Dear friends

Grace and I would like you to pray for our granddaughter Alexis, age 10. Katrina and Alexis are at the emergency room of the best hospital in Charlotte right now. (Alexis was diagnosed with a kidney problem when she was 4 years old. She seemed to outgrow the problem but in the past year she had to go back to being on medicine.) We noticed her face looked blotted so Katrina took her to her family physician this afternoon. The urine and blood tests results were "off the charts bad" but they told Katrina that the kidney specialist would get in contact with her and tell her what to do. So they returned home and waited for the call.

After several calls back to the after office hours staff, at 10:00 tonight she was told to take her to CMC hospital in Charlotte (an hour away). Paul and I are at home with Autumn and Aubrey. I offered to go along to the hospital but Katrina preferred we stay here and get a good night's sleep. PLEASE PRAY FOR GOD'S HEALING TOUCH AND WISDOM FOR THE DOCTOR'S AND GOD'S MERCY AND GRACE IN ALL OF OUR LIVES. may KATRINA AND ALEXIS EXPERIENCE GOD'S PRESENCE AND SUPER NATURAL PEACE AND POWER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS.

While I have you online, we want to share some recent news and answers to your prayers on our behalf. Yesterday we received our invitation to return to Ghana from May through December. We will need continued support and increased support for our airfare and living expenses. I will update our website with further information. www.pgclosius.com

Our love and appreciation to you for your friendship and prayers.

Paul and Grace
