Below you will find many prayer requests and a couple of informational items for you to read and pray for.  They are listed as follows:

Gina Williams would like us to continue to pray for her sister Rose, who as you will recall, was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and has really not been feeling well and has experienced some complications from her treatment.  Pray that she will feel well enough again so that her body will allow her to tolerate the necessary treatments.  Pray also for her family during this difficult time.

Please pray for healing and God's Grace in all areas of Lisa's life.  Lisa's family has had a trying couple of years with an accident that her parents were involved in which resulted in her mom's illness and then death.  Her dad is doing better but things are still difficult.  Please pray for Lisa and her family during this difficult time.  Pray that they will continue to hold on to God for the comfort that they need right now.

Cheri Monk requests prayers for her mom (Dottie Daniels) who has been experiencing significant numbness on the back left side of her head.  After much testing, it is found that she has many serious problems with her neck.  Please pray that God will surround Dottie with His healing and peace physical/mental comfort and confidence.  That He will give the doctors wisdom and patience to make the best decisions and the ability and skills to execute those decisions with minimal negative impact, and that He will give her family strength to help Dottie get through this one step at a time.

Cheri would also like us to pray for her husband Dave.  He has severe back pain that is currently interfering with his daily life.  Pray that God will surround Dave with His healing from the top of his head to the tips of his toes and set him free from his pain so that he can have that peace that passes all understanding that God promises in His Word.

Prayers of praise are requested by Cheri for her daughter Sydney who has gone 19 months without any kind of severe asthma attack.   This is a huge praise report as in the past it was not uncommon for Sydney to be in the hospital multiple times over a short period of times due to her asthma.

Prayers are requested for P.S. that his kidneys would begin to function.  On Friday he will have his neck tumor biopsied to see if his many chemo treatments have caused yet another form of cancer.  Also, tomorrow he will have dialysis, which he doesn't normally tolerate well - his spirits are low currently.  Please join us in asking God for a miracle and that the doctors will find a way to effectively treat him!

Prayers are requested for Irene who has cancer and will be receiving chemo and radiation.

Prayers are requested for friends who do not recognize Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.

Linda Hirshman requests prayers for her sister-in-law who had knee replacement surgery this past Monday and is in severe pain.  Pray that her pain will subside and she will have a good recovery from this surgery.

Please pray for Mata who has terminal cancer and has only a matter of time to live. 

Prayers are needed for Rosa who is in her final year at the University of Fiji.  May God of wisdom instruct and teach Rosa so she will pass with top grades this year.  May He will her with His peace, destroy the spirit of confusion and mental blockages.

Please pray for Siniva who is 85 years old and is usually very fit and strong but has come down with something and has been in and out of the hospital this past month.
