Hello Brethren, here is an update on the Pettys and their health challenges with Covid. Randy D

Here is the latest update from both Gary and Kim Petty.   Vic and I have both spoken to Gary and, thankfully, he is making progress.   Gary asked Kim to send the following update:  “Gary is still in the hospital going through the various COVID protocol. He is still on oxygen but they have been able to decrease it some. Hopefully he will be allowed to come home in two days. It will take some time to fully recover once he is home. We are very thankful for the outpouring of prayers and concern.” 

Kim had also contracted COVID around the same time as Gary.   I also asked her to give us an update.   Kim writes, “I am feeling better, just weak. Yesterday, I took a home COVID test to see if I was still contagious. It came out negative. I called my doctor's office & spoke to the nurse. She said it had been 14 days & I could come out of quarantine.  Our daughters came to town on Sunday. They have been making sure I have plenty of good meals. They've also taken things to the hospital to be given to Gary. It's been wonderful having them here.  Thank you for your prayers and concern for both of us.”

I know we are all grateful to our great God for His blessing upon Gary and Kim and that we will all continue to beseech God for a complete healing for Gary.  As you likely know, a number of ministers and members have been recently affected by COVID and have struggled, and may still be struggling, in varying degrees.  Please let me know if any of you would like a prayer request sent to our ministry and if there is any way that MMS may be of greater service to you all.
