Please pray
This is the college group we've been working with along with the short term team from FBC Eugene. We get to do ministry with such a great group of students.
We'd like you to especially notice two of the gals in our group, they are the daughters of our pastor Raul Gosalvez. Damaris is in a brown sweater just above Dan's head, and her sister Abigail is just above her to the left, in the gray sweatshirt. They are core members of the leadership, worship, and Awana ministries, and both very active in our community.
3 weeks ago their dad and the pastor of our church went to the hospital for what was supposed to be a 2 day procedure to remove gall stones. But so far Raul hasn't come home. He has had 4 operations and numerous complications and infections, his body keeps rejecting the medications and isn't healing, and his vital organs are shutting down. On Friday the doctors said there is nothing more they know to do, and told Ruth, Damaris, and Abigail, to begin preparing themselves in the event that Raul doesn't recover.
Please pray for God's miraculous healing over Raul, for his wife Ruth, his 4 children (Damaris, Abigail, Ariel, Abner), for the hospital staff, for our church, for the other churches we worship with, as we walk through this very very hard time. Please pray that Daryl and I have the wisdom and cultural sensitivity to know what to do, how to comfort our friends, how to help our church in this time.
thank you for walking and praying through this journey with us,
love Dan & Daryl
