Prayer For Dean

I have a friend named Dean in Oregon who is going to the hospital for heart surgery tomorrow. He is also an atheist. My prayer request is for successful surgery, but even more, that this experience will cause Dean to know the God who loves him and can heal him and come to accept Jesus as his savior. I’m looking forward to opportunities to visit him again when I go back to Oregon. I know that C. S. Lewis was an atheist before he had a life-changing experience and look how God used him! Dean is a good, warm-hearted man, and I appreciate your prayers.  Kay W.
