Please pray for a man in our community group who had back surgery on Thursday morning. He has been in a lot of pain leading up to the surgery and is still experiencing serious pain.  His wife took him back to the hospital yesterday and they admitted him because they are concerned with the amount of pain he is having.  He is having an MRI and they are trying to control the pain with meds.  Please pray for him and his family as they go through this concerning time.

Pray for healing in my family. We are under spiritual attack.  Thank you.

I have applied for a job that I really want and am praying that this is the job God has for me. Pray I hear back from them soon.

My sweet friend just lost her dog last week. She had to put her down after a long illness.  She is heartbroken.  Pray for peace in her heart today.

Please pray for the following request received from our missionaries in Italy, Brant and Hope Harrell:

I'm sending this request your way from our dear friend and co-worker Craig Quam in Montebelluna Italy. He needs a miracle to get his platelets up so that he can qualify for the last trial treatment that would be available to him for his type of cancer. 

Thank you so much for praying. God is our miracle worker! 

FROM CRAIG:

Silvana and are asking for everyone to urgently pray for my Blood platelets to miraculously rise. Because my Bone marrow is now infiltrated with 80% cancer cells my body is no one able to produce Red cells, immunoglobulin cell or enough platelets to keep me alive.

I have been doing exams for the last three weeks to enter a special clinical trial in the city of Pavia and all the exams seemed to fit the parameters for me to enter this trial. Unfortunately a little over two weeks ago I got infection with fever that lasted ten days and caused my platelets to drop dangerously low.

On Monday August 1st they were only 9000 and a healthy adult male of my weight usual has between 150,000 and 240.000. The last cut off date for me to enter this trial is the 13th of August, So my platelet counts need to rise from 9000 to over 50,0000 for my to enter this trial and be able to use the experimental drug that is basically the last shot (humanly speaking) at killing the cancer cells.

So please pray for a a miraculous rise in my platelet counts.

Favour with the Doctors in Pavia

God’s miraculous healing Hand.

Thank you all God bless for all your prayers, thoughts and words of encouragement.
