Prayer Request from Shaun King – Forde Weaver is being admitted for emergency bowel surgery. He was seen for severe abdominal pains, only to learn there is an obstruction that will require the removal of part of his intestine. Please be in prayer for Forde. These are unprecedented times for situations like these. The concerns surrounding COVID-19 create heightened safety measures for families undergoing surgeries. Forde’s family will be unable to access him during this time. So, let’s be in prayer for BOTH a successful surgery, as well as a steady peace for the Weaver family.
