Can I Count on You to Pray? PDF Print E-mail

I want to let you know how you can pray for me and my family.

Gerry and Heidi PetersHere’s the story:

On August 7, Heidi and I, along with our daughter Tanya, will be flying to Los Cabos Mexico where I will undergo MS treatment.

In the last year a treatment has been discovered for MS patients.  Basically, studies have shown that most all MS patients have a thinning of the veins in the neck that stop blood flow from the brain.  What’s been proven is that this is the cause of many MS symptoms.  I’ve read about 30 testimonies and talked personally to a half dozen MS patients that have received this treatment.  In every case, the response is amazing.  People that have been in wheel chairs for years are walking 2 days after the treatment.

The treatment is a simple angioplasty in areas where veins have thinned.  Canada has been doing this for 27 years with heart and vascular patients but have blocked this treatment for MS patients. It will be approximately 5 years before it is available in Canada.  That’s why we’re flying to Los Cabos.  It’s where a Medical clinic has been set up for this procedure.

We request your prayer for us:

  1. For the success of our procedure.
  2. For sufficient funds to be raised.  The clinic’s fee is $9,700.  Friends and family have already taken care of all the costs and arrangements for flight and accommodation.  I know of friends that are fundraising for the remainder of the funds required.

I have set up a blog for daily reports, beginning now, concerning my health, plans, testimonials and of course how fund raising is proceeding. www.gerrypeters.com/hope. This is also where you can read more about why I am going to Mexico and more about this procedure.  This is also where you will find information concerning our support.

I have enjoyed writing devotionals, Bible challenges and Bible Studies for all of you.  It’s now that I need your prayers, for which I will be most grateful.

May the Lord bless you.  Thank you for your prayers.
