Blake Brandon's Grandmother

Blake and John are the couple I met at Church Under the Bridge that I invited to small group. Blake's grandmother is recovering from a shoulder replacement. This is from Blake's e-mail to me, "Just before Christmas she fell into her dresser and cut her head and shattered her shoulder. So surgery was inevitable but a huge risk at 85 years old. So last Wed. afternoon I was moving her from the hospital to the nursing home. "

Greg Chandler is in Equador

Greg is currently in Equador learning about the model put in place by Compassion International. Let's pray for safe travels and that he can bring some great missionary opportunities back to Crossroads.

Our Small Group

Let's all say a special prayer for our small group. What a wonderful small group we have, so I think the first part of my prayer will be thank you and that I am blessed. Let's pray that God's words flow through the speakers on Saturday and Sunday that He can calm any nerves and that He can use us as a vessel to bring other people into community. And let's pray that God can use our small group as He chooses in regards to members and everything we do. I think if we allow Him to work in us as individuals and our small group, we will continue to prosper and grow in the ways He chooses.

Kim Lusk (Update & Praise)

I received this message this morning regarding Kim Lusk... she is a friend of mine's cousin that is having some issues and was at the Mayo Clinic for tests.

Kim just called and is doing well just very tired from all the test and cath. A praise though. They felt sure she had PPH primary pulmonary hypertention which is very serious. The only way they could rule it out was to do the cath. Doctor said it is 100% not PPH praise God for that.


He also said it is not anything cardiac, now back to finding a cause for all this. They have a 14 hour trip back in lots of bad weather so continue to pray for them. Thank you for all your prayers of love and concern.
