"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves & pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven & will forgive their sin, & heal their land. II Chronicles 7:14
PRAISE: It's 9:45 pm Tuesday evening and Eithne just called me to tell me her biopsy report came back benign...no cancer cells! God has answered our prayers for my friend and His servant Eithne. Thank you all for bringing her to God and asking for a healing. She believes (and I think we can all agree) that this is a miracle. The surgeon told her today that this type of growth is 98% malignant!

Urgent prayer needed for my dear friend Eithne. She had tests done today that revealed a possible need for major surgery. She is awaiting biopsy results within the next 48 hours. Please pray for spiritual, emotional, physical and financial needs. Though her faith is very strong, her needs are great at this time. Thank you.

PRAISE:  The surgeon feels that things went well.  Bleu is home and recovering without a lot of fatigue.  Please pray for his continued healing and that his breathing will be greatly improved for having the surgery.

Bleu had surgery August 30th.  Please keep him in your prayers as he will be in the hospital tonight, then recovering at home for several weeks.

Please pray for the a church member, Marie, and her family, Her daughter Cathy, is in the hospital dying from bone cancer which has now spread to her liver. Cathy has two daughters- one 12, and the other I think is teen-aged. I have not visited at Marie's request. Cathy doesn't want visitors, and is susceptible to infection.  Marie is spending all day- 12 hours at the hospital.  Pray for strength and that if the Lord wants to take Cathy home, that she will not linger. Also pray for comfort  for her daughters and husband. Thanks. Ann_van 8/30/2010
My orthopedic doctor today thinks it is time to begin considering replacing the opposite hip from the one almost three years ago as it is bone on bone.  Would like prayer as I also pray about this and when or whether to do it with the further deterioration of my breathing this summer.  Your prayers are much appreciated.

UPDATE:  You may have prayed too hard... there's not been a single person here today (Saturday).
*big smiles*

Please pray as we are running a 3-week garage sale, 5 days a week from 9 am - 7 pm.  I had a ton of help setting up the stuff in storage and the garage, (Thanks to a visit from GlorytoGod), but there is a ton of stuff from inside of the house to get out yet.  I am exhausted from just the first few days - please pray for strength to get this job done!

Please keep my grandfather, Lee, in your thoughts and prayers.  He had a test last week sometime that showed a spot on his kidney and he was having some "internal issues."  He went Monday for a Sonogram of his kidney and that came back normal.  September 7th they are doing another test to check something else.  Also, my step dad, Jamie, had a CT this morning to determine why he has some knots in his stomach, so praying that there is nothing serious in either one.  Thank you!

UPDATE:  My daughter-in-law is doing fine, she did not fall on her stomach as I had thought, but on her hands and knees. But pray for me as I got a cold virus and if she has her baby soon I won't be able to visit.


Please pray for my 36 week pregnant daughter-in-law who had a bad fall in her living room this evening. She is at the hospital and they are checking her out. Pray that she and the baby will be ok. Thankful that she did not hit her head, but she fell forward on her stomach. Thank you.

Please pray for my cousin Susan and her daughters this week. Monday Becky is having studies done on her heart. (She had open heart surgery 20 years ago at age 3 months.) Kelly  starts college this week and will be several hundred miles from her mom and sister. As a single parent, Susan is really having a struggle. Thank you.. UPDATE  my grandson...He starts school on Wednesday and is doing great! TY for your prayers.. Carol K. 8/23/2010
Prayer: I received an email today from the "hotline" on my mother's side of the family. My cousin, Alice, went to her local ER Sunday night with extreme stomach pain. She will be undergoing surgery tomorrow for stomach cancer. Please pray that they will be able to get it all. Thank yoy, and God Bless. Ann_van 8/23/2010
PRAISE:  I am so thankful that the Lord allowed GlorytoGod to come and help get my garage sale set up.  What a lot of stuff.  It was so much easier with someone else pricing and I was able to let a LOT of stuff go that I doubt I would have on my own. Prayers for her safety as she travels home.

On the home front, the problems are still severe and we still need your prayers.  Thank you for praying "God's will be done"!  I am struggling with a lot of depression and hopelessness, but need prayers to have the courage to PRAISE the LORD in the midst of this storm.

I am coming to you today to ask if you would keep me in your prayers! I have been really ill so far in the year of 2010, and last week I found out I might have cancer. I am still recovering some from the brain surgery I had last year! My prayer request is that God's will be done! If I am going through this to help save a soul for Christ, lead the lost to him, to help someone find healing in Jesus, or whatever it might be - if the Lord is using me, then I know this trial is worth it! So please pray "God's will be done in my life" For I know when he is finished O will be healed!!  I will find out Tuesday if I have cancer or not! God Bless you all. Thanks Jenn 8/16/2010
UPDATE:  Unfortunately Roy had to have his leg amputated at mid-calf this past Thursday. He is at the VA hospital in Fayetteville, and unfortunately because of limited finances and his wife's (Remese) ongoing back trouble she was unable to be there. Their finances are so bad that she is here in Springfield, MO selling their antique furniture but not having much luck. Please pray for their finances, peace, comfort, understanding and acceptance through this loss. Thank you very much.

Dear brother's and sister's. Thank you for your continuing prayers for me. I have an urgent Prayer request. Please Pray for Roy and Remese - a wonderful couple. Roy has had diabetes for years. He has had to have 2 toes removed and this week they are contemplating removing his foot. They are very devastated. Please Ppay for a miraculous healing for Roy and for peace, love and comfort through the Holy Spirit. GBU ♥

UPDATE:  Our Book Study on "The Steps to Freedom in Christ" by Neil T. Anderson began on Monday, August 9th, 9 pm EST and will run about 8 weeks.  If you wish to 'catch up' or 'join us' just for the conversational portion - you are welcome to do so. 

Also consider reading three of his books: "Victory over the Darkness" "The Bondage Breaker" and "Who I am in Christ" as these will compliment the short study book that we will be doing.

Ongoing Need:  We are 'kept online as a result of donations from all of you who use the room and make contributions when you are able.  Is God calling you to be a regular financial donor to this site?  Could you commit to making a monthly donation of whatever amount the Lord leads you to make?  If you would like to make a monthly (or one-time) contribution, contact Shep or visit the donation tab above!

As we continue to grow, we also need greeters.  There is a volunteer tab above and you can download a sheet to share your interest as greeter, a prayer warrior, or something else on the sheet.  Pray, as we will surely also do, that God leads the people HE wants to fill these positions to help alleviate the responsibility from falling on just a small few.  If you cannot volunteer, remember, EVERYONE can pray!
