Prayer Vigil for Jack and Anita

> Thursday 7 PM - Friday 7 PM
> May 3 – 4
> 15-minute intervals
> Sign up here for a scheduled time

Join the Prayer Vigil. For all of us who’ve said, “Let me know if there’s something I can do,” now there’s a perfect opportunity. A prayer vigil is being planned specifically for Jack and Anita. You are welcomed and encouraged to participate.

Blocks of prayer time in 15 minute intervals are being scheduled. Beginning this Thursday night (tomorrow) at 7 and going round-the-clock til Friday night at 7, the vigil will have someone praying at all times for Jack and Anita. Everyone is needed, every prayer important. Please agree to a scheduled time by:
- replying in the “comments” below with your preference
or
- emailing me with your preference (cindyabell@gmail.com)

How to sign up. I know using the “comments” below can be a bit cumbersome, but it will allow others to see right away what times you prefer, so they may choose another. So use it if you can! If you can’t, though, send an email directly to me and I’ll get you signed up. I will compile the list and post it here so you will know when your time is. If anytime is okay with you, please indicate that and I'll schedule you where you're most needed. (Please send me the NUMBER associated with the block of time - that helps alot.)

What to pray for. Jack and Anita both need our prayers, in many different ways. You pray in the way you feel is needed and effective. Suggestions might be around these lines:

- Jack has an MRI on Friday that will judge how well chemo’s been working. This is an important milestone. A good report will allow doctors to pursue another exciting new option, proton therapy.
- Hard decisions continually must be made, such as continuing chemo versus the debilitating effects it has on the body: nausea, dehydration, risk.
- Health care professionals often find it systematically difficult to work together across system lines; communication among them and collaborative strategies are key.
- Anita faces much stress: many new tasks, concern for her husband, pain as she sees him struggle, being primary communicator to everyone, decisions. Community of care around her and spiritual nurturing, as well as the practical concerns of every day, are all important items to pray about on her behalf.
- You may have special ways you find to pray – would you be willing to share them (below) in comments? or email them to me to post?
- Of course, we pray for outcomes that are miraculous, pain to be assuaged, God’s comforting spirit to be present, courage, peace, stamina, - all with continued faith and hope.

Where to pray. If you are in or near the CBF Resource Center in Atlanta, a special, quiet place will be set aside – most likely the vacant room next to Jack’s office. Otherwise, use any spot you find around the globe that is good for you to communicate with God.

Times to choose from. Below is the day, broken into 15-minute intervals in Eastern Standard Time. Those of you around the world who wish to participate, please convert your time zone into EST when you make your request. The times are numbered so you can just give the number associated with your block of time. Thursday (tomorrow, May 3) at noon we will begin to compile the list and will post it as soon after that as possible. It will be posted here on the blog, or ask me and I can email it to you individually.

Thanks so much for participating, for encouraging others to participate, and for your continued prayer and love for Jack and Anita. Check back here Thursday afternoon and evening for your "assignment!"
