Urgent Prayer Request

Dear Friends who Pray,

We desperately need your prayers. Today around lunchtime Kevin and Joe were out for a run and Kevin collapsed from ventricular fibrillation, causing cardiac arrest. Kevin is now in the cardiac intensive care unit at Duke.  To minimize inflammation, Kevin is receiving a cooling therapy whereby his body temperature is lowered by about 8 degrees. He will be under heavy sedation until Saturday, and there are many unknowns while he remains in critical condition.

Please pray for Kevin's healing, and for the Bartkovich family: JD, Joe, Louisa, Nate, and Savannah. 

"He is before all things, and in him all things hold together." Colossians 1:17

Dawn, We at First UMC, Belmont will be praying for you. Mark is at Lake Junaluska for conference but I am calling him to let him know of your prayer request. Will also put Kevin and your family on our urgent prayer list. May God surround you with his loving arms and healing touch.

Take care, Denise Andrews
