Turnie W. - Today

Father God Lord Jesus good morning. I as k today that you be with those who are getting the call today that are on the move in the USA western territory of the Salvation Army. Lord I know fully well the anticipation and anxiety they are all feeling. But the words of the chorus “ draw me close to you, never let me go. I want to be so close to you that all will see your love in me” came to me this morning. That is my prayer this morning that all those who are getting the call today and finding out where they are moving will be comforted by those words. Lord be with us all and may those words echo in our hearts and minds today. In your mighty name. Amen!!

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!

Turnie W. - Self/Others

Keep them calm and focused on what they need to do now. Lord you know the whys and everything else. Show us Lord your mercy and grace. In your mighty name. Amen!!

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.
