Come, Lift Up Your Sorrows

CHORUS:
"If you are wounded, if you are alone...
Come find the worth of God, that only the suffering seek."

— "Come Lift Up Your Sorrows," Michael Card, The Hidden Face of God, 2007

Each time we screen patients we encounter suffering people. They struggle to hold back tears, desperately hoping to be helped. We try to give them fair consideration. Many times we agonize. Then we either choose to operate on them, or we offer to guide or give resources to the host surgeons to help (or comfort) beyond what we can do.

Thank you for your continued support and prayers! We especially ask for your prayers for: (1) our team's well-being, safety, and effectiveness, (2) wisdom, and (3) for successful surgeries . . . replacing sorrows and fears.

And if you feel led to help make future surgeries possible, you may make a tax-exempt donation by check or a secure link through PayPal at our website.

In Him, Our Health and Hope, and With Gratitude,

Randy + Ginger, Kevin + Ann & Emma, BC, Patsy, Leslie, Elise, Gabi, and Shelly | Surgical Team 32
