Prayer is requested for Richard (Rick) Ridgell, pastor of GCI’s church in Front Royal, Virginia. Rick has stage 4 lung cancer that has spread to his bones. On the plus side is that this type of cancer responds well to treatment. The doctor encouraged Rick to continue working, but tiredness and weakness are a big challenge. Rick’s wife Pam commented:
It is heartwarming to know that many people are praying for us. Rick is on the prayer lists of many churches as word has spread. We know that God is in charge as we make plans for the worst and pray for the best. It is hard to see your soul-mate suffering, but we trust God for his will in our lives. Thank you for your prayers, we will keep you updated as we go along.
