He is strong and brave and unflinching. You can imagine my apprehension in sharing this with friends on the other side of the computer whom I may not know. But my father—this very moment—is in surgery.
We knew this day was coming but we tried everything to avoid it. Cortisone shots, steroid injections, physical therapy, acupuncture, and chiropractic care couldn’t relieve the pain my father has lived with for eight years.
Today—this very moment—he’s under the knife of a skilled surgeon. A sharp scalpel in the hands of a healer are cutting open my father’s neck in hopes of healing damaged vertebrae. Four hours of surgery, three doctors in care, and a five children are praying for a miracle healing.
I simply ask that you—this very moment—pray for my daddy. For full healing. For fast recovery. For pain free living. For many more years of ministry, teaching, family dinners, laughter, and birthdays to come. I rarely solicit things on the blog, but I’m brazenly soliciting prayer for the most amazing father in the world.
A million times over, thank you.
You know you got it 🙂
Praying for him and your family! My father has been through this as well… He has had one neck surgery as well as two back surgeries and will have to have one more back surgery soon.
Praying for you all!
Praying for your father and your family…..he will be in my thoughts today and praying for a successful surgery and road to full recovery. =)
Praying for him and your entire family.
Faith requires doing things that some may find, as you put it, “brazen.” Your father has the most beautiful smile! Prayers going up. 🙂
You got it.
Praying for your dad Bianca and peace for all of your family.
You gottem’
We are very found of your father. We attended his church a few years back when we first became Christians and newly weds. We will keep him in prayer as well as your mom and siblings. I will ask for our church to pray for him. Trusting and believing for healing.
Absolutely! I have such a deep respect, admiration for your daddy! And familia! Praying!
Bianca, my husband and I have been praying for your Daddy since Sunday when he we first heard he would be having surgery. Know that we will continue to pray seeking God’s perfect answer for your Dad. We’ve been praying for God to guide the hands of the surgeons. That every person involved in his care either before during or after would look upon him with favor as if they were caring for one of their family members.We are praying that the surgery will be a success with no complications and that there would be no injury whatsoever to his vocal cords and that his pain would be gone and that God would be glorified.
Praying for him. Praying for your family. Praying for YOU.
Heavenly Lord, In the name of your Son who has conquered death and has allowed us to be near you. I ask that your Holy Hand hand of Grace and healing be on Pastor Pancho Juarez. If the heart is ready, God can heal the body. Lord his heart has always geared towards you, so Please Lord, heal his body, bring a quick swift recover to him, and may he even FEEL all the prayers and love that is being sent his way. Thank you Lord, and all this I ask in Jesus Name, Amen.
Heavenly Father we humbly come before you and ask that You have Your hand upon the surgeon and team assisting the doctor as they are working on Pancho right now. Let them do what is needed to bring your humble servant through this surgery, stronger and healthier to continue to be used by You in ministry, family and for all those who are hungry for Your Word. In Jesus name we pray…..AMEN!
Love you all B and praying for our pastor!
Praying in agreement. Hugs
Praying for your father and the family as you all wait. God is faithful!

Heavenly Father,
I lift up our Pastor, Pancho Juarez. Be with him Father, be the hands and minds of the doctors and nurses present. We know Father that you want nothing but the best for your son Pancho and Father we know that you want him to continue to be your hands and feet and so we ask Father God that you please heal him in your precious well and name, Lord Jesus.

Today, I am praying for my pastor, your dad. Thank him for the MINI surprise he gave me last Sunday, will ya? Love you all.
Bianca,
We went to high school together …. read about your dad today and said a prayer for him. I can see how much you love your dad … I know the feeling … my dad was my best friend … the best example of our Heavenly Father one could have!
I, however, suddenly lost him 3 months ago from a heart attack … I know a girl’s love for her dad …. and I know a girls need for her dad … and I know what its like to have that torn away …. so I pray health and many many more birthdays for you to celebrate together as a family. Blessings to you <3
Hi B

When I had a major prayer request I emailed the ministry at his church, so happy to do this in return! Praying!
Standing in faith with you and your family.
We love listening to your dad on Gracefm. He is in our prayers as well as you and your family.
You’re not alone. My dad had a similar (or maybe even the same) surgery last week. I pray that God brings complete healing to your dad.
