Rochelle N. - Home, Work and Family

Some days are hard, today I am feeling discouraged-discouraged by the messy house, discouraged by the amount of stuff I have on my shoulders, discouraged by people I cannot control, discouraged by the lack of support I feel like I have, I really need to figure out childcare for summer and I really would prefer someone to come to my home! I am excited for my job interview today but scared of what that looks like for my kids. It will mean I will not overall have to work so much as I do now possibly, but could possibly mean I am not as flexible. All the prayers could be appreciated!

Larry J. - Hearing / Healing

-January 2024- I was ringing in the new ears.

I had only had my hearing aids a couple of month before I began to find liquid draining from my right ear. I had an ear infection.

I texted my doctor who prescribed some ear drops. The insurance would not cover it. After about a week of back and forth between myself, the doctor and the insurance co, I had a prescription the Ins co approved.

So after a week and half treatment had been completed the drainage was gone; a week or two later it was back. Before I could get into dr. I had lost the hearing in my right ear. My ear drum had ruptured. The approved treatment plan had failed.

It is now the beginning of a new year. The dr. said I would need surgery to repair the damage. Well tomorrow is the big day.

Please pray for the medical staff to be well guided.

Just my luck, I finally get my hearing aids just to lose an ear drum.

World Central Kitchen Team - Killed in Israel

World Central Kitchen is devastated to confirm seven members of our team have been killed in an IDF strike in Gaza.

The WCK team was traveling in a deconflicted zone in two armored cars branded with the WCK logo and a soft skin vehicle.

Despite coordinating movements with the IDF, the convoy was hit as it was leaving the Deir al-Balah warehouse, where the team had unloaded more than 100 tons of humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza on the maritime route.

“This is not only an attack against WCK, this is an attack on humanitarian organizations showing up in the most dire of situations where food is being used as a weapon of war. This is unforgivable,” said World Central Kitchen CEO Erin Gore.

The seven killed are from Australia, Poland, United Kingdom, a dual citizen of the U.S. and Canada, and Palestine.

“I am heartbroken and appalled that we—World Central Kitchen and the world—lost beautiful lives today because of a targeted attack by the IDF. The love they had for feeding people, the determination they embodied to show that humanity rises above all, and the impact they made in countless lives will forever be remembered and cherished,” said Erin.

The IDF says it is “carrying out an in-depth examination at the highest levels to understand the circumstances of this tragic incident.”

World Central Kitchen is pausing our operations immediately in the region. We will be making decisions about the future of our work soon.

Chris G. - Health/Recovery

"Thank you all for sending prayers on my behalf. Earlier this week, I spent a few days in the hospital due to some abnormal blood readings. After some test and procedures, it appears that I am OK. However, following my discharge, I was experiencing some issues with my heart. After taking my required medication, it didn’t appear at first to settle down, but in the end, everything was put back in place. I am very frustrated with my health and recovery and feel that I will never fully be healed. There are times that I feel that while people hear what I’m saying, they will never understand what I am going through and that’s OK. I am now just seeking strength in my everyday life to do simple task like preparing meals for my family or walking up the stairs without getting winded. Facing full on disability, it’s tough for me, yeah, I have good friends who have experience whatever challenges in their lives. Every day I use them as an example of courage in the face of uncertainty. I would ask that you continue to pray and send positive thoughts might behalf. Thank you."

Chris G. - Health

Prayers of healing needed please! Urgent!

Ronnie D. - Health/Possible surgery

Update: 3/25

Time for a qyick update. Had the surgery around 3 this morning. I have very inflamed large and small bowels. The appendix was gangrenous so the doctor was afraid to remove it. He didnt want to cause further issues. In the meantime it was cleaned out and i will be in the hospital for a few days until my white blood cell goes down. As always prayers are appreciated

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

"So i have been in the emergency room since 7 this evening. Looks like I have appendicitis. Doctors are deciding whether or not surgery is needed. I could definitely use all the prayers i can get"

"Requesting prayers again...back in the hospital this morning. I think im passing the stone. Was supposed to have surgery to remove it next week, but apparently it couldn't wait. 

The Good news about all this is...hopefully that will solve all my urinary issues and I can get back to my life and feeling good again."

Steve S. - Health/Cancer Treatment/Travels

Steve shared that his prostate cancer is back and will going through radiation treatment on March 25th (43 days treatment). Pray for healing! 

The following is from his email: 

Please pray that “very treatable” and “great probability of success” becomes “100% curable.” Pray that I’d be able to bear up under whatever impact the treatments have in my daily life.
 
The treatments will take me all the way to the very end of May. In addition to this, I have an appointment with an osteoporosis doctor at Vanderbilt on June 7 to treat what has been called “very severe osteoporosis,” with a follow up a few days afterwards. I am also trying to schedule flights for Anne and me to travel to Guam, Yap, Palau, and Chuuk this summer. We would hate to miss all that. Our great desire is to go. But I don’t know if all these medical issues will cancel those plans or not. 
 
I do desire, however, and this is a prayer request, that God would gain the greatest glory through all this. Therefore, please pray that He would make it very clear whether we should make those reservations by faith, or by faith stay home in Tennessee. 
 
Thank you for standing behind us and with us in prayer all these years. I can honestly say that’s what keeps us going.
 
Pressing On,

Steve

This prayer request was shared by my sister Rebecca this morning. Thank you for your continued prayers for my parents:

Prayer partners, please keep Mom and Dad, Larry and Carroll Vaughan, in your prayers. Dad's colon is still asleep. He hasn't had anything to drink since midnight before the surgery on Tuesday. He is very uncomfortable and in pain. And thirsty! Please pray for Mom too as she has pneumonia. They've been trying different meds but nothing is working so far. Cannot thank you enough for your prayers for them! They are leaning on Jesus and have amazing testimonies.

Will S. - Health/Recovery

Jus wanted to keep family updatedddd

This past week I had felt a sudden sharp, squeezing pain in my lower left abdomen after eating and while watching TV. 

I had tried to just sleep it off and let it figure itself out. Was awoken next morning with the same sharp pain only stronger, again just trying to brush it off. 

Eventually I had to go downstairs and start my day, finally thought it had passed and was doing okay and right when I truly thought it was over, there it went again at its strongest and had felt as if I had just gotten stabbed by a knife from my stomach through my back. 

I felt nauseous, weak, I started sweating profusely, skin was cold clammy. Couldn’t support my weight, was crouching in the toilet. 

Finally decided that this wasn’t something I wasn’t going to be able to fix on my own. 

Went to the ER

Waited 7 hours, had to do an abdominal CT with contrast along with an abdominal and vaginal ultrasound

Couldn’t find my ovaries, but saw dilated arteries in my CT

I had really thought they were going to turn me away and tell me nothings wrong (that’s what I’m usually told for every other issue I’ve needed to go to the ER for)

Had to redo all the ultrasound exams yet again

Still couldn’t find my ovaries 🙃

OBGYN decided we needed to go in to really see what’s going on 

To my luck..

They had found a cyst hidden behind my ovary that had ruptured, bleeding out into what was still my reproductive organs where blood shouldn’t be

along with extra tissue growth, lesions, and what the doctor called gunpowder splotches that confirmed that I live with endometriosis. 

The doctor thankfully confirmed to me that this is nothing I could’ve caused but that they were able to remove the leftover cyst and blood with harming my organs whatsoever. 

In regards to my fertility, the physicalities of everything according to the surgeon looks well but won’t know more until I’m actually working on trying to have a baby.

Unfortunately upon doing research on endometriosis when coming home, I now have one of the top 10 most painful diseases in the world.. but for some reason isn’t seen as a disability 

pain and growth varies depending on person, symptoms can include more than average menstruation pain to bodily issues like sciatica and learned that Endo doesn’t just subject itself to the uterus but throughout all organs in the body. 

It’s endometriosis awareness month and now personally having this condition, it’s part of my duty to help spread awareness. Endos not as small as I had even originally thought when I had come home from the hospital. I was always frequently testing my health every year and had never had issues of finding anything and even got called by my doctors office about how healthy my blood results were while I was waiting in the ER. Endometriosis can unfortunately only be fully confirmed by surgery and physically looking inside as it does not show up on any scans and takes an average of 7-10 years to be diagnosed with. 

I’m just grateful to know that all my times constantly in the hospital growing up wasn’t just in my head and all the overly painful periods of not being able to get out of bed wasn’t just me being weak or lazy. I had wondered why I was always feeling random sharp pains everywhere and then would go away and wasn’t consistent enough to prove itself a problem or my recent issue of my back and hip pain that felt like I had gotten stabbed and felt like my legs were being cut off. 

I encourage everyone to educate themselves on endometriosis and watch your body closely.

Your prayers are working miracles! 

Tonight, one of our sons and our daughter visited Jonathan, and he is fully alert, smiling, laughing, mouthing words (he can’t speak out loud because of the trach), asking questions, and he even asked his brother to pray over him! 🥹🙏

We are astounded at the difference from Tuesday to today! 

Thank you for your faithfulness in praying for our son. 🙏❤️🙏

Keep praying and let’s give all the glory to Christ.

Kari Su - Husband's Health

Eric has taken a different perspective on his chronic pain. The surgeons call it referred pain. Basically, after each surgery, the pain changes. 

Anyhow, Eric M Rudd feels hopeful. Resolute. Joyful in the anticipation that someday, he will be pain free in eternity. And that is something he looks forward to. 

I share this for those of us that are living with pain every day. Idk what that is like personally. I had knee pain for a year, but Eric has lived with pain his entire life. 

After one surgery, the dr came out and asked if he was in pain as a child. His internal organs were backwards inside of his body. The surgeon had never seen anything like it before. 

He is fearfully and wonderfully made.

Romans 8:18

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

Jenn S. - Health

I didn't have time to post before going back to work....I had my follow up with the doctor today regarding my bladder....No cancer!!! Bladder has been cleared as the issue with the bleeding. Apparently I have a rather large kidney stone that he didnt think was the cause of the bleeding but is rethinking.  I have to go in for an x-ray to see if they can see the stone. If they can, they will dissolve it with some sort of waves. If they can't see it, I will have to have it removed because it is too large to pass on it's own! Overall...great news!  I'll take a kidney stone over cancer any day! 

THANK YOU EVERYONE for the outpouring of prayers and concern! This is proof that we have a God who hears and answers prayer!

March Prayers for TSA World

 Greetings Friends,

I am pleased to send you requests from our Prayer Focus territories and regions for March 2024.

This initiative of turning our thoughts and prayers towards the same part of the world in the same week is a beautiful way to unite us as a global Army family and I thank you for the commitment you each give to this.

In March, we will be praying for the following territories and regions:

26 – 03 March 2024 Sri Lanka Territory

04 - 10 March 2024 Taiwan Region

1 – 17 March 2024 Mozambique Territory

18 – 24 March 2024 USA Western Territory*

25 – 31 March 2024 Sweden and Latvia Territory

Each of these territories and regions has shared with us subjects to include in our prayers.  Please find these requests attached. *The prayer requests from USA Western Territory will follow soon.

If you don't already do so, I encourage you to forward these requests so that salvationists are aware of the specific requests for prayer in parts of the world other than their own.

Thank you for your continued prayerful support for our international Salvation Army and for sharing these prayer requests with others.

May the Lord bless you as you bless others through your intercessions on their behalf.

On behalf of the Territorial Secretary for Spiritual Life Development, Commissioner Colleen Riley,

 

Johnny G. - Jonathan's Recovery/Health

I have already sent this message in a text to many, and I want to get it to as many as possible as quickly as possible:

We visited Jonathan last night at the hospital. He has awakened from the coma!

There is still a long way to go, but he was able to follow simple commands to make tiny movements, such as blinking his eyes very slowly. He recognized our voices and he cried when we held his hands and spoke to him. He still can’t see us, but he can hear us. 

Again, he still has a long way to recovery, and we assured him that people are praying for him all over the country.

We rejoice and give thanks for everyone's prayers. 🙏❤️🙏

Please pray for Turnie and his family during this difficult time as they grieve for his mom who was promoted to Glory. May God's peace and comfort be upon them. 🙏🏽🙏🏽😔

Darren - Turnie's Mom's Health

Good morning, Golden State Officers,

I’m emailing to ask for your prayers for the Wright family.

 

Yesterday morning Major Turnie W. mom had a heart attack as she was preparing to leave for the corps. Her niece rushed her to the hospital, and they were able to stabilize her, but couldn’t perform surgery due to her age. This morning Turnie got word that his mom’s kidneys are also failing.

 

Turnie is flying to Denver today to be with his mom and meet up with his family.  I assured him of our support and prayers.

 

Thanks and God bless,

 

Darren

Christopher K. - Dad's Health

Thank you for your prayers and support.l for my dad. He has a congenative lung disease. Made is bad to breath already but pneumonia made it extremely difficult to breath on Tuesday early morning. Trip to ER through ambulance. Spent one night in ICU. 

Now in regular room. He is staying at least through the weekend in the hospital. 

They are trying to get pneumonia treated so he can breath a little easier. He is coughing but seems better than yesterday when I came to visit him.

He is still needing a lot of prayers.

Chris G. - Family and Health

We have a home! Joanne, Micah, and I would like to thank all of those who prayed for our family in this situation. We were able to sign a lease last night for a home in Anaheim Hills. I am most grateful to those of you who reached out personally via phone or DM and shared wonderful prayers for us. 

The short of it is that during my five month stay in the hospital last year, I was without an income and fell behind on my bills due to failing health. we asked that you continue to pray for our family and the transition into our new home as I am still dealing with my overall health.

Grateful for this reminder this morning.  Please pray for my family, especially my parents.  We just found out last night that my dad has colon cancer. We don't know how bad it is. There will be a lot more testing done next week and I will update as we hear. My parents' trust in the Lord is such a beautiful example to us. My dad is one of my favorite people in the world and an incredible dad, husband, grandpa, brother, pastor....I am beyond blessed and grateful to be his daughter. ❤️
