I started a new job few months ago. I’m 33, I haven’t been to church since I started this job. I’m feeling lost without and all of you. I lost my dad this time last year and I just feel so alone. Please pray for me, pray for strength and just the Lord fills me with love and comfort.

My Nephew who lives in Anthem AZ, is in ICU and is fighting for life due to West Nile Disease. Please pray for the health care providers that are tirelessly taking care of him 24/7. Our family who dearly loves him, and the hope of our Saviors healing restoration to his life. Thank you for your service to the Lord…in His name.

I recently got out of a long term relationship, and have felt somewhat distant from The Lord for the last year or so. I ask that you would pray for The Lord to draw me near to Himself, teach me to delight in Him, and light a fire under me to serve His kingdom in whatever way He wills.

Pray for me and the stress I am under. I feel a little overwhelmed by family, job, and outside influences.  I know that I am to focus on God first, but not everyone else in my life does so it makes it difficult to find time to give everyone.  I give it to Him first! 

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

• Please keep praying for Laura. She is a single mom in our church raising her boys and trying to help care for her elderly father. She is having horrible issues with her gums and teeth that are causing terrible pain and causing her to be unable to eat. Please pray for her to get relief from the pain. Pray for the Lord to direct us in how we can best help and serve her. Pray against the enemy as he is using her suffering to discourage her and keep her from coming to church and receiving encouragement from fellowship and the word. Pray that she would be open in communicating her needs, it is uncertain if her needs are financial or if there is something else that has happened.

• The new bible study that Brent is doing every other Thursday in a small town called Trevignano. Pray for those who attend will be touched by the Lord and that those who are not born again will see their need to accept the true gospel of Jesus.

• Please continue to pray for direction for Lidia as she searches out the right surgeon for her shoulder repair. Pray that the Lord would open the right doors to provide for all of the needs that she will have post operatively.

• Pray for Micky as he seeks to walk in obedience and serve the Lord. Pray for the Lord to refresh him and lead him and continue to pour out his grace upon him as he leads worship and the youth.

• Pray for Karolina's job situation. She lost her job and needs to find a new job and an apartment.

• Pray for our daughter Olivia who will be leaving for bible college next Tuesday with Brent who will accompany her there. Please pray for her health, safety, protection. Pray for traveling mercies for her and Brent as they have to change planes several times. Pray for the Lord's blessings to be upon her as she steps out in faith and obedience to go where she has felt the Lord has called her to do. Pray for grace, joy and peace for all of us as we send her off!

• Pray for the Thursday afternoon time that we have to meet with some of the children who live in the government housing apartments in our vicinity. They all come from extremely dysfunctional homes. Please pray that the Lord would bless our time with them through crafts and playing games. Pray that we can share the word with them in a way that the love of God would reach their hearts and that they would be saved.

• Pray against the attacks of the enemy. Pray for the gospel to be reaching the lost. Pray for divine appointments, boldness, and open doors of opportunity to share the gospel with those in our neighborhood. Pray for the Lord to reach the drug dealers-or other key influential people in our neighborhood, that there could be change and ground gained for Christ's kingdom.
