Please keep Jamie Hays father, Carol Carman, in
your prayers. For our newer friends and members, the
Hayses were members of St. Mark for many years
before moving their church membership closer to
home. They, of course, remain dear and close friends.
Earlier this year Carol Carman was diagnosed with prostate cancer, but the doctors believed at the time that it was a slow growing cancer and would not become a major concern during the course of the remainder of his life. This was good news.
Last week, however, that diagnoses was revised as the doctors have discovered that the cancer is actually quite aggressive. He will now need intensive radiation lasting 38 days. This treatment is scheduled to start very soon.
Pray for wisdom for the doctors, for the effectiveness of the radiation, and that our Lord Jesus, the great healer, would see fit to intervene on his behalf that the Hayses and other friends and family might enjoy many years still of the company of their beloved friend, father, and grandfather.
And pray for the Hayses as they walk, yet again, through the valley of the shadow of death. Pray that they might rest in the comfort and love of the Lord.
