Supporting Pastor Joe Gonzalez
I’m seeking to raise funds to assist Pastor Joe Gonzalez and his wife Sheila during the current medical challenge the Lord has given them. Joe will be having a triple bypass/open heart surgery on Monday, April 7, 2025. I hope we can help cover the costs associated with extra living expenses, transportation, and medical expenses not covered by their insurance.
Pastor Joe has been serving in various ministries in the Pacific Northwest for 40 years, and we pray that after this surgery, Joe will continue to serve for many years to come. Even if you are unable to donate, the best we can ask is that you keep Joe and Sheila in your prayers; during the surgery itself on April 7th, his time in the hospital, and the weeks of recovery following, as well as for Sheila and his family to be filled with His perfect peace.
Thank you so much for your contribution!
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance to you and give you peace. ~The Aaronic Blessing

I WILL ALSO BE PRAYING FOR JOE...
May our Savior Yeshua continue to heal you and bless you dear brother Joe. Your loved beyond words.
Hopefully, someone has poured 2nd press 'Olive Oil' according to James 5 for a faster healing and back into the saddle.
You sir mean so very much to me. Ever since I met you I've had such a desire to pray. I talk with our LORD almost continuously during the day. What a great brother in CHRIST you are as well as a blessing as my past and such a dear friend . I pray for your speedy recovery, love you as my brother. Mike

Shalom friends!
I just got a call from Joe, the first since before the surgery, and it was a delight to hear his voice on the other end! Joe and Sheila send their heartfelt gratitude to all of you who have been keeping them covered in prayer and supporting them through this fundraiser. Joe also wanted to correct some information, if it wasn't already mentioned. Originally, they planned a triple bypass, but it ended up being a quadruple bypass! Joe says that he may be released from the hospital on Monday, depending on how things continue in his recovery. Join me in praising Adonai this evening, as we begin the Passover season, for His love, healing, deliverance, redemption, and salvation! There is no one like our G-d!
Blessing in Yeshua and shavu'a tov (have a good week)!

Erev Shabbat Update
April 12th, 2025
I'm happy to report that Pastor Joe is out of the ICU now, praise G-d! He was having some trouble with delirium, caused by being under anesthesia for so long, but that appears to be mostly gone. He ended up having a quadruple bypass, not a triple, as we had expected, so he is still very tired, but they are still getting therapies done, and he is making progress. Thank you so much for your continuing prayers and support!
Tues Evening Update
April 9th, 2025
Shalom, and thank you to everyone who supported Joe and Sheila during this medical crisis. We've nearly reached our halfway point!
During the surgery yesterday, a nurse said that he was doing well and it might not take the full seven hours. By 4:00 pm, we got news that the doctors were finished and Joe was sleeping in the recovery room. This morning, Sheila said that he did well through the night. The medical team has Joe working on his breathing, and at that point, it was going a little more slowly than they'd like, but he was getting there. They got him up out of his chair to march in place, and he did really well with that therapy.
For now, they are keeping him in the ICU so he has all the care that he needs at the start of his recovery. Of course, the goal is to stabilize Joe well enough to have him in a regular hospital room, so we will watch for the Lord to work!
Thank you so very much for your generosity and continued prayers for Joe and Sheila!
Blessings in Yeshua,
Marcella
