Dear Church Members & Friends,

I have urgent prayer requests for you again. I know God hears your prayers and I have two dear friends/members/colleagues in ministry who are both very sick. Both have given me permission to share this information with you and the prayer chain at our Yucaipa SDA Church. I would encourage you to ask your friends to pray for these two men too.

Elders Gordon Klein & Ken Cox are both sick at this time and were anointed this afternoon at the Yucaipa SDA Church. Gordon has a brain tumor just above his left ear and will be operated on Monday morning at Loma Linda Medical Center. He is requesting prayers for healing. Ken Cox has low hemoglobin numbers, has lost about 15 pounds and has been suffering from heart fibrillations. The cause of these problems has not been detected. Ken is requesting that his hemoglobin numbers are higher and that the heart fibrillations end.

Both Ken & Gordon work for Ken Cox Ministries. The team has just returned from Guam where they have completed in Ken's words, one of the best and most successful crusades that he has ever done. God's leading was clear. Both Ken and Gordon were very sick during this campaign and yet God blessed again and again and again. The stories are amazing.

The anointing service took over an hour this afternoon at the church. We spent a great deal of time reflecting on the many times God has blessed each on of us in the past and listening. We read Scripture and prayed. I was assisted by Pastors Dorothy and Elijah from the Yucaipa SDA Church. This has been a busy weekend and I have only just got home, but I wanted to get the word out as soon as possible so you can start to pray.

Ken Cox Ministries has suspended their immediate plans for public evangelism for a short while until Gordon and Ken are better. Please pray for these two men and their families at this time, that God would heal them and that shortly they might be sharing their Savior on the road again.

I thank you so much for remembering these two wonderful Christian friends of mine in your prayers.
