Please pray for my sister and her husband who are battling COVID. Her husband got it first and is getting better, but my sister has fibromyalgia and is suffering terribly with the pain of it that is made horribly worse by COVID.  She's in agony most every moment of every day, so my prayers are for her to be able to truly sleep (which is difficult for her normally) and rest to recuperate.

A dear friend lost her husband of 40 years a couple weeks ago due to a heart attack after he'd endured a week battling COVID. Now her grown son is in the ICU with COVID.  I don't believe any are believers, so please pray for her and her family that they may be comforted AND see the hand of God in their midst.

Please pray for Afghanistan, for the women who are being raped and sold into sex trafficking. Pray for the men as they protect their families. Pray for the children facing fear and experiencing their families being ripped apart.

Please pray for my friend to be healed and for her to open up to Jesus and all He has for her.

Please pray for our missionaries to Romania, Brian and Cynthia Fouts who sent the following updates and prayer requests:

• Pray for Kaidon and Sage and all the kids from the after-school program as they enjoy the black sea. Asking for protection, fun, safety and no drama with the kids fighting.

• Pray for one of the ladies in our church whose Dad has been struggling with accepting he is a diabetic. She is expecting a baby and is very excited about the news. Pray for a healthy pregnancy and adjusting. Her boy who attends church is 11 years old, so there will be a lot of changes for their family.
