HEALTH-RELATED REQUESTS

Harmon Schmelzenbach Sr.

Retired missionary Harmon Schmelzenbach Sr. was hospitalized recently after exhibiting signs of a stroke. The MRIs did not show conclusively whether there was a stroke, and the doctors are not certain what they are dealing with is beyond the reality of progressive Parkinson’s. They’ve found infection in his system and the indication is that this could contribute to the symptoms.

Harmon’s wife, Beverly, writes: "I really can feel the presence of God very close to me. Please let everyone know how much I appreciate their prayers!" The Schmelzenbachs served in South Africa, Namibia, Swaziland, Kenya, Ethiopia, and the U.S. 

Carol Zurcher

Retired missionary Carol Zurcher was recently hospitalized in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, USA, where she was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. She is now at home recuperating with the help of her daughter and son-in-law. Carol and her late husband, Norman, served as missionaries on the Africa Region for 37 years.
