Dear friends,

This is a very quick blog to fill you in for PRAYER.

Ali went home a bit early, about three weeks ago now, as she was continuing to have heart symptoms. These started in 2008, but had not gotten a clear diagnosis. As they were getting more serious of late, it seemed best in consultation with leaders to get her to St. Louis, where she can stay with her sister and have access to good doctors and hospitals. John is under a deadline for his doctorate and has more resources at ABU; he will return to the U.S. later.

JUNE 19th: A cardiac cath is scheduled, likely to be accompanied by one or more stents. Please pray.

John of late is showing some signs of high blood pressure, so we both appreciate your prayers.

A full letter is coming out soon.
