Dear Friends,

Remember the Hutchins family I stayed at last summer? PLEASE lift them up in prayer.

Their eldest son's wife and two children were involved in a VERY high speed collision head on!!!! The baby is fine as could be expected, and the little girl is very sore. What an amazing thing to give thanks for!

On the other hand, Analiese (Matthew's sweet wife), is a wreck. The following is from a letter by Mrs. Hutchins: "By God's grace and mercy alone we still have Analiese here with us. He has shown Himself mighty in so many ways......His protection of Analiese and the children, His strength He has given all of us, His testimony to all who have been involved in helping Analiese and the children, His care for all our needs.......Analiese, our precious Analiese, is in a battle right now. She is in ICU. A doctor told Matthew a few hours ago that she has not yet begun to heal. They gave her another pint of blood this afternoon (22 pints during surgery last night plus multiple blood products.) They don't know where the loss is coming from. She is, at times, lucid and at other times she is just off the wall ... Earlier today she was responding well to Matthew's voice ... Now we are learning more ... They were working to keep blood clots from forming in her lungs this afternoon and still trying to figure out what the cause of the blood loss was. ... Please lift us all up before our Father, especially Matthew and Analiese."

Please keep them in prayer!

As always, love in Christ Jesus our Lord,
Michael Thomas
