Praise the Lord for hearing our prayers, petitions and for answering us by divine intervention, divine appointments.

Pray for Rescue Mission Ministries.

Pray for broken relationships, dysfunctional families, and hostile work environments.

Please pray for Jordan who has Stage 4 pancreatic cancer and is going through chemo.

Pray for my best friend’s mother in law. She had cardiac arrest earlier this week and have had her under sedation because they didn’t know what kind of oxygen loss she suffered to her brain.  The neurologist said she is not fully brain dead, but the damage to her brain from lack of oxygen while her heart was stopped is too severe for her to fully recover.  They took her off sedation early this morning and will see how she does in the next 24 hours and then decide if they will take her off everything.  Please pray for God to heal her and allow her to wake up on her own.  Or if He wills that it is her time to go Home, she would go Home in peace.

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

• Our retreat for all of the Calvary Chapels in Italy begins next Wednesday, so please be lifting that time up in prayer. Pray for the Lord to go before and prepare the way, prepare the hearts of the people, prepare those who are teaching, provide for all of those participating.

• Pray for healing for Bruno and the problems he is having with his heart.

• Pray for Martin as he has to take exams to enter high school after being homeschooled. Pray for grace for Amy and Stefano as they continue to faithfully homeschool their boys in a culture that strongly looks down upon it.

• Pray for our Ukranian sister Carolina who has received her refugee status here in Italy. Pray for the Lord to continue to pour out His grace and peace upon her as she integrates into this new culture.

• Pray for Miky as he and Brent help with an afterschool program on Thursdays with some kids who live in the high-rise apartments of Tor Bella Monica. Pray for a situation with a family of a mom with 4 kids. She will most likely be arrested for drug charges. The kids came to our Easter outreach. It is heartbreaking to wonder what they have gone through and what they may go through. Please pray that we can love them well and bring a message of hope to them. Pray that the little things such as making Mother's Day cards for the kids to give their moms would be a way to touch them in Jesus’ name.

• Pray for Fabio and Romina to be renewed in their passion for Christ and for their daughter Marta to turn back to the Lord. Pray for their other daughter Diana to be growing closer to the Lord and for her protection from the snares of the world and the enemy.

• Please be praying for pastor Craig. He is back in the hospital. The Dr.s have expressed that the treatments are no longer working and they do not have another option for treating his cancer. Please pray that he would not be in pain and should the Lord will, that He would heal our brother and give him more years to live.

• Pray for a spiritual awakening in all of our hearts-our church-our neighborhood! Pray for unity among our church body and for grace and passion for loving, serving and reaching the lost.
