We recently requested prayer for Owen Willis, GCI Pastor in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada (click here for the original request). Here is an update from Owen:
I am deeply grateful for all the cards and kind concern from all over the world regarding my eye injury. I am making good progress in a slow recuperative process. The eye will not see again (without an unprecedented miracle!) and the main decision up ahead may be whether to keep the eye or not. I have low-grade, bearable pain, need to sleep every five or six hours, and am extremely light-sensitive (necessitating wearing two pairs of sunglasses outdoors). I have struggled for many years with my eyes, and the vision in my “good” eye, which has had two corneal transplants, is quite compromised. I hope to return to church before the end of the year. My wife Tina has been an angel. Without her, I cannot imagine what the last month would have been like.
Cards may be sent to:

Dear Owen,
We are all with you in prayer during this most difficult time. Our wives are indeed wonderful angels. I am sure that Tina’s love will continue to lift you up even as our heavenly Father provides tender care for His fragile children.
In Jesus,

Mr. Willis
I had missed the original message about your accident. But it is not too late for us to lift you up in prayer to our ever merciful God. I am passing on this prayer request to our brothers and sisters in the Zambian church who still fondly remember you. God our Healer will hear our prayer.
