Larry Summers

TROY, Alab. – Alabama’s own Mercy Rain Ministries recently saw some personnel changes to the group's ministry team.

LaVerne Sanders of Mercy Rain said, “As most of you know, my daughter, Angela [Causey], has been with us for some time. She has had to turn in her resignation, due to the change in her husband's job situation, etc. This came as a sad shock to us, but we know that they must do what is necessary to take care of their family. She may be moving away, and we are praying God will keep his hand on them, no matter where they go.”

Currently replacing Angela is LaVerne’s other daughter, Crystal Bailey.

“We are extremely thankful that God has just worked things out,” remarked LaVerne Sanders. “God is good! Keep Mercy Rain in your prayers that God will keep His hand on us as we go out and share the Gospel!“

Just before Angela gave her resignation, Mercy Rain Ministries welcomed Larry Summers to the group. Larry Summers, of Enterprise, Alabama, will be filling the baritone position with the group and will have his first concert with Mercy Rain on February 4, 2006.

“I am certain that Larry and his wife, Judy, will be an asset to Mercy Rain,” said LaVerne Sanders. “Larry has been singing for quite some time and was the founding member of his former group, His Lighthouse Quartet. Larry has an awesome voice that you are not soon to forget when you hear him. His harmony blend is spectacular.”

Mercy Rain Ministries is anticipating great things for the year to come.

Earlier this month, a prayer request was sent out for founding member, LaVerne Sanders. LaVerne gives us an update:

“First, I want to thank you for all your prayers, and although the danger has not completely passed, I did receive some good news recently. When all this first started before Christmas, my white cell count was up in the 22,000-23,000 range, and they had noticed spots on my lungs. After going for more blood tests and x-rays, my cell count is still quite high. It is up to 20,000 and should be around 8,500, which is what it was before. My doctor requested to see me immediately after my emergency room visit. He was extremely worried and consulted with several of his colleagues. At that point, they found NO spots on my lungs as originally thought!

I do have the issue of the white cell count and a persistent cough. So, his course of treatment will be: I am to take another round of antibiotics for 10 days. I will go in for another blood test in two weeks. If the count is still high, I will be referred to a lung specialist and a bone marrow specialist. As of now, the only problem they see with my lungs is the Chronic Lung Disease due to my accident 11 years ago. It is just the issue of the blood. I am trusting God in this, and I believe He can do all things. He has brought me this far and I know He will carry me on. I know He has all things in his control, and we should not fear or question, however this old flesh is a little worried. The doctor has assured me that we have time, in the event it would be something major. So, I am trusting God for my healing!

Keep me in your prayers, as I know you have already.”

Mercy Rain Ministries appreciates everyone’s thoughts and prayers during these times of transition for the group.
