Greater Portland Baptist Church

Keith and Donna South: March 2006

We are already blowing through 2007! We have had new faces in all services and ministries and have had one young person accept Christ! We are in process of planning a baptismal service for sometime in March. Pray for some of our newer families to be faithful, grow, and begin to serve the Lord through His church.

The family is doing well. Glenn and Jennifer are both working in SLC. Jeff is loving college and doing well. Brad & Doug are balancing work with school, sometimes better than others but it is a good learning experience for them. Donna is doing great. PTL! We just finished her biannual blood work and the Dr. was very pleased. We told him we are now using glyconutrients and he was interested to know more. Why? Because Donna's blood sugar has stabilized (no drugs), she has been extremely lactose intolerant for over twenty years but is no longer. She can eat any dairy products she wants! PTL! Also, her cholesterol has come down and the Dr. has agreed to take her off the drug she was using for that also! We continue to pray that these nutrients will help her body fight off the debilitating effects of her Parkinson and also rid her of any possibility of cancer. We are praising the Lord for leading us to these nutrients and continue to ask Him to use them to get Donna off the drugs and return her health to her. We also realize that she has only been taking them for about six months so we have a ways to go. Now, if that's not the Lord's will, we will still love Him and serve Him with all of our being. He will receive our praise no matter what course He chooses. But already the Lord has answered pray in reducing the amount of drug costs each month. When I told our Dr. I'd rather pay $300/mo on food nutrients that God has designed for the body instead of $500/mo for pharmaceuticals he heartily agreed. That my friends, is also praise!
