Her surgery went good. The doctor put a pin and a plate in her hip and had to give her a pint of blood. She is doing really well. They plan to get her up and walk her tomorrow. Thanks for the prayers.

Brandi Benson
From Brandi’s mother:
I would like to be able to give updates on Brandi until we all are able to return to church. She is doing so much better and is ahead of schedule. God has truly gotten Brandi and the family through this. Brandi is walking on her own without help, walking up and down stairs without help, bending her knee to almost a normal position, and her pain is lessening each week. She is only 4 weeks out of surgery.
Thank you
Tammy Benson

Martha Jones
From Pastor Jim:
Martha and I visited with Martha Jones at the Hospice facility in Goldsboro today. She was very weak, very tired. Her memory too is failing her more and more. We had prayer with her and assured her that the church family was praying for her. She is in no pain; just very tired. Be much in prayer for her.
Becky Harden
From Pastor Jim:
We talked with Dan last night. Becky is about the same. She was sleeping at the time of our call. We asked Dan if there was anything we could do – He simply asked for prayer. Becky can’t eat anything by mouth. Dan said he would feel bad if we brought him some fried chicken and she couldn’t have any. Be much in prayer for them. We can help Becky by supporting her outreach program to the nursing homes this month.
Shirley Hatcher
From Pastor Jim:
January 22nd – Martha and I visited with Mrs. Shirly today at Carolina House. Her accommodations are wonderful, she has a good positive attitude and we visited around with her to meet some of her friends also staying there. Shirly is not expected to stay forever, but just until such time as her medications can be properly balanced.
Pray that this balance come quickly!
Becky Harden
From Pastor Jim:
January 22nd – Spoke with Dan today, Becky is still very uncomfortable with tubes here and there. Her ulcer is still leaking, causing pain and a bit of nausea. Becky will have to live with the tubes for approximately three to four weeks in hopes that the ulcerated area will heal. They will probably be coming home Thursday or Friday.
Keep them in your prayers.
