P. Ron Ward Had a Successful Surgery!

Praise God for P. Ron's successful surgery without any complications. Dervilla W. shared the good news that the surgeon reported a smooth laparoscopic procedure with only four small incisions. The gall bladder was found to be packed full of stones, indicating that P. Ron had been silently enduring pain for some time. His resilience shines through as he continues to work without complaint.

The power of prayer from our coworkers played a crucial role. Despite bureaucratic hurdles that threatened to delay treatment into the next year, God intervened, clearing the way for the surgery. Please continue to pray for his full recovery.
