Praise Report! Here is an update on the urgent request that we prayed for on Tuesday. “Derrick did not have to have surgery! Please pray that he wouldn’t need surgery at all, that the abscess and infection on his shoulder would be completely drained, that his white counts would continue rise and that he would be released soon. Please pray that because his chemo has been suspended, he is still without tumor growth.”

Please pray for a man whose son was kidnapped by his ex and taken out of the country. There is dabbling in the occult and a clearly demonic tone in the whole situation. Pray for his little boy. This man has a love for his son and even his ex in that he does not wish evil upon them but is praying for their protection, salvation and return. Pray for his heart to remain pure and free from bitterness and doubt of God. Pray for God to send His forces of light to win the battle in the spiritually dark place where they and for His Holy Spirit to win the lives of those involved to Christ. Pray for God to provide a lawyer who will fight for him as well as for wisdom on some international resources. His ex’s new flame seems to have some abusive tendencies and there may be more to the story. Pray for God’s good hand of mercy to prevail and for the enemy to be shut out of this one.

Please pray for my mom, that she would know the Lord more and have a hunger for Him.

Pray for direction and wisdom for our family as we are making decisions.

Please pray for a woman who wants to share the gospel with women in jail in Mexico.

Please pray for the salvation of my grandparents.
