Prayer Request for Kurt Dibble Family
Thank you for praying for Kurt Dibble during his recent illness.
I have received word from Pastor J. W. Depew that Kurt Dibble passed into the presence of the Lord this morning. Kurt had suffered a massive heart attack almost two weeks ago and had been in intensive care since the incident.
Kurt had been involved in church planting, pastoring, children's work and ministry of all types all of his life having been born into a missionary family. He and his wife Marsha were with Bancroft Gospel Ministry for a short time, but spent most of their lives working with Child Evangelism Fellowship. Kurt was an Elder in the Evangelical Methodist Church. He was also an accomplished musician and was active in leading music in many churches during his lifetime. He and Marsha were often called on to provide special music in revival and conference meetings.
Kurt had a heart for the children and a heart for the lost of any age. He will be missed by those he ministered to and those he ministered with.
Please pray for God's special grace for Marsha and the family.

Prayer Request - Kurt Dibble
Prayer Request:
Kurt Dibble, long-time missionary with Child Evangelism Fellowship and helper in various congregations, suffered a major heart attack last Monday. He is still in intensive care on a ventilator. His wife, Marsha, reported last night that they hope to try to remove the ventilator today or tomorrow. The fact that he has survived since the heart attack is amazing and only due to God's grace. She asks that we pray for the Lord to allow an easy transition from the use of the breathing apparatus to Kurt breathing on his own and that the Lord would raise him up from this life threatening situation.
Thank you for praying.
