Bishop Parkes announced he will undergo surgery to amputate his right foot on June 9, 2022, and he is grateful for your prayers, support, and patience during this time. It's a major surgery with a long healing and recovery process. He needs our prayers more than ever during this difficult time. That’s why you are needed to spread H.O.P.E.
H.O.P.E. stands for Hundreds Of Prayers Everyone. We are asking everyone to offer a prayer for Bishop Parkes and to show support for him in a variety of ways.
