Edna Barr sent us this prayer request concerning her husband, retired GCI district and church pastor Allan Barr.
Allan recently visited a urologist regarding a growing lump, which may be testicular cancer. The urologist prescribed a CT scan and surgical removal of the tumor, which will be followed by a biopsy to determine if it is malignant. The surgery will be on July 25 with a follow-up visit a week later to discuss possible treatment. We are thankful for the answered prayers that made the first appointment possible, since for weeks they said that the first available appointment was August 2. We also give thanks for the prayers of church members. We’re expecting that things will go according to God’s plan.
Long time friends Edna and Al, we pray regarding the procedure this week and the follow-up. “…you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” God will take charge and give you comfort and peace regarding His will for the immediate and longer term future.
Yes, the folks in NYC have been praying several times per week since we heard and will doing so especially for the upcoming surgery.
You are in our prayers Al and Edna.
It was great seeing you guys in Chicago for their 50 th anniversary!
Do hope and pray that all went well with your surgery.
You are in thought and prayer.

Hello Al and Edna,
How are you doing. I hope the surgery went well. We, Lulu and I are in Orlando for the conference that starts soon. Please know that we are praying for you, and hoping that the lump is not malignant. We do not control our circumstances, but God does, and we know that He is not only aware of where you are, how you feel, and He is good, He is with you. Take care always, both of you. We love you.
