We received word today that Pam, George and Barbara Corey's daughter,  
whom some of you know, got a kidney!
She'd been on the transplant list for 3 years.  Praise God!   We  
rejoice w/them!

Now keep praying for Ken Mick Jr.   Transplant surgery between Rich  
and Ken is scheduled for January 16th.   Tho he has the support he  
needs for his expenses during recovery and God has graciously  
provided it, we haven't collected all the money Rich needs to be off  
work a minimum of 1 month after the transplant on recovery.  Because  
of organ donor laws, donors have to collect money separately (Ken  
can't "buy" a kidney, or put himself in a position for it to be  
questioned).  This means that he's relying on believers to help make  
this possible and it's the only way the surgery will go forward on  
Jan. 16th.

If you want to see the latest on this effort, go to  
www.cafebiblia.com and scroll down to the category called Mick/ 
Thorburn Kidney, where our church elder has posted the latest update  
on the effort.  Also, you can go to our family website  
www.thorburnfamily.com     Many have generously given to this effort  
for Ken.   We still have about $1500 to go in order to go through w/ 
the surgery, to cover minimum obligations for the recovery time.

In Christ,  Anna Thorburn
