Greetings,
A very special and personal prayer request; Tom Beatty a man I consider friend, mentor in prison ministry and a brother in Christ has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. He personally has found peace. In his words 'The doctor says 6-10 months. God says I have eternal life.' He has asked for prayers for his wife Laurie, reconciliation among. his children in family relationships but most importantly their reconciliation with God
To Him be the glory
