We join Ron Washington in requesting prayers for his father, Abner Washington. Abner was a long time pastor in the church and is currently serving as an Assistant Pastor in Indianapolis, Indiana. His son Ron pastors our church in Livonia, Michigan.
Abner was taken to the hospital recently to diagnose some ailments he has been suffering. The diagnosis came back today. Abner has stage 4 prostate cancer, which has also metastasized into his spine. There is not much they can do except alleviate his discomfort and provide wellness of life. He is being released from the hospital today and will be starting on a couple chemo pills to try to stop the cancer from spreading. The doctors said Abner is strong and they feel good about controlling the cancer’s spread. He will be on this regimen for a couple weeks to see how it is going. Prayers for Abner, Sharon and the family are appreciated as he goes through this regimen.

Our prayers are with Abner and his family. Carmen and I have wonderful memories of his visit — back in the late 1970’s — to Jamaica. We were at the very beginning of our ministry and deeply appreciated his encouragement and advice… as well as his great love for life. May the joy of the Lord continue to be your strength, Abner!
