Prayer requests
1. Please pray for direction and vision for the church. Now that there is some momentum there are things to do, people to minister to, and decisions to make. Pray also that I would be able to set my priorities right and spend the quality and quantity time to give to the church. Lately my thoughts have been scattered into a zillion different directions.
2. Pray for our landlady who is having surgery the day after Christmas. It is a very serious surgery and she has already exceeded the average lifespan. We have shared Jesus with her many times, and the most important thing is a spiritual healing.
3. Pray for God’s grace and peace for the landlady’s family. They need a touch from the Lord. Pray that we would be able to minister to them better.
Thank you for all your prayers and support.
