Ms. Lela Diane Jones is the daughter of Rev. Dr. Willie J. Jones and the late Sarah Allen Jones. She is also the sister of Ashley E. Jones, all of Crystal Springs, MS. Lela D. Jones has unfortunately been stricken with a large malignant tumor that sits on the right side of her chest and collarbone. Physicians have described the tumor to be the size of a large apple. The cancerous tumor has roots that have metastasized down her right side, pressing against her spinal cord and resting upon her right lung and arm.

This second stage malignant tumor requires advanced vital surgery, immediately, followed by chemotherapy and radiation treatments. In an attempt to save her life, she is scheduled for a crucial, life-threatening surgery in June 2020. Ms. Lela Jones is a 45 year old single mother of two and grandmother of five. If you can be of any assistance to help with this extensive surgery, please support this cause. No amount is too small, and will be wisely used and greatly appreciated.

We sincerely ask for your prayers  as we seek God for His miracle-working POWER! "Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him." - James 5:14-15 KJV
