Karl & Gladys Volz, Enterprise, AL – On June 25th, Karl woke up with severe chest pain and was taken to the ER where the doctor informed them that he was having a heart attack. He was given a heart cath and diagnosed with having a 100% blocked artery. The result was having his 8th stent implant. They are very thankful for God’s amazing peace and strength during this entire time and for all the prayers and encouragement while Karl was recuperating. Your continued prayers are much appreciated as Karl is working on regaining his strength. Pray for Gladys as she co-teaches a ladies Bible study – it is her joy to share God’s Word and to see the ladies grow in the Lord
