Pastor Jurek

Not much has changed in Pastor Jurek’s situation. Although he has completed treatment for Lyme disease (borreliosis), since it was not treated for many years, it destroyed the muscles in his body. He is still totally paralyzed and breathes through a respirator and is fed through a feeding tube. The only muscles he has control over are his eyelids and he communicates through blinking his eyes to form words and sentences while someone points to the alphabet. He is very aware and mentally sharp. His wife just called me to report after a doctor’s visit. The doctor confirmed that most of the muscles in his body do not exist anymore and to be prepared for him to pass at any moment in the near future. Please continue to pray for his complete recovery and strength for his wife Alina. In spite of his sickness, the church continues to be strong in the Lord.
