christ, Martin Downes, has requested prayer for his 9 year old daughter Kezia who was just diagnosed as having a brain tumor. Martin wrote:

“Yesterday our youngest daughter Kezia (9) went for an MRI scan.  The doctors discovered a large brain tumor, which is pressing on the pituitary gland.  Kezia is currently in hospital in Wrexham and will be transferred today to Alder Hey children’s hospital in Liverpool where the neurosurgeons will assess her and operate.”

Please lift Kezia up in prayer to the great Physician. Pray also for Martin and his wife and they go through this trial with their beloved daughter.11/28/2010
