I am grateful for He truly is my rock and my help! Praise the Lord, Mike will have his pace maker changed out next week on Tues. the 29th. Oh, how we are blessed!

Jenny - Please continue to lift up Bob's parents, Bill and Barbara. That God would have His hand on them to strengthen and protect them and bless them in their old age.
Scott- My sleep problems have returned, at least for the past four nights. Unlike last time, which lasted nearly three months till the last of the symptoms was history, I can't identify the cause, unless it was the overindulging in food over the weekend which I don’t' normally eat. Anyhow, Saturday nite my sleep wasn't as good as it normally is, but I didn't give it a thought till Sunday night. Last night was better and I feel the symptoms easing, and I hope they really are and it's not just wishful thinking on my part, but I'm not looking forward to putting up with poor sleep again. Please pray that I can tough this out and not give into the temptation to do something desperate. My doc won't be able to do anything for me except give me pills which I don’t' want. GOD bless you all!

Colossians 1:28 " Him we preach, warning evey man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus."
"If you have any encouragement from being united with Chirst, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: who being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness, and being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death - even death on a cross! Therefore, God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. " Philippians 2: 9-11

He has been traveling mostly in the U.S., living in a camper the last 40 years. He had returned recently very sick from Guatemala to Phoenix area to live with his daughter Ann who has hospice care for him. She is married to a Brethren minister and all of us have shared Christ with him over the years. A few may remember Dick's son R.J., who attended Christian Mission around 1984. Ann thinks he has not received Christ. Please pray for his salvation, that we will get a chance to speak to him again and that he will be alert and receptive. Don & I are getting ready to leave.

Leilani - Praise! My dad has significantly improved. He is on the road to recovery and I see now the possibility of him resuming the life he had. He is still unable to stand long or walk well-still in need of prayer to guard his health. But Wow! we have come so far. What a blessing my father is to me. What a blessing is my FATHER.
Scott -First of all, thank all of you for your prayers for my insomnia! I'm happy to say that it's gone now, but for my sleep not quite being totally restored yet, but that'll come very soon I"m sure. However, I do need prayer for the after affects of insomnia, the symptoms that normally go along with stress, which are really just annoying at worst, that they dont' get me all discouraged and that I don't do anything rash. For the most part, my body functions are back to normal now, but it's one of those "two steps forward, one step back" things. Thank you all again, and GOD bless!

decisions. I know this thing will pass, but I just wonder what's

From Scott - Everyone, seemingly since New Year's Day, I"ve had trouble sleeping. I sleep the first half of the night or less, and then wake up till it's time to rise. This didn't bother me till two days ago, when the coffee I drank gave me some anxiety symptoms. I see my doctor next week, so please pray the LORD works thru him. I can't imagine what's causing this. There's been no traumatic event in my life or in any family member's life, and I dont have a very stressful life. In the past, Ive had this maybe twice, and it's lasted about six weeks, so I'm almost halfway there now, so that's something to praise HIM for, not to mention my symptoms now are quite a bit milder than in the past. Thank you all and GOD bless!
Gloria: Pray for Don's throat. For months he has had trouble swallowing because of pflem. A couple times it was critical.

"
I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing
Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider
them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a

faith in Christ - the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith."

Hi
Jenny,
It
has been a difficult season for us and I would once again like to request
prayer. On Sunday, we were involved in a serious car accident. If
it wasn't for my husband's maneuvering it would've been a head on collision
with both cars traveling at about 50 mph. Jim managed to swerve some so
we took the impact more on the side of the car. Jim broke his left index
finger. Nick and Hannah seem to be doing okay although Nick is
complaining of some back pain. The side airbags saved Nick and Jim.
I sustained the most injuries. I have seat belt burn marks from the top of
my right shoulder down to my sternum, about three to four inches wide. I
am visibly bruised everywhere the seat belt was. I couldn't breathe and had one
of those moments where you think you just might not survive. I was taken
out on a back board to Mission Hospital where I spent the night for "pain
management." Thankfully I have no broken bones just bruising and
contusions. I will see my doctor tomorrow. I am still dealing with
the nerve pain from the shingles down my left leg and now have a bruised
tailbone and lower back pain. The worst pain though is surrounding my
sternum. I have four different drugs to take; one for pain, one for nerve
pain, one for muscle spasms, one for swelling. Please pray for all of us
as it is hard for everyone when I can not do my part and I won't be able to do
that for a while. Please pray for me for relief from pain and fast
healing. I am tired and frustrated and emotionally and physically
drained. I praise God that the four of us survived an accident that
could've killed us all. We will heal. I am so thankful for
that. Our car was mangled. It's gone. The man that hit us ran
a red light and there were three witnesses who came forward to support
us. I praise God for them. Financially this will be a strain for us
until the insurance begins to pay. Please pray for wisdom as we work
through this and the legal aspects of this incident as well. Thank you
for your prayers. Leilani

Christiane - I am due to be induced on Jan. 2. Please pray that God will bring our baby naturally before (amen to avoid induction). Also, please pray for the baby's health and safe delivery. Pray also for Seth's back injury for full recovery. Thank you!
Matt & Casey - Please pray for wisdom for us. It looks like we possibly could leave in February for Cambodia! Praise Him. We need to sell our cars, rent out our house, and get rid of all our stuff by then. Or it could be May or July? Pray that the Lord would speak to us and what is best for our kids. And for peace! Thanks prayer warriors.
Linda - Pray for my husband (Ron) to see God's goodness and mercy in his life. For words and wisdom to speak to him and my son in God's grace and love. Ron & Burt to see the need for the Lord in their lives. Bless you praying Saints.

Pray for Debra R. as she had her surgery today, a quick recovery and healing.
Pray for Leilani as she still is suffering from shingles which could last up to 30 days and even have long term problems. The doctor has doubled her meds. for the pain (pain in her nerve endings). She needs our prayers.

The prayers of the saints are heard by our Father and He does marvelous things!
Psalms 34:10 "...they
that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing."
I am in need of prayer. I am having a very difficult time with the shingles. The nerve pain associated with this is off the charts and I am having great difficulty walking. The rash is continuing to spread and is now up and down my left leg. I am contagious at this point (chicken pox virus) and shouldn't be out in public which is very challenging. Am calling people to help with errands and my children. I don't know how long this is going to continue and I am so frustrated. Please ask our prayer warriors to pray for an end to pain, for the rash to stop spreading and for complete healing. Can I add for this to occur as swiftly as possible? Thank you to everyone. Leilani

Can you please issue a prayer request for Mary. For the last few weeks she has been experiencing diverticulitis symptoms similar to when she was in the hospital last time with a large abcess. We are going to the doctor tomorrow morning to see what is going on as she had a very stressful night and got little sleep. Please pray for God's healing Hand to be on her and for supernatural wisdom for the doctor(s) in examining her.
Trusting in the Healing Hand of God;
Rich
