We are thanking the Lord for you and your prayers. The Lord is hearing them and answering them.
Tuesday night the Lord brought the preview to the movie "Facing the Giants" back to Cary. Two car loads of lambs were able to attend. There were many others who wanted to attend but not the car space. The movie was so AMAZINGLY GOD and Spirit-filled. The lambs couldn't stop talking about it on the ride home and at the Bible study Thursday night. The movie comes to Crossroads in Cary, September 29th. All can reserve block seating at http://www.facingthegiants.com/ . One area ministry has been given a donation from an area church to take the "Downtown Friends" to see the movie opening Sunday, October 1.
Months ago a lamb released herself from doctor's care due to an aneurysm. She was told if she continued her old lifestyle in the woods she was basically committing suicide. The Lord interceded when her boyfriend accepted Jesus as his personal Savior. For the last 6 weeks, the Lord's lamb has been, in his strength not the Lord's, trying to take care of her and stopping her from using substances. Wednesday friends called EMS to take her to the hospital. She checked herself out. Another lamb saw her Thursday morning passed out at a gas station. During the Bible study, a missionary was asked to help look for her. Her boyfriend found her. This former lost lamb would have been angry. Jesus' new lamb went to wake her, stroked her hair, and asked her to get in the missionary's car. He asked her questions. She became angry, but could be calmed down. They were brought to the dinner and study. He went in to prepare her plate, asking someone else to take it. He remained inside while she ate. Later he asked her if she wanted to take a shower. She did and off they went to missionaries' home. He wants her to go into treatment. He wants her whole again. He realizes he can't take care of her. He is ready to turn her over to the Lord. He realizes God is greater, as well as being the Almighty Physician.
The lamb who was so helpful last week with the lamb who wanted treatment, was again helpful this week. She is the one who called EMS Wednesday. Once she realized the lamb was going to leave for a shower and possible hospitalization, she offered to take care of their pets and look after their belongings. She leaves "Church clothes" at missionaries' home and offered them to the lamb. She is considering being baptized September 10th. Please keep her decision in your prayers.
Also on Thursday night, one of the Lord's lambs received a phone call from his wife. She had worked late and there were no more bus runs. Could someone come get her? A missionary agreed to pick her up after dropping off two other lambs.
So many of your prayers are being answered. God is hearing and answering them.
One of the Lord's lambs is moving into the Incentive Housing Dormitory for men on Snow Avenue Monday while waiting for his apartment to be completed. This is a new temporary housing unit with on-site programs staff that provide intensive case management. God is so good!
The Lord's lamb called Friday night to tell the missionaries she was admitted to treatment. She also wanted to let them know her last name, so she could be visited. She was so cute while on the phone telling the continuing care counselor, "I told you they didn't know my last name. They just wanted to help me get treatment." She also told missionaries that only God can get her through this. Thank you Jesus! Continue to pray she will ask Jesus into her heart.
The Lord's lamb who moved into an Oxford home a couple of weeks ago was able to meet driving angels Sunday to receive a ride to church. He took a bus to a central location. He also met with the orthopedic doctor yesterday.
One lamb has an appointment to meet with the doctor at the Horizon Clinic on the 30th. Please keep him in your prayers. When he made the appointment he wanted help with his broken collar bone and assistance to come off alcohol. Thank you Jesus!
There are a few more prayer requests:
A lamb couple has spent many days in the hospital for one thing or another. Both were released on Tuesday from two different hospitals, one in time to see the movie "Facing the Giants." A family in Christ is considering taking them groceries a couple of times a month and perhaps bringing them to church. God is so good!
The couple in Fuquay now has two, possibly three, families able to offer them rides to church as needed. God is so good!
Another lamb who has been having trouble finding work has moved back into the woods. People at the house where he used to live are threatening to throw out all his worldly belongings, including photo albums, fishing poles and other things he has had since he was young. A missionary is going to help move these things to a safe place while the lamb continues looking for work.
Please pray for another lamb who turned 56 this week. He spent some time with friends who have moved from the woods into a house, but began to feel unwelcome and went back to his camp. His health is not good, he continues to drink every day and his spirits are low. He said, "Do you know what it's like to be lonely when you are not alone? I do."
The Lord's lamb who moved to CA is doing well. He called missionaries. He is feeling well, riding his bike, and alcohol free since November 17th. Thank you Jesus! He asked for prayer for his brother and parents.
