When you read Gerald Weston's comments below about Richard Ames recent stroke you will see one of the sad legacies of the church. Instead of rushing him to the hospital because of the stroke, they anointed him and waited, expecting an immediate healing. A logical person does not wait when a person is slurring their speech and is losing feeling in there extremities.
Prayer Request – Mr. Richard Ames
03/06/2017/in Prayer Requests /
Please remember Mr. Richard Ames in your prayers. The message below comes from Headquarters.Dear Fellow Ministers:I want to update you on a situation that occurred this afternoon. Mr. Richard Ames called me to request anointing as he was having a health problem. It was clear that he was having trouble speaking as his speech was slurred and he reported having numbness on his right side. Dr. Winnail, Rod McNair and I anointed him and he was better immediately, but reverted back to the slurring shortly thereafter. We decided to call the paramedics and he was taken to hospital where he is going through a series of tests and will remain there overnight. The problem seems to be intermittent and so far there has been no diagnosis. Initial tests at the hospital were favorable. Your prayers will be greatly appreciated and we will keep you informed when we know more.Kind regards,GEW
