Surgery Tuesday, April 20th at 1:00pm

Curt's surgery is scheduled for Tuesday at 1:00pm. Dr. Liem said that it will take 3 to 4 hours. Please pray for God to guide the surgeon and his team's hands and minds during the operation, and that they will be able to remove both tumors completely without harm to Curt's brain. Also, please pray that the tumors are benign, and that Curt will not have to go through chemotherapy or radiation treatments. Thank you all so much for your prayers, we are very blessed to have such a dedicated church family at Hope!

Love,

The Franks

  2. Dear Curt, Patti and all the family...
    When I received the urgent prayer request the other evening...my heart sank...only because I love you so very much...NOT because I don't believe that God can heal you. You have been in my thoughts heavily and I have been praying consistently. My prayers are for your strength and peace that passes all understanding as you put your trust tomorrow in the greatest physician. I will also be praying for Dr. Liem and his staff to have clarity as they carry out their knowledge skillfully to complete the surgery successfully...both tumors removed and free of cancer. You have always been very special to me...and, although, you have such a wonderful, supportive family...I will be there if you need me in any way.
    my love and blessings,
    bonjo

  4. Dearest Patti & Curt! "Aloha" all the way from the Great White North! Hearing your news brought us immediately meeting you on the side of the Savior's heart in prayer and oh what a blessed assurance knowing as "time & distance separates us, the Lord God watches in between us."
    Entrusting you the "Great Physician" with a promise we are raising up for you that is very close to our hearts..."Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name;you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior...."
    We remain standing with & for all the way trusting by the time we will have the privilege to be back in Maui you will be ready to seize that steak barbeque we talked about while captivating a gorgeous sunset!
    Great Big Canadian Hugs full of Love covered in Prayer!
    Ron & Judy Prangnell! XOXOXOXO!Doubles for each of YOU!
