My counterpart in the northwest is David Lunsford, the Director of Baptist Network Northwest. His wife, Sue, has a rare form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma. She just finished another round of chemotherapy and is doing well. Let’s pray for her and David and our brothers and sisters in the northwest. b. Many of you know our daughter, Laura Bowling, who was a missionary with ABWE from 2006-2015. She has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer and had her surgery on March 20. She is waiting for a pathology report and her post-surgery appointment with the doctor, but so far it appears they were able to remove the cancer when they removed half of her thyroid. Thank you for praying for her and us. 8.
