Glory!  One of our supporters sent our prayer update to local intercessors in Bellevue, Neb where a dear lady saw our PayPal issue and called her son who happens to work at Paypal….he was able to reactivate our account without any problems!  Yeah God!

Happy 1 month birthday to our glorious fighter- Gloria Grace!!!! Another decent night…she is coughing more which gives us some concern, so we need to keep up the strong prayer shield! Other things are improving though like her oxygen level is being lowered on the ventilator- yeah God! She is also being fed breast milk via a feeding tube in her stomach- another huge milestone of improvement. So we are seeing daily miracles–keep praying for more to come!

Gloria had another good night and day- two in a row!!!! Come on Jesus!!!

Mucus continues to be heavy, but it is thinner each day which is very good. Gloria had another blood transfusion today due to her low red blood cell count, so lets all pray that the only blood she needs anymore is the blood of JESUS!

Please pray for our MCV staff and kids. The amazing missionaries from New Zealand who came to assist with MCV during my maternity rest, the Marquets, – they are having symptoms for whopping cough. Ella is 4.5 months pregnant and they have a 1 year son….we also have two babies and two young girls coughing at MCV, so please pray divine healing for our entire SA family.

Gloria had her first good night and day! Although there continues to be massive amounts of mucus which has to be suctioned hourly, it is less infected and slightly thinner.

Doctors are still not willing to call her condition ‘stable’ but it is much improved. Everyone is in awe of her strength considering her heart and age (less than a month)! Lets keep agreeing for His glory to be poured out upon her life and body!

Day 4 in ICU- Gloria’s condition really deteriorated during the night and early morning. Even while on a ventilator, she stopped breathing…which is soooo crazy bad. Doctors were stumped but after an X-ray, they discovered one of her lungs was completed blocked up with mucus and unable to function. Therefore, they ordered a risky operation mid- morning. It was by far the hardest 40 minutes of our lives….Glory to Jesus, she pulled thru. Her lung is working again, but still has some blockage…therefore, she remains unstable and still really needs the supernatural healing break-thru!

Ohhh- I forgot to mention that tests came back- it is a confirmed case of whopping cough (pertussis). Since this is so dangerous/infectious, they have moved her into her own isolation room in the Neo-natal ICU. Mine and Johanna’s (Teisa) tests are not back yet, but we also need His healing power. Please also pray for our dear ones at MCV…Johanna was playing with all the kids for days before we knew anything, so there is a chance other children have been affected…we really need this attack to stop now in Jesus name! This mama can hardly stand fighting this battle for Gloria….fighting for more precious lives is absolutely not an option!

On top of everything, we are having major issues with Pay Pal.  Over a month ago, someone tried to hack into our account which cause Pay Pal to restrict the account  to protect it….We were still able to receive money up until a week ago when Pay Pal demanded proof of our US address (since it is a US account)…this is a little challenging for us since we live in Africa:)  

So please forgive us for this not working right now….and we honestly do not have the time and energy to sort it out till Gloria really bounces back!

Many people know have been asking how to help…We simply want everyone to pray!  We do need a miracle financially too since we do not have insurance….!

People can still give thru MIA- PO Box 970, Killen AL 35645 (remember to make ck’s to MIA with note in byline- Jean and Teisa

We are so grateful for your prayers, love and support!!!  God is great and His Glory is shinning brightly over us!!!

We wish we had better news, but Gloria had to be rushed to the hospital and admitted into Intensive Care. She constantly stopped breathing last night…but always responded to the name of Jesus and came back! She is quite a fighter!!! They have her on a full blown ventilator now and have sedated her since she hates all the tubes down her mouth. If possible, check our FB page for the latest news. We still do not know what is causing this sickness…We do know God has spoken Isaiah 60 over her life and that the enemy is out to destroy her. So please join us in proclaiming divine healing and wholeness over her precious body and destiny!
