Prayer Requests from Wednesday - 09/25/19
From Pete:
* Thank you to everybody for praying for them while they on their trip. It was a very refreshing time. It's such a blessing to have men trained in the Word who can step in when Pete is gone.
* Please be in prayer for the trip to Oaxaca on 10/17.
* Please pray for John O'Malley. He had open heart surgery today and will be out of commission for 8 weeks. He will be unable to be here for our Fall Bible Conference. Please pray for wisdom for Pete, Brad & the Leadership Team to know what they should do...Redirect the funds elsewhere & not have a Fall Conference?, If we are to have one, who to speak?, or should we instead give a love offering to John? He is totally supported by what comes in for his speaking engagements and will have no income while he is off.
* Please pray for the churches in China. They are still allowed, but are now required by the government to sign a document stating that they will not proselytize (meaning not preach the gospel). They are posting guards outside the churches who are refusing to sign to keep people from going in.
* We have 2 new mission letters on the board. One from the Holmes Family & one from Mike Van Horn & his prison ministry.
From Tom Roller:
* They just received bad health news for Jesse, his son.
* His sister who is going through chemo now has pneumonia.
From Bobby:
Praise because God is continuing to show him how to quit smoking. He has now given up Diet Coke because it was always associated with having a smoke.
From Brandy Roof:
Praise! Her nephew who was premature was able to come home today.
From Mindy Ward:
* Her friend who has breast cancer.
* Linda who has an inoperable brain tumor. I think she said she is not saved.
From Kathi Foster:
Kevin's Uncle Mike does not have Lymphoma but has Prostate Cancer. It has spread and he has been given about a year to live.
* Please pray for their daughter, Shannon. She does not believe in God.
From Shelley Becker:
Jay is having some health issue. I couldn't hear the details. Please pray for Jay - he has helped a lot of people.
From Holly Seabolt:
* She needs wisdom in parenting.
* Please pray for Greg. He has a very demanding & difficult boss and work situation;
From Dan Ingram:
Please pray for Jamie. She also has a very difficult work situation, including a grumpy boss.
From Chris Sanders:
His mom's cousin committed suicide.
From Liz Amhole: ( I can't remember the right way to spell that!)
Please pray for our country. President Trump held a special session on Monday regarding religious persecution around the world. This has not been on any of the news media. One situation in particular is a Pastor So in China. He has been in prison for 2 1/2 years with no visitors or a Bible. China is unwilling to work with us in this situation.
