e-Missions Update: Prayer Request from Dr. Iris

My Dear Prayer Partners.

Greetings in Jesus' Name.

After a "Perfect Sabbatical" in the US for 6 months, I landed in my beautiful country and had to face many stressful situations, like, the Indian donations had come down drastically, there still was No application for Doctors to join the work here, the Government procedures for transaction of money for the work was LONG and is not going fast, a Home where there was No mother to pray with me and put a cross on my head every time I left home. All these and any many other cause and situations made me very stressful. My 100-year-old Grandma had fits and became unconscious 3 days ago and is a wee bit better now. I pray that she will stay for a few more years if it is His will, as I would love to have her companionship.

Usually I cry a lot and pray and I am O.K., but this time though I cried and prayed, no change. Instead I started to get all symptoms of heart block. I tried to relax with His help, BUT I developed unstable Blood Pressure and my Blood sugar level went up! I tried to avoid tablets for I always said, " Walk and You can Walk Away Diabetics". But as there was No improvement I started on medications for the last 5 days, BUT this has not helped much my symptoms. So I am leaving for Vizag for FULL check up. All tests will be done in 2 phases. The first sets of tests are fixed for 23rd. I will, God willing also meet the Australian team the same night and proceed with them the following day for Malkangiri.

I will appreciate your prayers for a miraculous cure, so that I need not go through a by pass surgery.

Thanks a ton for standing with me in prayer.

Closing with Love and prayers,

Yours in Christ,
Iris.
