For those of you who have been keeping up with my niece’s baby through my blog, she is improving and has now been moved to her own room. Macy, already dealing with Down Syndrome, experienced major open heart surgery last week. After a long week, great medical care, and the people of God praying, Macy is advancing and improving. You can keep up with Macy through progress reports and pictures by visiting her patient care page here. The name of her care page is: MacyLynnSvec.

Remember to pray during our 50 Days of Prayer. It all began yesterday on both of our campuses and now resumes in your daily life. Please join us in these requests daily. We want to see God do something wonderful in and through our lives and spiritual family.

Yesterday was very, very busy. I preached our services in both morning and evening. I went home and crashed for an hour yesterday afternoon and then returned to the church for a television shoot. I was engaged in that most of the afternoon before preaching God’s Word. Last night at dinner, I had some time with Brad Graves, Church Planting Strategist and Coordinator of Strategic Focus Cities in Cleveland. He will have planted 22 churches within 18 months in this role. We are working with the North American Mission Board to help Brad launch a major flagship church in the city of San Diego in 2008-2009.

Please pray for me this week…I have a week filled already!
