  • Praise & Prayers

    Please keep the following people and their families in your thoughts and prayers this week:

    Earlier this month,  Patti Lanford headed back to Zambia to complete her Peace Corps assignment after spending time in the U.S. recovering from a fractured leg and surgery. The bus on which she was traveling to her village was involved in an accident that resulted in a fractured foot and vertebra for Patti. UPDATE:   Patti's doctors are sending her back to the U.S. to recover and she expects to head back to Zambia in July. She says, " I don't know if there's something I'm supposed to be learning from all this, but I surely appreciate the reminder from Taryn, a fellow PCV, that 'everyone's (PC) experience is unique! And no experience is ever not worth it :)'"
