Hathcocks' prayer update excerpts

We are so thankful for the celebration of the Birth of Christ! I am reminded of a sermon we heard last week that Jesus is more than a "Baby Story" and that is goes beyond a baby to a relationship. It is a good reminder that our relationship with Jesus is the most important thing and sharing the good news with others. It was a blessing to help out with a Christmas party last week where needy families were blessed with gifts. We are thankful for gathering together with our family and being able to spend time with them. So glad that my dad's health continues to improve. We have made our way to visit family in Mississippi.

Please continue to pray:

Healing for Darrel as he ended up having an infection and dry socket after having his wisdom tooth removed. He is getting better but still has a lot of pain.

My dad had a good visit with the doctor and have pretty much determined that his illness was a side effect of some meds that he was taking. They continue to monitor his blood and will be watching to see how he is doing. Pray for discernment for my dad and the doctors as they wait and see and evaluate things.

Healing for Sophia after being sick with a bad head cold.

Divine appointments as we spend the rest of our time in the states. We will leave January 8th. We will visit my mom and then make our way back to Missouri.

We would keep our focus on Jesus and that He would lay upon our hearts His goals for the next year.

Thank you!

Blessings,
Kimberly Hathcock

Greetings from St. Louis,

We are thankful for all that God has done this week!!!! I cannot tell you how much we value your prayers. As I have been reflecting on this last year there are so many things that have happened that can only be explained by God's power and people praying and nothing that we had planned. We were blessed to help serve at a Christmas party for families who have incarcerated loved ones. We were encouraged by a good report from the doctors concerning my dad's blood work and his improving health. Christmas in America, now that is a different kind of culture shock!

Please continue to pray:

• We will be helping with another big Christmas party on Monday. Pray that we will be helpful and have opportunities to talk with people about Jesus.
• My dad has another big appointment on Tuesday with his doctor. Pray for clarity and wisdom for the doctor. My dad's health would continue to improve and wisdom for him as he starts back with some of his work.
• Healing and comfort for Darrel as he ended up having a wisdom tooth removed on Friday. He was in a lot of pain last night so pray that he will get some relief.
• Wisdom for us as we determine the best way to spend the rest of our time in the states.

Thank you so much for your prayers!

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

Blessings,
Kimberly Hathcock

Greetings from Debrecen,

We are thankful for God's provision this week and how He is clearing the path before us. After a week of trying to discern what God would have us do next we believe that we need to return to the states for about a month hoping that my dad's health will become more stable. We will leave this week and will be in St. Louis. After being released from the hospital last week my dad's health began to worsen so he was readmitted. We are hoping that the doctors have had a breakthrough regarding his medication but they are still doing tests. He was released again from the hospital yesterday and we are hoping for the best.

We are praising God for the things that He is doing in Debrecen. We had a wonderful discipleship time last Wednesday night followed by a time of just worshiping.

Yeah! A young man has prayed to receive Christ. He is from a different faith background and is processing what is means to follow after God.

Please pray:

• Healing for my dad. 
• Wisdom for the doctors, that they will see clearly what has been the source of his illness and the best way to bring about healing. 
• God would continue to put His desires in the hearts of those whom we are discipling. That their hunger for God would grow and that they would have the boldness to share with others. 
• The young man who has prayed, that he would cling to the truth...that God's spirit would fight for him as the battle for truth continues. Wisdom for those who will be talking with him and discipling him. 
• Safety as we travel to the states and that we would be Spirit-filled and led as we minister in whatever God has for us. 
• Continued healing of my back and nerve pain. I am seeing improvement with P.T. and am so grateful. 
• God's grace for traveling. 

Thank you so much!
Blessings, Kimberly
