Wes & Nancy July 2023 Prayer Request

I (Nancy) was in the hospital again over the weekend for jaundice. Thank the Lord that it wasn’t cancer…at least all the tests ruled that out. They haven’t been able to find a definitive reason for the jaundice. Also, my mitral valve repair is performing well.

We’d appreciate prayer for my liver enzymes and bilirubin to keep decreasing and return to normal. I have an appointment on the 20th (our 49th wedding anniversary) with my Primary Care doctor to check the bloodwork again.

Also, for the Scriptures to continue being used by more and more villagers (in Guatemala), and for more and more Mam to come to faith. That Byron and his wife would stay strong in the faith as he teaches literacy classes and broadcasts a radio program among the Mam.

Thank you.

Pray for Byron,a young-ish Mam middle-aged man in Guatemala who has dedicated his life to translation of the Bible into his own language. He is working on details for finishing the publication of the Mam Bible. It is a source of pride for the Mam believers and for the community as well.
