Surgery - Arturo Gomez

Greetings in the Name of the Lord Jesus.

Briefly, we need URGENTprayer and financial aid for Arturo Gomez. Arturo is a relatively newbeliever. He has already won several people to the Lord in his zeal forhis Savior. But - he has a life-threatening condition. His entire intestinal tract is saturated with precancerous polyps, and has to be almost entirely removed.

Arturo is on the Social Security medical system here in Mexico (which is really socialized medicine) but we found out they were going to remove all his intestinal tract and give him a permanent colostomy thing. We arranged for him to see Linda's oncologist (the number one oncologist in Mexico) and he referred us to Dr Juan Pablo Peña, the only doctor that does the kind of operation that Arturo needs - for healing and not maiming.

Arturo is 36 years old. (See photo.) He has a wife and baby girl. The doctors are wildly reducing their honorariums, but still with the special equipment needed and the hospital, the operation will cost $15,000 dollars. We asked the doctor how soon this should be done. He said, 'Last week, if not earlier!'

Would you please pray for Arturo, and for the money needed for his surgery? As I said - its really urgent!! Thank you. We´ll keep you informed.

In Jesus,
Roger & Linda
