I don’t have an update from Randy for Tuesday…
I do know that on Sunday, they went to the main subway transfer station and held up a poster with a large version of the flyer on it. They would also hand out a regular size one if someone wanted one.
Many people stopped by and expressed their desire to help and offered their condolences. Randy believes that more than 200,000 people went through the stations and would have been able to see their signs.
Randy had a number of appointments today [Tuesday] with various people, but I’m not exactly sure who or what transpired.
But still the bottom line is that we still have not yet located Dad.
Thanks for keeping us in your prayers and thoughts!
-Greg
continuing to hold you all up in our prayers down here in Desert Life Church, Alice Springs, Australia, thanks for allowing us on your blog it is truly wonderful to read your stories and learn more about your dad. I’m thankful that you have such a strong faith, and I pray that The Lord will continue to comfort and strengthen you through this whole experience.
Isaiah 41:10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
John 6:37-39 (MSG)
Every person the Father gives me eventually comes running to me. And once that person is with me, I hold on and don’t let go.
I came down from heaven not to follow my own whim but to accomplish the will of the One who sent me.
“This, in a nutshell, is that will: that everything handed over to me by the Father be completed—not a single detail missed—and at the wrap-up of time I have everything and everyone put together, upright and whole.
Join me in praying today that if someone out there knows about this, they will step forward, or in some way communicate.
We are still praying in this household for your search effort and your entire family.
Thank you for the blog updates. May God continue to uphold you with strength, courage and the assurance of God’s love.
Dear Greg,
Just wanted you to know that, although I don’t personally know your dad or your family, there are many of us out here who are keeping you close in prayer and anxiously following your updates. Your family stories are heartwarming and make me feel like I know you and your family, if only in retrospection. Just, again, wanted you to know how much we care and hope that there will be some closure for you and your family. God obviously knows that you have big shoulders! And, He’ll also be there to carry you when needed! Praying for you all!
I just read of your father’s situation this morning, but have immediately begun to pray for him, and for you, his family, also. Wish I could do more. I promise to remember him daily in prayer and to keep abreast of your updates. May God make His presence felt keenly amongst you, and may He guard your father even now. Respectfully, Randy
I am sending our thoughts and prayers to your father, mother, you, and your families during this horrible situation! I have been following your updates since the beginning and thank you for sharing your fathers life experiences with all of us! My heart goes out to all of you!!
I can’t imagine the pain and frustrations you and your family are experiencing. I do know, as you do, that God is somehow over everything. Ps. 73: 25-26 promises “Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” and in Is. 41:10 (I’m sure you have read this often lately) Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” Let God hold onto you hand – He is able – to help you through this and be with your Dad and guide everyone.
Nola Aichele is my sister and years ago when I needed help she got me an appointment with him. He was able to help and talked straight with me to make sure I followed though with his advice. I’m so grateful for his help!
May God bless you and keep you. Prayers (including the prayers of our church from the very beginning) Winnetta
As a person who loves both the city of Kiev and people who dedicate themselves to helping others, I am sending you and your family prayers of strength and hope from across the US. Looking forward to a happy update.
continuing in prayer ….
Continuing to pray for your dad, and for all of you.
And thank you, Greg, for your updates. I keep clicking “refresh” to see whether there’s any new news. Anticipating the message “He’s found!”
Meanwhile, may God continue to comfort and encourage you all!
Hi Greg,
I am so sorry about all of this, this truly unbelievable. My mom told me about it as soon has she heard there in Yakima. Your Dad and your family are in our thoughts and prays.
You’re doing such an amazing job keeping us all very updated. Oh, Greg….I wish I had some kind of words of comfort or some stone yet to be turned. You’re in the middle of the marathon now, and I wish I could somehow tell you where the finish line is. We continue to hold you in our prayers and hearts.
I continue to think of Jay every day with so much affection. He was here every day to walk with Art–typical Jay. He was always looking for something nice he could do for someone and acted on it, The whole family is in my prayers . Fondly Jane Anderson–a grateful neighbor.
Our 2 study and prayer groups as well as myself are keeping this problem in our prayers. God is still on the throne and knows where Dr. Jay Sloop is. There will be a lesson for all of us in this painful experience. There always is with God. Keep strong with God’s help. God bless all of you.
I keep praying several times during the day and also if I wake up during the night I send up a prayer for Dr Jay and for all your family.Jay was always with us Sabbath morning for the intercessory prayer time. Now it is our turn to pray for him and you his family.
Prayers
Ruth & Ed MacKenzie
