Such praise JUDY has for her niece, LOGAN. Our Great Physician is at work behind the scenes (ahhhh - isn't He always!!!). You may recall we've been praying for Logan for an upcoming surgery for Crohn's disease. Well, the Lord has something else in mind for her!!! Almost a month ago all her medical information was sent to the premier person for this kind of problem in Boston. His read was better!!! He said "no surgery yet - let's try the new drug trial that's coming in Oct or Nov." He thought he might even see a little healing. So praise God! Who knows what he could have in store! They are also going to church and Judy's sister-in-law is now sending her links to listen to the sermons! God is good! ALL THE TIME!!!
JUDI - FREE - Faith Re-Entry Enterprises is a ministry Judi and others have been working on for quite a while. There is a fourth church which has now expressed interest in helping. A follow-on meeting is being scheduled. In the meantime, FREE will go forward to one of the church councils with their proposal. IF they like what they hear the council will meet again for a vote to take it to the congregation which will then have to vote their approval. This "process" is projected to take 3-4 months. Praise to the Lord for opening the doors and prayer for the Lord to touch the hearts of the decision makers!
JUDI continues to meet with Summer as a mentoree. Rejoice that things are back on track for her! Please Pray for her sentencing and for the lives of all the girls Judi and Carol are working with in the Sumter County Jail.
