OUR PRAYER REQUESTS FOR HAWK

Our prayer requests for Hawk and his family are:

• If it is the Lord's will, that the tumor be completely removed and Hawk will be completely cured. We believe that all things are possible through prayer and the Lord,
• But, if that is not His will, that Hawk will be in the 5 % to survive past two years,
• That the Lord will Bless Hawk with a good quality of life during this ordeal,
• That all of Hawk's extended family will be provided strength by the Lord during this illness, that we can be strong for him and each other,
• That there will be blessings resulting from Hawk's illness, even if we are not aware of them, and
• That all the families, churches and individuals praying for Hawk will be Blessed as we are being Blessed and strengthened by their prayers, hugs, cards, emotional and financial support.
