Lord Jesus good morning. Thank you for the life of my mother in law. You granted her the peace she needed and is now at home with you and Toto. Lord as we grieve this loss here on earth may we live our lives to honor her memorie with our faith in you. Lord in a word this sucks. However we also know that you had a plan for this to happen all along. Be with us all worldwide as we mourn her and carry on her legacy.  Lord I ask for one thing this morning that you would help my wife and I get her green card settled. In your name Jesus I pray. Amen!!

Julie - Son's Health Update and Family

Christmas Eve (for the rest of the world but for me it’s maybe the 23rd as Christmas is postponed for our family) - it has been a hard day for Duncan and Andrew. 

Drew has had a scope and a few CT scans. He currently has a tube through his nose to his stomach to empty the contents of his stomach. 

Katie, David, Margaret and I went to church  tonight (trying to keep some normalcy). After church we took Chinese food and ate dinner in the waiting room with Duncan while Drew had some x-rays done.

Julie S. - Andrew's Health

3am - praying friends who are up- Duncan took Drew back to the ER around 1am. We were concerned as he threw up, said his pain had increased and his heart rate had gone up. They have just done another CT scan. Drew seems better so we are praying that he won’t be admitted.

*3:30 - Just talked to Duncan. He’s being admitted.  The CT scan found a blockage in his intestine. I guess we’ll know more in the morning what this all means.

 Prayer Request List-December 5, 2024

Colonel Genevera Vincent- Please pray for my sister-in-law, Donna Frampton. She was diagnosed with stomach cancer this past week with spots on her liver as well. She is just 48 years old. As she undergoes further tests to rule out cancer elsewhere in her body, please pray that no more cancer will be found and that her cancer will be treatable. They are still waiting for an appointment with the oncologist to talk about next steps. Please pray for my brother Jason as well as this is devasting news.

Capt. Caroline Rowe-Please pray for our Marketing Manager. She was hit by a drunk driver heading home for the holiday weekend. She has been in a coma, and they had to amputate her arm and hand. She is 22/23 years old, and this was her first professional job. This has hit our team hard – we are praying for recovery of her kidneys and liver. Also, no brain damage and we pray she is able to walk (Her knees were broken and other bones in her legs).

Capt. Tim Brown- I would ask that you pray for all our activities at Christmas time. In particular there are very few people willing to stand at a kettle these days and as a result meeting our goals and expectations for kettle income is becoming nearly impossible.

Personally, I would ask for prayer for strength and energy as we are going above and beyond the normal level of working hours each week. Pray for our children who sometimes must sacrifice for the ministry.

Jeffery C. Hesseltine-Please pray for a coworker who is out sick and has no voice.

11/22 Update 

----------------‐------------‐-----------------------------------

11/20 update

Thank you to all my FB family and friends for your prayers and support this past week. I was released to come home this evening but the road to recovery has only just begun. The cardiologists and electrophysiologists are baffled by some of what they’ve discovered but together they are putting together a plan for moving forward. Stints and bypass surgery are 

not an option due to the condition and placement of my arteries which are all blocked at between 70-100% and yet the damage to the heart could have, and should have, been much worse according to all the doctors. The Great Physician knows the way forward and we will rely on His guidance and direction for the medical team as we begin this journey together. Continued prayers are appreciated. Again, I’m in His hands. Blessings!

‐---------------‐-----------------------------------------------

“Your arteries are obliterated” isn’t quite what you want to hear from the Cardiologist following four days of tests, numerous blood withdrawals, 24/7 heart monitoring, and an array of meds that would put skittles to shame in terms of colors. But at least I got to hear him make that comment!

For those that haven’t heard, my heart decided to take a break last Thursday night causing me to have a heart attack. Apparently it has been building up for many, many years according to all of the cardiologists. 

Waiting to hear what the next steps will be but guessing that running a marathon is out for now. Thankful for a great team in the Inova Alexandria Hospital and for the outpouring of love and prayers from my family and friends.

When all is said and done, “I’m in His hands, I’m in His hands, whatever the future holds, I’m in His hands”.

Darren N. - Roger's Father PTG

Good morning, friends,

There's nothing like receiving a call from your child's school at 7:30am telling you they received a threat of a possible shooting planned for today.

Julie S. - Son's Health and Family

Duncan and Andrew are having an unexpected stay in Downey at Kaiser hospital tonight.

Drew developed a fever of 103.8 yesterday. We got his temp down with meds and a cold shower. Called the Dr this morning who said that because of his history of sepsis we needed to take him in if his temp went up again. Tonight his temp went over 103, so Duncan took him in. They are waiting for a room in the ER, but he will be admitted.

Please pray that this is a short hospital stay. We are concerned for Drew, but we also have A LOT going on this week with our full move next weekend. We know that God has a plan for all of this and He is not worried so we are trusting Him…but both Duncan and I are juggling a lot.

Thanks for praying friends. We appreciate it.

Flo - Health/Procedures/Healing

"Hi friends, 

Yesterday's appointment went good. My knee is wrapped with an ace bandage so I can walk and put pressure weight on the leg (still need to use the cane) but healing. I will have PT starting in a few weeks for knee and shoulder. 

Today's eye appointment wasn't as nice. I have a tear behind the lens in my right eye. I'm having  laser surgery on the 11th. 

I would really appreciate your prayers, I'm a bit nervous."

Hello church family! Keep me in prayer as I travel real quick to El Salvador to pick up my mom and bring her back home ( finally)

David Y. - Health/Upcoming Surgery

Today had many ups and downs.

However, this afternoon, i had to cancel my back surgery that was scheduled for tomorrow morning but we did not receive preauthorization from the insurance company to keep this surgery date.  

So we will continue to wait for that approval before we can reschedule the surgery.  In speaking to the dr. This delay could take up to a month to get a new date.

I have come to believe in my life, there is a reason I cannot see for the delay but God has always had my back.  So, I will trust him with this delay.

For those who have already been praying for this surgery thank you.

We are delighted to share that our division sent three Cadets to CFOT at the beginning of this month: Cadets Breden and Kiara Armendariz from the Modesto Corps, with their three-year-old daughter, Irene, and Cadet Robert Galbreath from the Hanford Corps. These Cadets are the fruits of our division’s ministry and will represent God’s kingdom in powerful ways. We sincerely appreciate your prayers and care for the FOF group in your corps.

We kindly ask for your continued prayers and support as these Cadets embark on their first year of training at CFOT.

Please consider adding them to both your personal prayer list and your Corps’ prayer list.

If you don’t already know, I’ll be heading off to Seoul in a couple of weeks to teach!

Angel M. - Headaches

I am super prone to headaches. I have been all my life, even in childhood. I used to get severe migraines as a young adult, and still get them occasionally, though not often anymore. But since moving to the Valley, I feel like I have a headache all the time! I am an avid water drinker, though I’m sure I could drink more. But I WAKE UP in the morning with a headache. Is this just the heat and dehydration? Will it get better when the temperature is not so crazy hot? Just trying to figure out what I can do besides medicate. 🤯

George B. - Wifes Family

Dear FB friends and family…Jeanne’s sister Julie reached out to me on FB just a little while ago and asked that I seek prayers on behalf of her husband Dave who has cancer and is going through some very difficult times right now. Jeanne is in route home from Sri Lanka so Julie asked me to reach out on her behalf for your prayers for Dave (and for Julie). Thank you.

Wayne M. - Health/Cancer/Recovery

25 days of radiation are completed! No more radiation mask, though it kind of became soothing. It also makes me look like I’m wearing a toupee. I got to ring the bell, which I have been anticipating since I started. I’m a simple man. Thank you for the prayers! I humbly and graciously ask that you keep me in your prayers. The next test is going back to school in a few weeks. Thank you! 💪🏼❤️

Dave H. - Friend Gil's Health

Today I committed to pray for my friend, Gil. He was diagnosed with ALS this past week. Gil is a great guy, a good friend, a loving husband, and an incredible father and grandfather.

To all my friends who have followed me this past weeks and been so encouraging, I’m asking you turn your attention to Gil and his family. If you believe in prayer, please pray for them. If not, I know he would appreciate you thinking about him. Gil always thinks about others, and finding ways to make their lives better. So perhaps, you and use this opportunity to acknowledge those you love and find ways to “make their day.”

Regardless what you do. I’m asking you let Gil know you either prayed or thought about him. The simplest way is to make a comment below and he will see it. I believe you can also click on this name above and message him directly.

To my Camino friends, please consider taking time tomorrow on The Way, and either think or pray for Gil. I’d really appreciate it.

Lastly, would you consider sharing this post with your friends and family? I would like my friend Gil to know people around the world are thinking and praying for him.

Gil, I love you, brother, and will keep in touch.

Buen Camino. 

Dave

Raymond - EK. - Procedure/Recovery/ Healing

Prayer Request

I’m having a left arm procedure,  manipulation under anesthesia (MUA), on my left shoulder this morning at 8:30 am. It will require me to miss some work so I can heal completely. Luckily, I have a great wife who will take great care of me. 

You might be wondering… What is “manipulation under anesthesia (MUA)”? It is a noninvasive procedure that uses stretching and manipulation techniques to treat chronic pain while a patient is sedated. Ice will be my best friend. 😇

Thank you for your prayers.

Turnie W. - On the Move

Morning Lord thank you for our time here in Merced. Lord you are calling us to Casper Wyoming. Not sure as to why at the moment. But I’m sure you have got this all under control. Lord as we prepare ourselves over the next few weeks with packing, cleaning, packing, and more cleaning. Keep us focused on you. You are what matters most to us. Lord I left up my adult children to you and ask that you be with them as well. It’s a new chapter for them. Guide them as to what they need to do. Prepare the hearts and minds of our congregations both old and new. May they understand that you are in control and they need to step up to continue the work until the new offers arrive in Merced and we arrive in Casper. Guide us Lord as we look for the best moving company and rental car. As we carry on in your will. Amen!!

Message from Judy for posting:

 

It is with a grateful heart that I thank you for all of the get-well cards, text messages, voicemail & flowers that I received since my falling accident. Without a doubt I know that my surgery success and recovery progress is due to the prayers that were included in those messages and those that were said on my behalf - God is so good and He has proven His gift of healing to me every day, since I broke my femur on May 19th!

Currently I am at home, doing my physical therapy, walking carefully & slowly with my walker and trying to stay active around my home as I continue to improve my walking! I thank the Lord for my friends and family that have fully supported me over this past month of health crisis!

Your continued prayers would also be appreciated as I continue on my road to full recovery!

Vickie S. - Healing / Health / Recover

Major Vickie writes, “I fell yesterday, Tuesday, while walking on a slope.  It resulted in a crushed hip socket bone, and I will be having surgery tomorrow, Thursday, to replace it. Prognosis is good. Recovery is likely to be speedy and full according to the medical staff after some PT. Prayers are appreciated during this unexpected turn of events. Thank you!”

“I just want to let you know that Harry had a heart attack four days ago. We arrived in Canada on the Friday and he and our daughter were out for their walk when it happened. He had 90% blockage in one artery and 50% in three others. They did angiogram to put in stint and clear out the other arteries as much as possible. He is out of hospital now and recuperating at home here in Canada with our daughter and family. We appreciate the love and prayers of our Western Territory Army Family. We love them all very much.”

So much on my mind, it looks like there will be no sleep for me tonight. 

Your prayers would be appreciated.

I have these words running through my mind. See the song below. For me  right now it’s more than ever. 

1.

I NEED Thee every hour,

Most gracious Lord,

No tender voice like Thine

Can peace afford.

I need Thee, O I need Thee,

Every hour I need Thee;

O bless me now, my Savior,

I come to Thee.

2.

I need Thee every hour,

Stay Thou near by;

Temptations lose their power

When Thou art nigh.

3.

I need Thee every hour,

In joy or pain;

Come quickly and abide,

Or life is vain.

4.

I need Thee every hour,

Teach me Thy will,

And Thy rich promises

In me fulfill.

(Hawks, Annie Sherwood/ Lowry, Robert)

Sarah W. - Sons Health

UPDATE: We’re bustin outta here and on our way home. They believe today was an episode of Vasovagal Syncope; a sort of benign response from one’s brain to a myriad of possible factors that causes loss of consciousness, tingling extremities, seeing spots, vomiting, shallow breathing, clamminess, etc. 

The doctor said to us, “essentially, this is a TERRIFYING thing to witness, especially in your child. I don’t wish it on anyone. BUT, 99.9% of the time, there are zero lasting effects to him.” 

They did refer us to a cardiologist and neurologist to ultimately rule out anything else, but that’ll come a few months down the line when they can get us in. 

Thanking God for His hand on our boy💙

Friends, please pray for Pearse. 

Today in the middle of worship, he lost control of his body and began to collapse before I ran from the stage to grab him; Ronán tried his best to help him stand. His color left him, lips blue, eyes rolling back. Dearest Wendy ran out with me to the lobby and called 911. I tried to get him to look at me and speak; he mumbled about scratching a bug bite too much, and then he threw up. 

The ambulance arrived and hooked him up to all the heart/blood pressure/oxygen monitors. His blood pressure was very low. They gave him IV fluids and his lips turned pink again. Ruairi and I are now at the hospital with Pearse, awaiting panels for cardiology, neurology, and bloodwork; he’s stable watching Tom and Jerry while we wait. 

Thank you THANK YOU, beloved Annapolis Corps family, for supporting us in those scary moments, and for keeping Pearse’s three brothers fed and content while we’re here with him💙💙💙

We will update after tests are done.

Turnie W. - Today

Father God Lord Jesus good morning. Thank you for the nights rest. As we go to your house of worship this morning be with us. May the words of my mouth be directly from you today.

We lay them at your altar asking you to take care of them and answer those you can. In your mighty name. Amen!!
