UPDATE 12-15-23 - She needs to have a CT and will begin PT. Dr. said she can go back to work with the boot, but if too much pain she may need the scooter or crutches. She can walk without the boot too if it feels good! The foot does hurt, and they will pursue this further if the pain doesn’t get better. Continued prayers for the pain to decrease and that she has a smooth transition back to work.

UPDATE 11-21-23 - She is back to non weight-bearing due to increased pain and swelling until at least 12/15 - please continue to pray for God’s perfect healing in His perfect timing.

Walking is a lot more difficult and painful than I anticipated. I can go back to work on Monday (11/20) as long as things are going well. Please pray for a decrease in pain and that I will (literally) take it one step at a time and not put too much pressure on myself to progress faster than my body allows.
Thank you all!

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength

My 10-year-old niece, Olivia was having vomiting spells throughout last week which ended her up Friday night first in the ER and ultimately in Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. After various tests and screenings, it was determined she would need to have her gallbladder removed, preceded by an endoscopic procedure. My sister Jenny and brother-in-law, Ryan have been able to take turns being with her. She has had 2 big surgeries to remove the blockage and should be coming home on Friday. The recovery is going okay, but she is in a lot of pain. Please pray for her pain to decrease, that she continues to heal, and for comfort and peace for her and her parents.

Psalm 91 My God shall heal all my diseases. By His stripes, Olivia is healed!

Jan Folkers, of Polo - Marilyn’s brother’s wife,  is STILL so very low on energy & needing a breakthrough!!  Totally not feeling like her usual perky self.  Unable to go back to work since the kidney surgery was done in April, and that is NOT like her.  She’s always such a worker. After surgery a few days later, contracted C-diff & it has been totally life-altering.  Medical Drs. have done all they can do for her.  They say she’s fine,  But she clearly is NOT!  So, she’s now seeing a Kinesiologist & finding a bit of energy through ‘grounding’ & natural treatments.  She’s ready for her breakthrough & she’s believing for complete healing SOON! 
Thank you for your continued prayers of restoration of energy & vitality for Jan, in JESUS’ name!

UPDATE - 6-17-23 - Another relapse of strength & energy for Jan these last few days.  Drs did further thyroid testing today, kidney surgical area is healed.  They say the lack of her body mass ( she’s sooo thin) is going to make the c-diff complication take this healing take longer.  Drs just say to keep resting and doing what her body says. Be patient and wait.

So in JESUS’ name, Jan Folkers be HEALED & made WHOLE, better than ever!! 
Thank u God!!

UPDATE - 5-18-23 Jan is home but still so very weak. She is gaining momentum slowly but not as fast as she had hoped so far. She is focusing on resting & eating often to try to gain weight. The C-diff she had right after the kidney removal surgery has really zapped her. Lord, give her strength!

UPDATE 4-13-23 Please continue to pray for Jan & Julie. They are experiencing post-surgical pain. Also please continue to pray for NO complications, quick healing & that Julie’s body accepts the new kidney with no rejection! Also please pray this for the other 2 unknown people that gave and received. Thank you!

UPDATE 4-12-23 Jan & Julie’s surgeries both went well! Glory to God on high! Thank you Lord & thank you team Jesus!

3-27-23 My sister-in-law, Jan Folkers of Polo, is scheduled for April 11 to sacrificially give her healthy kidney to a stranger. It’s part of the matching donor program. Jan’s 50 yr old cousin Julie needs a kidney desperately and Jan doesn’t match for Julie. BUT…because Jan is giving to someone else, they now found a donor for Julie more quickly. So both Julie and Jan will have kidney surgery; Julie to RECEIVE a kidney, and Jan to GIVE her kidney for transplant.
Both these gals are amazing & strong in the Lord!  

PLEASE PRAY for NO side affects for the recipients. Divine healing for everyone involved! That everyone stays healthy before surgery!  Whereas there are 4 people involved, all things need to line up properly, as all 4 surgeries will occur the same day.

Thanks so very much!

Lots of love,

We also pray the gene testing results come back negative and show this isn’t a cancer passed on through genetics, We don't know what each of our lives holds in store, but God does. We ask that he would go before us and make straight our paths. Give us the wisdom to make the right choices. Give us the strength to keep going when life becomes difficult.

UPDATE - 5-18-23 Jan is home but still so very weak. She is gaining momentum slowly but not as fast as she had hoped so far. She is focusing on resting & eating often to try to gain weight. The C-diff she had right after the kidney removal surgery has really zapped her. Lord, give her strength!

UPDATE 4-13-23 Please continue to pray for Jan & Julie. They are experiencing post-surgical pain. Also please continue to pray for NO complications, quick healing & that Julie’s body accepts the new kidney with no rejection! Also please pray this for the other 2 unknown people that gave and received. Thank you!

UPDATE 4-12-23 Jan & Julie’s surgeries both went well! Glory to God on high! Thank you Lord & thank you team Jesus!

3-27-23 My sister-in-law, Jan Folkers of Polo, is scheduled for April 11 to sacrificially give her healthy kidney to a stranger. It’s part of the matching donor program. Jan’s 50 yr old cousin Julie needs a kidney desperately and Jan doesn’t match for Julie. BUT…because Jan is giving to someone else, they now found a donor for Julie more quickly. So both Julie and Jan will have kidney surgery; Julie to RECEIVE a kidney, and Jan to GIVE her kidney for transplant.
Both these gals are amazing & strong in the Lord!  

PLEASE PRAY for NO side affects for the recipients. Divine healing for everyone involved! That everyone stays healthy before surgery!  Whereas there are 4 people involved, all things need to line up properly, as all 4 surgeries will occur the same day.

Thanks so very much!

Lots of love,

Dear friends and family,
I’ve been involved in Chapelstreets mission work for four years now. Beginning March 26 through March 31 I will be traveling to Cabo San Lucas Mexico on a mission trip with Chapelstreet church. This will be my second mission trip with the church in my four years. We will be assisting a local pastor and his wife in projects around the San Lucas area. I have been to Mexico twice before and I cannot wait to go back and show the people in my church the people, culture, and especially the food as we fulfill our mission! This opportunity is especially close to me as I will be majoring in Spanish and Nursing. I am very grateful that I get to experience this opportunity and spread the love of God. If you could pray for me and keep our mission close to your hearts as I go to do His work that would be greatly appreciated.

With love,
Nora Tresemer

12-4-22 Our family comes asking for prayers for strength, comfort, and protection. Our Mother has been diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer and will have surgery this coming Tuesday. We ask that you join us in asking God to be with her and all of us through every step of this trial. We pray God grants the Doctors and Surgeons wisdom and guidance to determine the best treatment path and bless that path, Lord. Remove the cancer from her body and prevent it from spreading Lord. We also pray the gene testing results come back negative and show this isn’t a cancer passed on through genetics, We don't know what each of our lives holds in store, but God does. We ask that he would go before us and make straight our paths. Give us the wisdom to make the right choices. Give us the strength to keep going when life becomes difficult.

“I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken.”
