Whosoever Gospel Mission

Update on Executive Director Bob Emberger: Bob continues to thank everyone for your prayers, cards, and well wishes. Infection in leg incisions has cleared up. Kidneys are working fine now. Is allowed to drive again (as of yesterday)! ... Prayer requests: Bob still has considerable pain in his sternum and isn’t sleeping well at night. He’s also lost significant muscle mass in his arms and legs. Pray for pain relief, strength, stamina and good sleep. He’ll start cardiac rehab soon. Also, he’s on warfarin to protect his new aortic valve but they’re having trouble figuring out the right dose. Thanks for praying!

Reggie saw our planters could use a little TLC, so he bought some flowers and tends them daily. Check them out next time you stop by!

Prayer request for Executive Director Robert Emberger: One of Bob’s leg incisions (from harvesting the vein for bypass) is infected.
