This request is from Marilyn Koblentz. Kevin and Rachel live in Canada. Their house burned down and they lost everything, including special memory items that meant so much to them. It will be two years before they can build a new home. They are living in an apartment now. Kevin's mother died of ALS some time ago and now Kevin is in the hospital because of a problem with his legs. They are weak and won't support him. They are fearful of ALS because of his mother dying from it. The doctor is also checking out the possibility of a herniated disc. Marilyn is requesting that we pray against the ALS. Kevin and Rachel know the Great Physician and have great faith in their Lord. Please help us pray for this precious family. They have two small children.
