Greetings in the name of Jesus.
Karen and I have arrived back in Toronto and we look forward to getting back to live at Bloor Central. This week there are three things I’d like to make you aware of - all very important to us.
Darlene King was taken to hospital this week for what was suspected to be a heart attack. She has been in since Tuesday and it looks like she will be there at least until Monday as the put her through a series of tests. At this point she is doing well and does not seem in any danger; however, it is troubling that they have not been able to identify what is wrong. Pray for Darlenes full and complete recovery.
The leader for The Salvation Army in Canada is Commissioner Floyd Tidd. We’ve been praying for him through this year as he has dealt with a series of serious health issues. This week we again got another update of the challenges he is facing. Below is shared from a letter sent out by our headquarters. Again we call Bloor Central to prayer.
Commissioner Floyd has shared that recovery from his surgery for prostate cancer continues well. He is grateful for the reports following surgery indicating an effective course of treatment through surgery. They have appreciated greatly the prayers and expressions of interest and support.
In recent days, Commissioner Floyd was diagnosed with a completely unrelated cancer tumour in his right eye. He will undergo a surgical procedure on October 21st to insert a plaque in the eye as a radiation therapy procedure. The plaque will be in place for seven days and removed surgically on October 28th. There will be ongoing follow-up appointments to determine the effectiveness of the radiation treatment.
The Commissioners are grateful for an early detection allowing for the approach of radiation therapy in an attempt to save the eye. They are grateful for the continued prayerful support of so many across the territory on a regular basis and most especially in these days of leadership challenges and personal health considerations.
3. This Sunday (October 17) Jarhed is going to be sharing from the scripture. We are looking forward to his
ministry and look forward to seeing you there at 10am.
Blessings to you all.
