We, the Provincial Council, humbly request your prayers for our beloved chaplain, Bishop Mark Zimmerman. Bishop Mark had his surgery earlier than expected. He said all went well. We continue to earnestly pray for divine protection and a swift and complete recovery.
Jeremiah 17:14 (NIV)
Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed;
save me and I will be saved,
for you are the one I praise.
