Prayer Requests Updated September 21st!

Please pray a TON for Ethan Powell this week. I am giving you the (very) brief synopsis but it does appear that his leukemia is back. They should know for sure sometime soon but the preliminary results were disappointing. It was hard to read through the tears so please check out Ethan's site. I do believe that God will heal Ethan and I am comforted by the words of Christ Jesus!

"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Mark 11:24

"If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." Matthew 21:22

Thank you for praying for the Steece quads... they are all home and doing well. Pray for Joe and Suz and they now take on all the load of caring for these precious babies!

Ben Lamb is back home and continuing to recover from gasteric bypass and the complications post surgery. He has (yay) lost 65 pounds so far and is feeling much better! Keep his journey to better health in your prayers.

Continue to remember our friends who are pregnant (all SIX of them). I am not listing their names for privacy reasons and will not do so unless they specifically give me permission.

Thank you for praying for Kristen. The growth/calus on her vocal cords responded to the vocal rest so she will not have to undergo surgery. She has been gradually getting her voice back and I am LOVING getting to talk with one of my best friends again!

Please continue to pray for Kristen's mom Carol as she continues to deal with Marvin's death. Pray that what ever decisions she comes to with regard to the home and business they shared will be finalized with as little stress as possible.

Please remember Stephanie as she continues to deal with loosing Keith and Stephanie’s friend Jordan as she continues to fight cancer.

Please continue to remember Emory.

Please remember Matthew and his family as he is fighting cancer.

Please pray for eight year old Bailey as they determine what to do about her brain tumor.

Remember our missionaries... The families mentioned below who have recently had some difficulties (the Smith, Roland and Westerholm teams) also Butch and Mary Lou Cope as they return to TX at the end of this month to work more with Gospel for Asia.

Thank you for praying for Grandma Terry in the past. She will be celebrating her 88th birthday next month. Please continue to keep her and her spiritual (and physical) health in your prayer.

There is a family here in Harrison who recently lost everything in a house fire so please keep them in your prayers as well. I know several churches and groups are trying to help them right now so pray that God will open hearts to give freely to these poor people and that in giving we may lead them closer to Him.

I just wanted to take a minute of time to thank all of you wonderful friends who have been praying for us! I am so blessed to have each and every one of you (and a few of you really gave me a lump in the throat with your quick jump to prayer and encouraging words). Keep them coming! ;) Please remember our Girl's Night coming up and pray that it will (again) be a source of encouragement, laughter and fun for all of those involved!
