Urgent - the man we were praying for in the hospital is still there, he had a heart attack on top of his cancer. 4 areas in his heart so they are thinking about open heart surgery. Please pray for the Lord's healing, wisdom for the family for making decisions. His name is Pete, he's an old dear family friend. Not sure where he stands with the Lord, please pray as God leads. Thanks.

They are motivating him to stay in the word AND they started a Sunday bible study, at University of Idaho. I'm so thankful (and a little shocked, ha ha).

Please pray for "Arwa" a little Iraqi girl that is sleeping under stairs in Iraq (neglected) and ignored by her father. He tried to give her up as an orphan but Iraqi govt apparently doesn’t allow if dad is still alive.

Prayer for Matthew, needs to get grades up, and finish strong and test well to stay focused (goes to Ambrose).

Please pray for our missionaries to Sierra Leon, Alpha and Doris Bangura who sent the following updates and prayer requests: 

• PRAISE REPORT!  To the glory of God the creator of the heavens and the earth, I want to express our hearts felt thanks and praises to the leaders of Calvary Chapel Boise for their expression and demonstration of agape love towards my family. We have been praying earnestly for God to favor us in such a way that we will have a private dwelling that we can call our home. I believe not to far from now we will surely transfer in that house. Thanks be to Calvary Chapel Boise whom God is using to fix us a dwelling place.

• I want to also express another thanks and praises to the authority of Calvary Chapel Boise! . What seems to be difficult and very challenging you have done. Many thanks and praises to Calvary Chapel leadership for the yearly payment of the three girls’ college fees, modules and extra charges for the 2022/2023 academic year. On behalf of the college girls, I would like to express their thanks in appreciation for your good will gesture.  All of them are doing well in college. 

• Another praise to the authority of Calvary Chapel Boise is the tireless efforts of continually providing the welfare needs of both the children and staff in Mercy Home Sierra Leone. There is every reason to celebrate you.  If you were not there for us at this terrible time, I don't know how we would have been able to tender God's love and care to the children. Truly, we are very grateful.
