Kerryn L. - Daniel’s Health

Can you all pray for Daniel tomorrow? Some of you know he has had pesky/painful kidney stones for a few years now, (the recent count is over 40 stones between both kidneys) tomorrow he is having surgery to have them removed/blasted etc. Pray that the surgery goes well and he can get more answers after this for what is going on! 🙏🏻

Raymond E.K- Wife Jennifer’ Procedure

Please keep Jennifer, my wife in your thoughts and prayers this afternoon. She’s been having chronic pain on her left knee and will be having a wacky procedure done, an implant of a cadaver bone (tissue obtained from a deceased donor), because who needs live bone anyway. She’ll be non-mobile for several weeks.

Candidates Strategy: Pray for a new Territorial Candidate Strategy. With a desire to ensure the bright future of the Army, we ask for wisdom to create a strategy that fits our culture.

Franklin Graham - Terrorists in England

Pray for Manchester, England. There was a terrorist attack this morning at a synagogue on Yom Kippur. Two people were killed in the car ramming and stabbing rampage, and three others were seriously hurt. We have deployed crisis-trained chaplains with the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team to minister in this shocked and grieving community. I am also scheduled to preach there in October of next year. Hatred for the Jewish people is a cancerous rot. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said, "Antisemitism is a hatred that is rising, once again. Britain must defeat it, once again." Pray for the families who lost loved ones and for the injured.
