I have a friend whose daughter in law is having heart issues and she is stressing that it's NOT good. She has an appointment on Thursday. Her husband is also worried for her.  Please pray for healing, peace, and comfort for them.

My son got Bullis impetigo from childcare. It’s spread now to his whole body. Please pray that the medication kicks in and it goes away. It’s worrying me.

Prayer request for my mom Susan, she has a rare type of bone marrow cancer and will be needing a transplant however there is currently not a match for her. Huge prayer that God has a donor for her and I would ask that everyone in our congregation register to see if you can save her life - it’s a simple cheek swab to see if you can be a match. If you’re not a match for my mom, you could still save someone else’s life. 

Please pray for our missionaries to Italy, Vincenzo & Antonella Cotroneo who sent the following updates and prayer requests:

• For Sergio, the chemo, his hardened heart, his difficult character… he is making it very hard for our sister Michaela.

• For my sister Sara, for guidance and protection, their need for a new house

• For Gianluca. He’s coming to church almost every Sunday. He is listening carefully to the teachings. We are having a good friendship. But there is still something holding him back.

• For my son Matteo. He will turn 18 in October and doesn’t want to come to church anymore. For the other kids also.

• For myself and my family, as we need a break. For a short vacation, maybe the last week of August.
