Message From Doug

Young Couples ABF,

Be thanking God for His continued hand on the Boltons as Christine perseveres at St. Vincent Women's Hospital in Indianapolis. Although Christine is regularly not feeling well due to the meds and the physical growth of the babies in and on her body, the pregnancy, as of today, is at 25 weeks.

Be praying intercessory prayers to God for Christine and Shane as well. The constant physical discomfort and wear on Christine is getting wearisome for her. The emotional wear of being in bed all the time can be a great challenge for them. The spiritual battle of everything combined together is a great burden on this dear couple.

How could you love on the Boltons? I'm glad you asked. Here are some practical suggestions:

- PRAY, PRAY, PRAY (for Christine, Shane, the babies, the hospital staff, and God's living grace & glory)

- Send and email of encouragement. Shane and Christine would love to here what you are up to so that they can better stay in the loop of life outside of hospital room 241. Send an email of encouragement and write in such a way that you are NOT expecting a reply. You can email them at shanebolton@hotmail.com or boltonstv@aol.com.

- Send a card/letter to: St. Vincents Women's Hospital, c/o Room 241, 8111 Township Line Road, Indianapolis, IN 46260.

Thanks for loving on one of the saints (Col. 1:4) through your prayers, letters, time, and gifts! Doug
