Please Pray

Please pray for our friend Brenna Logsdon. Many of you have already heard her story from us, but for those of you who haven't, here's a very brief tale. Brenna is a bright, sweet, heavenly 7 year old from Cleveland, Oklahoma, who is battling brain cancer right now. She's at St. Jude's in Memphis undergoing several rounds of chemo, after her 3 brain surgeries and her radiation. In the midst of all this, she has remained a smiling, joy-spreading sweetheart and is an inspiration to anyone she meets.
Nevertheless, this joy doesn't negate the pain that she experiences, or the sickness on a daily basis during treatments. Her father David ministers in Cleveland but is graciously given plenty of time to come be with her and her mother Bettina. Their other children Jalen and Bella could use prayer to, for God to help them through this trial with their dear sister.
Finally, please pray for the newest member of the family, little "Chipmunk," as he/she is called, the baby Bettina is carrying. Recently they learned through an ultrasound that there may be problems with the little one.
Thank you for your faith and prayers!

The girls were so blessed on their birthdays. Shortly after we arrived in Cali, both girls had their birthdays, strangers in a strange land. With all your help and love, we were able to plan the aforementioned big trip to SEA WORLD for them to celebrate!
