Prayer Vigil For Luke Hoag And Peyton Stratton

September 19, 2008 By eastwickpress

The Hoosick Falls Community Alliance Church, located at 484 Hill Road, Hoosick Falls, will host a Prayer Vigil from noon on Friday, September 19, through noon on Saturday, September 20, for two local children.

Luke Hoag, 16 month old son of Mike and Jackie (VanDerKar) Hoag, from Hoosick Falls, has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and will begin weekly chemo treatments in Boston on September 22.

Peyton Stratton, 3 year old daughter of Jennifer and Frank Stratton of Shaftsbury, VT, was recently diagnosed with a softball sized cancerous tumor on her kidney, which also spread to her lungs. Recent reports show that the tumor is decreasing in size.

Please feel free to drop in and join us any time throughout this 24 hour period as we pray, in faith, for God’s healing grace in Luke and Peyton’s lives and for strength, encouragement and provision for these families. Feel free to sit and pray in the quiet of your heart, to pray with others and/or to write words of encouragement in the Guest Books that will be given to each of the families.

We believe God is able to do all things and are expecting Him to move mightily on Luke and Peyton’s behalf as we continue to pray. If you’re unable to stop in, please pray wherever you’re at for God’s favor on these young ones. For more information on the Prayer Vigil, contact Gail Smith at 518-686-9888.

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1
