Urgent Prayers Needed for our friends “Back Home”

From Jennifer’s Facebook:

Update on Joey. We have been told by Joeys doctor that he is in the last stages of kidney failure. Still having seizures. We have been told to prepare and call the family in to see him. He has fought an amazing fight, and has blown away the statistics, but he is tired. Thank all of you for the prayers for him and his family.

Join us at SGN Scoops in praying for this precious family.
