Praise Report: Thank you, church family, for praying for our son who was driving across the country for a job relocation. Despite several challenges along the way, he made it safely to his destination. We are grateful to God for answered prayer and for each of you taking time from your busy schedules to join us in prayer.  Blessings to you and your family.

Pray that my sister would come back to Jesus and her Lord and savior and surrender control of her life to Him.

I have a friend who needs to be saved and delivered from a drug addiction. Please pray for her.

My friend passed away last Tuesday and left behind a wife, daughter, and sister who are hurting very much. I pray he finds peace and healing and finds joy again.

Please pray for our missionaries to Italy, Brent and Hope Harrell who sent the following updates and prayer requests:

• Praise report! The woman we have been asking for pray for has continued to come to church and has expressed interest in being a part of our church family! We're so encouraged to see the Lord's faithfulness. Please continue to pray for her.

• Pray for a construction worker from Napoli who is doing a job on the towers in our 'hood. He was touched by an outreach that a group did a few weeks ago and he has come to church a couple of times now. Pray for his salvation.

• Please pray for our fall outreach that we are planning to do at the end of October. Pray for wisdom and guidance on what we should do/where we should do it/what would be the most effective to reach our neighborhood with the gospel. Pray for the Lord to be preparing hearts to hear and receive.

• Pray specifically for Micky to know how to best be ministering to our growing youth group. Pray for our youth to be growing in their faith, protected from the fiery darts of the enemy, and that they would be encouraging one another and reaching out to others as well.

• Please continue to pray for the Lord to guide us to our next home as we need to move from our current house by the end of November.

• Pray for the girl's and ladies bible studies that will be starting back up in October.
