PLEASE PRAY FOR DR. DARRELL COX
Wed May 29

Last week Dr. Darrell Cox had a heart attack and is currently in the hospital awaiting surgery. Bro. Steve Cox, Dr. Cox’s son, told me that he will have a double bypass surgery next Monday. He is in stable condition and resting. For years, Dr. Cox has fought diabetes. The diabetes and his busy schedule has had a toll on his heart. Please pray that everything will go well for Dr. Cox. His family needs him, his church needs him, and this country needs him. I appreciate your prayers for him. Please be sure to share this with others so we can get a large chain of prayer warriors praying for this man of God.

SERIOUS UPDATE ON KARIE OWENS’ CONDITION
May 28, 6 AM

Early this morning I had was able to talk to Bro. Nathan Owens and was updated concerning her condition. She is in stable condition, and medical decisions will be made in the next few days to week. Let me squelch any rumors that this condition is linked to ANY previous conditions. This is a health concern completely on its own. I personally ask that if you hear something from someone other than Bro. Nathan Owens, or his spokesperson, that you disregard that report or rumor. I have attached an announcement he personally sent out early this morning so you can get hear about Karie’s condition in his own words. Thank you again for your prayers. Please continue to pray for her condition.

Dear Prayer Friends,

Karie was medevaced to Paris on Sunday morning May, 26th, after being in a hospital in Cameroon for four days. She is now in CCU in Paris.  Although Karie is in stable condition, she has a long way to go before any kind of recovery. Testing is being completed to establish interventions and sort through her medical problems. Karie’s  mother is in Paris with her, staying in her room giving support and care as needed.

I want to thank everyone for your prayers and ask you to continue in prayer for Karie. THANK YOU!

I’m still in Cameroon with our children; please pray for protection and wisdom during this time.

Reaching Cameroon for Christ
Bro. Nathan Owens

IMPORTANT UPDATE TO KARIE OWENS’ CONDITION
May 25 – 10 AM  

I just got off the phone with Bro. Nathan Owens. He relayed that Karie’s condition has not changed. She is stabilized, but is still in very serious condition. She is having chest pains on a regular basis, and they are awaiting for the air-ambulance (Medevac) to take her to Paris. This should happen at midnight tonight, eastern time. Once in Paris they will be able to diagnose her situation better. Please continue to pray as she is still in a very serious medical condition. Just because she is stable does not mean that she’s getting better, it only means her condition has not worsened. The family wants to thank everyone for their prayers, and asks that you continue to keep Karie in earnest prayer.

Karie Owens Update May 24 2PM

I just got off the phone with Nathan Owens. Karie’s condition is critical. They have her stabilized, but she is in NO WAY out of danger. They have sedated her so she can stay stabilized. The greatest need right now is prayer for the weather to clear so they can fly her to the capital city so she can get to Paris. They are 8 hours from the nearest international airport, and her condition is too critical to drive. Thank you for your concern. In times like these when you want to do something for someone, the best thing to do is pray. Right now GOD is Who the Owens’ need. I will keep you updated as I hear from Bro. Owens.

Please pray for Karie Owens. Karie is the wife of missionary Nathan Owens. They are missionaries to Cameroon, Africa. Bro. Owens called me this morning to tell me that Karie had an acute cardiac arrest on the evening of May 23. She is currently in ICU. They are currently trying to stabilize her, and hope to fly her to Paris, France to get better treatment. They originally thought she had malaria, but that has been ruled out. Nathan told me that she started having chest pains and then went into the cardiac arrest while in the hospital. Please pray for the doctors to have special wisdom on what to do. Pray that Karie’s heart will be stabilized. I will keep you updated to this request as I get more information. Thank you for your prayers.
