Lajan's Sister & family
July 16: Kojan and Lajan, our missionaries planting a Kurdish church in Hamilton, request prayer for Lajan's sister (Hero) and family in Hamilton who had to deliver their baby early by C-Section. The baby is struggling to survive and the mother is still suffering from high blood pressure, etc. Lajan is the main caregiver, while also dealing with many other responsibilities. Their son's wedding that was to take place this Saturday has been postponed to focus on mother and baby.
Northern Ontario Wildfires
July 16: Please be in prayer for the people in Northern Ontario affected by the wildfires. Specifically, we pray for Clinton and Anne Saito and family, missionaries in Armstrong and Gull Bay, Ontario. They have been safely evacuated to Thunder Bay, but their home and church are at risk. We will share updates as we know more from the Saitos, including ways to support them.
Gerd Ruggeberg

Ed Kotrus
July 16: Thank you for your continued prayers for Ed Kotrus. Ed has been diagnosed with C-Diff, so for the meantime the family is asking for no visitors. They appreciate our ongoing prayers that it will be resolved quickly.
Rick Pyl
July 15: Thank you for your continued prayers for Rick Pyl. He met with the oncologist today who has determined that Rick is currently in a stable condition, so she would like to take the opportunity to do more testing before determining the proper course of treatment for Rick. This will include a repeat CT scan and lung biopsy. Rick is very thankful and amazed that despite the spots on his lungs, he is still able to sing praises aloud to God!
July 9: Rick Pyl received test results today that indicate his lymphoma has travelled into his lung tissue, which is quite rare. He will be meeting with his oncologist on Tuesday to receive a treatment plan which is expected to involve chemotherapy.
Please continue to keep Rick in your prayers as he processes this news with his family and prepares for treatment.

She's also healing from a long-term sinus infection that was cleared during surgery. Cathy is home resting, and very appreciative of your prayers on her behalf.
July 1: Please be in prayer for Cathy Robert who is having surgery on her sinuses tomorrow. Pray that God will guide the surgeons hands and give wisdom to the anaesthesiologist as they care for Cathy.
