What a blessing to witness the expansion of God’s kingdom! Each of these prayer requests demonstrates how Jesus is touching His lambs. Jesus’ light is being seen through those who spread the Gospel not just with words but with their behavior and actions. The lambs want some of Jesus but aren’t sure they can leave the old life. Each one is crying out, He hears their cries but they feel their faith is so weak. They need you to intercede for them and continue to be the Light of the World, in Jesus’ mighty name.

Garner
-This is the second time in 2 weeks a lamb has been admitted to the hospital. She wants to change her life and her body wants her life changed. Pray she will allow Jesus in and desire only Him
-A lamb talked with his family (mother, father, sisters, and DAUGHTERS) He wants to get treatment. Pray that this lamb calls upon Jesus for his strength.
-A lamb found out his cancer has grown. He goes back to UNC this week for a recheck.

-Lambs have had their home condemned. Pray that as they grow closer to Jesus their lives will desire the new wine over the old.
