Dear Saints,

Thank you for responding so quickly to the prayer request that I 
submitted yesterday.  I visited with Bro. Wilson last night, and the 
doctor is now saying that he is not certain that the growth is 
cancerous.  There is a very large tumor, and the doctor says that you 
couldn't slip a paper in the opening of his windpipe. 

Today, surgeons will perform a biopsy on the tumor tissue, and they 
are considering the necessity of removing Bro. Wilson's voicebox and 
giving him a tracheonomy.

He did say that he feels in his spirit that he will die.  Please pray 
for his encouragement and the strength of his family.  Also, they do 
not have proper insurance; so, pray that God will provide for their 
needs.

Thanks to all of those who have gotten the word out about Bro. 
Wilson.  Please ask your respective churches to join with us in 
prayer.

Thanks for the concern.

Bro. Matthew Shaw
