The mission of our site is to bring unity around theological distinctives that are historically Baptist. Prayer, while not distinctive to Baptists only, is a way that all people of the Christian faith come together for guidance and comfort from the Father. This is why we present the following request.
Our brother and dear friend in Christ, Tim Rogers, is at the hospital with his mom who is dealing with a blood clot in her lungs. We at SBC Today ask that all our readers lift Tim’s mom, his family, and Tim himself to the Lord in prayer.
Thanks and God Bless.
*****************UPDATE****************
I just talked with Tim and they have moved his mother to ICU. She was on the heart floor, but it has gotten worse. What started out as a simple operation from a fall has turned into this. Tim asks to keep the prayers coming.
*****************UPDATE 11/3 @ 2:45 PM CDT****************
Tim’s mother is making remarkable progress. While doctors are stopping short of calling it miraculous, she certainly isn’t. There is still a clot, and they are still watching it, but with much more optimism than before. Tim is on his way home to preach tomorrow.
*********FINAL UPDATE 11/5**************
My mother is in a private room. She is doing well and beginning Physical Therapy on her hand. She went into the hospital with a fractured wrist which needed to be surgically repaired. She had several blood clots form in her pulmonary artery. She is now doing well. Please continue to pray as she recovers. Thank you all for the prayers you have voiced to our Father on behalf of my mother. God’s Grace has been experienced in a special way in the Rogers family.
may the Lord give tim and his family much grace and comfort during this trial.

May God’s grace be upon Tim, his Mother and all the family throughout this time in mighty power and a great manifestation of presence.

May Tim and his family feel the presence of the Spirit surrounding them at this time, holding them up in His strength, bringing them His peace, resting in His arms, as they devote their energy and prayers into the care and well-being of Tim’s mother.
May our Father in heaven guide the doctors, leading them to the wisdom necessary to bring healing to her body.

Tim: I will be praying, these are not just words for comfort. I am praying for you today.
Tim,
Our Lord grant you and your family grace and strength, I know, is the prayers of all, Brother Tim.
SBCToday,

Tim,
As I pray tonight, I am asking the Lord to bless you with peace and strength through these challenging circumstances. May the grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, be with you and your family.
By Grace Alone,
Scott
SBC TODAYers,
I just noticed something. It shows me once again how great God is. Every hour, just about on the hour, He has led at least one of us to this post to stand in the gap for Tim and his family.
Good is Good…All the Time!
Sola Gratia!
UPDATE:
I just spoke with Tim and he shared they are trying to determine how to best approach the situation. Pray they do not have to go the route of using what is known as “Blood Clot Busters” which can have other bad effects.
Tim, there are indeed many praying for you and your family!
To all,
My anti-spam word was “love”.
I want to thank all of you for your prayers and concerns. The hospital has a hotel attached and we are staying here tonight. We have just checked into our room and have a wireless connection.
I will update you on everything as time permits, but suffice it to say that Mama fell and broke her wrist Thursday, October 25 and went for surgery on Tuesday October 30. She has had a clot to move into her Pulmonary Artery. This is taxing her heart and making it become week. Mama is a diabetic and her kidneys are not what they should be, so they have begun to shut down. The are very hesitant to give her the “clot-buster” medicine because of the surgery. They are limited with other meds because of her kidney weakness. So they are giving heparin in order to bust up the clot little-by-little and pray that it works. If the clot begins to move they are going to give the “clot buster” medicines and deal with the outcome as they can.
Pray for:
Mama to remain strong in her attitude.
The clot to break up on its own without moving.
My family. I have unsaved siblings and they have looked to me for answers. Also, pray that they will be open to hearing the Gospel.
Pray for Mama’s Pastor, Brad Reynolds as he ministers to my family. I am blessed to know that Mama has a Pastor that minister’s to her needs. He traveled 25 miles between classes to visit with her today.
Thank you all for your prayers and I know what I have read is more than just words. My family can certainly feel God’s answers to your prayers.
Blessings,
Tim
You are in our prayers
You remain in my prayers bro
