Update

Bro. Curt Knepp
plans to go to Chicago tomorrow to donate the stem cells for Bro. Rich Knepp’s
transplant. Please pray for him and that
the donation will be successful. Lord
willing, Bro. Rich plans to be admitted mid week for five days of intense chemo
to prepare for the transplant which is planned for the following week. We certainly lift Bro. Rich and Sis. Janet up
in prayer and pray for a miracle of healing if it is the Lord’s will. Bro. Rich & Sis. Janet will be in Chicago
for a couple of months and while we will be separated by miles we will be
united in Spirit as they make this journey over the next couple months. Cards and notes of encouragement can be sent
to him at University of Chicago Bernard Mitchell Hospital, 6 NW – Richard
Knepp, 5841 S. Maryland Ave. MC 6041, Chicago, IL 60637-1470
