The Lighthouse Boys

URGENT PRAYER REQUESTED FOR THE PATTERSON FAMILY!

Ken and Pauline Patterson

Ken Patterson has had two deaths in his family this past week — his cousin passed away one morning and his baby sister, Paula Jones, died the same day. Today, August 10th, he received word that his baby brother, Jim Patterson, had died also, apparently from a massive heart attack. Jim would have been 52 this month.

Pauline Patterson (owner of Patterson Music Group, Patterson Promotions and Southern Gospel Times) is asking for special prayer for her husband during this tragic time. Not only is Ken dealing with the losses in his family, but he continues to recover from a quadruple-bypass heart surgery March 12, 2014. With his body still weak and carrying the weight of his grief, he needs extra strength and prayer during this time.

We know that GOD ANSWERS PRAYER and we thank all of you ahead of time for your concern. We are believing for Ken’s complete recovery, and for God’s grace to give Him emotional and physical strength during this time of grief.

Cards of sympathy and condolences can be sent to:
Ken and Pauline Patterson, 768 Walnut Road, Lily, KY 40740
