Please pray for Gary Oliver today!

May 6, 2010

Influencer Brothers all over the world: Please take a moment and pray for a dear friend to our ministry, Gary Oliver.  You may know of Gary's story and all the tragedy he has faced in the past few years, recently losing his wife and his son. He is now in Houston, undergoing a 10-hour surgery to remove cancer which has returned to his tongue.  They will be delicately removing the cancerous parts of his tongue and reconstructing his tongue with tissue from other parts of his body.  For 3 weeks following the surgery, he will not be able to eat or speak with his mouth and will have to be fed through a tube in his nose. Gary is a prominent, national speaker on marriage and family and leads the Center for Marital Studies at John Brown University.  Please pray for a successful surgery and a quick recovery, so that Gary can resume his life of using his gifts to help marriages.  His faith is strong, and his new wife, Linda, who God blessed him with this past year, is right by his side. Please lift our brother up to our gracious Father today. Thank you.
