MARTIN, ROBERT & SUSAN (Kingston, ON; Kingston Prison Ministry; MSC) PRAISE: M won his appeal hearing and has been transferred back to a provincial jail. Doing time at the provincial level is much more difficult/challenging than federal. Pray that his faith will stay strong as he waits hoping for bail and a successful new trial. A has reached out to me in the past month to say that he is doing well on his return to the street. He has some mental health issues which he is learning to manage and he is seeking to trust the Lord and follow Him. Pray for steadfastness and dependence on the Lord. PRAY: G has reoffended and was recently sentenced to another four years. Pray that I would have wisdom, love, to communicate the truth of the gospel to him so that the Holy Spirit can help him to see himself accurately.
Susan’s parents, Ron and Verna Millson have been living on their own in Kingston for 5 years. Shortly after Christmas Ron had a “neurological event” (stroke??... we haven’t been able to have a complete diagnosis). This resulted in a sudden deterioration with increased confusion along with other dementia “oddities”. Please pray for Verna as she provides much of the daytime care. Her presence provides the most comfort and security. We are assisting her as she does as well as helping with nighttime care. We are thankful for the timing in this and know this is God’s will for us right now as we provide care to help them to remain in their own home.
