Liberating Faith

ABF Family,   Sorry for the delay in this.  No excuses just got side tracked and did not get to it.  I hope your week is off to a great start.  Me and the girls are rolling along and they even said they are having fun with Dad. Dee is doing quite well in Ghana and saw over 300 patients the first day.  Please pray for sleep.  She has not gotten much rest since she left last week.   So on to the lesson for this week.  We continue a discussion of faith. Faith is built by putting what you read in His word and believing it when struggles come into life.  Read this weeks "Liberating Faith."  See where you might need to practice your faith this week.    Be Blessed this week,   Brian

Re: Prayer request - Brian and Stephanie Tate

Thank you all so much for your prayers for Collyn. She is doing much better today. She had the flu test, strep test, an IV for fluids and a shot (none of which she enjoyed)! And after all of that, the dr. said she just has a bad virus. Brad was sent home from school today sick. He is doing pretty good and doesn't seem to be a severe as Collyn. Please continue to pray for our family's health. Thank you again!!!

We love our ABF!
The Taters

RE: Prayer request - Brian and Stephanie Tate

Just want everyone to know that the Tates went home yesterday evening without the need for an overnight stay at the hospital. They still do not really know what is affecting Collyn. A few more intensive tests were run yesterday, but it could be a couple of days before the results are known. Please continue to remember them in your prayers. Thanks.

John

Prayer request - Brian and Stephanie Tate

Good morning, class. Please pray for Brian, Stephanie and Collyn Tate. Collyn has been showing flu-like symptoms. They took her to the doctor this morning and the tests showed that she does not have the flu. However, they are not sure what is wrong at this time. Collyn has been given an IV, but it has not really helped. The doctor is sending them to the emergency room for further evaluation and testing. Brian is bringing Brad and Sydney to our house so they don't have to hang out at the hospital. Please pray for calm and peace for Brian and Stephanie, wisdom for the medical personnel, and healing for Collyn. We'll pass along updates as we receive them.

John T.
