Tuesday Afternoon

Pastor Bill has made some progress today. The medical staff have placed him on VISITOR RESTRICTION so that he can get some rest.

The next 24 hours are very critical in his recovery, but the good news is that the antibiotics seem to be working on the infection and he does not have an infection around the lining of the heart.

I know that the family are being encouraged by the comments being left on the blog -- so please keep it up!

Pastor Bill,

I was encouraged by this evening's progress report. The Lord has more days (months, years) for you. May His will be done.

Praying,

Pastor Bill and Ruth,

Praising the Lord for every step of progress made.

Thanking God for the family of saints whom you are blessed to have gathered around you both.

Asking God to continue to give your body the strength that it needs to get through this ordeal so you can come home and be about, doing what you love the most (imaging Christ Jesus in your own uniquely gifted way).
And on a more selfish note, Get well soon, so you can be seen by all of us who love and care about you.

Praying that God will give you comfort and peace during this period of sickness, so you can return as the pillar that you truly are.
Remembering all the preaching that I sat under and thanking God for the knowledge you have and your desire to help men like myself who go through the Colony.
My God continue to use you to touch people for His glory. Duet 31:8

Thinking of you,
Bryan Mumma and family

Hi Pastor Bill & Ruth: Wed.

I just heard this morning when I went to the pool that you were in the hospital. Everyone there was very concerned for you and are praying for a complete recovery. You both will be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you both!

Dearest Pastor Bill and Mrs. Raws,
We are praying for you and thinking of you so often. We love you. We loved being able to see you over the Mem. Day Conference and catch up in the BBQ line. You are both such amazing people. Love, Melissa and Brian McFeaters and Morgan and Colin

Pastor Bill & Ruth, We continue to lift you in prayer and the family. We enjoyed getting an update from Mrs. Raws & Karen last evening. I specifically prayed for rest for both of you!!! And as I walked around the lake this morning at 6:30 the Lord kept laying you both on my heart so I spent much time in prayer then as well. I was just checking for an update.

Prayers continue! We love you!
Brian, Donna & the little Bits too!
