Help the Pitrone Family in their Time of Need!

As many of you have heard already, Mark Pitrone, the assistant congregational leader of Beit Yacov and who fills in for Eddie on the 5 Minute Update, was in an accident yesterday.  He was out cutting down a tree on his property when the tree fell the wrong way and hit him in the head.  He was airlifted to Akron General Medical Center. We are told it is a bad head injury. He had surgery to have to blood at the back of his brain removed and is in ICU.  He made it through the night. Please also particularly pray for Debbie and David.  It is very hard on them to see Mark like this. Also, please pray for Peter, Hannah, and Daniel.  Debbie got to talk with the doctor while visiting Mark just a little bit ago. Mark has broken his T4 & T5 in his neck, Vertebrae 7 in his back, as well as his nose, the back of the skull, and facial fractures. It is going to be a lllloooonnnnggg road back to recovery. At this point, the key is to get him out of the woods. Please...continue to pray for his full healing and the family! 

There is a specific need for help exists with at this time.  With this type of injury, Mark will be off from work for weeks to months.  We don't know a time frame at this point.  Also, Debbie will be off for a time caring for him.  They live a very frugal life, but with no income, they need help for daily living expenses as well as extra expenses incurred as a result of this medical need. 

Mark has given to so many of us spiritually...would you be willing to give financially in this time of need?
