Please lift up Gloria in your prayers.
On April 16, 2004 tragedy struck a very
special little girl, Gloria.
On that painful day, Gloria fell into a
jacuzzi and didn't take a breath for 15
minutes. Doctors said the damage to
her brain was so severe she would
never open her eyes or know her own
family.
But after 2 months in the hospital
Gloria was strong enough to go home.
Today, her life and the lives of her
family are much different than before.
Gloria is currently in a semi-vegetative
state and requires around the clock
nursing care.
Gloria is not defeated!
Her family believes in the healing
power of Jesus Christ. Already she has
come much farther than doctors
expected. Please pray for Gloria's
continued healing and for the
Endermann family
