October 26, 2008

We are thanking the Lord for your prayers. We would like to update you with answered prayers as well as new prayer requests.

Praises:
· The lamb with lung cancer now has oxygen and doing much better.
· The lamb who was paralyzed and returned to Mexico a year ago, is standing unassisted and able to take a few steps with assistance. God is a God of miracles!
· A lamb, who died last year, ashes were scatter this month where the people who loved him can think of him as they overlook the bay.
· A beautiful memorial service was held yesterday for a lamb who died two weeks ago.
· Thank You Jesus for the food you provided this month to feed so many people and families in need.
· Fiesta Day praises: The coat give away went smooth. We had 60 people more or less come to get winter clothes, the majority left grateful. Few kids and grown-ups didn't find what they needed (sizes) that was disappointing to us, but we did our best. We had the mariachi come to sing and he also ministered the word of God. The crowd being mostly non-believers found themselves at odds but little by little they welcomed his message. We prayed the prayer of salvation and most in attendance repeated it with us. God is so good!
· We are thanking the Lord for all the items donated this month. They included food, clothing, blankets, and paper products.

Prayer requests:
· A year ago a man had a stroke leaving him partially blind. He had corrective surgery this week. He is recovering nicely and moving to St. Louis to be closer to his sister. Please keep his recovery and move in prayer.
· A newborn baby was diagnosed this week with Sickle Cell Anemia-hemoglobin C disease. Please keep this family in prayer as they struggle with his diagnosis.
· Keep in prayer a lamb who was severely beaten this week.
· A lamb is asking for prayer as he decides which rehab program to enter. Pray he selects the one the Lord has in mind for him.
· The family, whose mother and fetal sister went to meet Jesus, have arrived safely home from Mexico. Please keep them in pray as they continue with life without their mother, wife, sibling, and friend.
· Continue to keep our son in your prayers. He is improving, less than a dozen episodes of apnea and cyanosis a day compared to 5 an hour. The doctors have no idea why he is having episodes of apnea and cyanosis.
· January 6th there will be a “3 Kings Day” party in Cary for the children at the Apex and Cary missions. Please keep these children in prayer as gifts are collected. A list will be available soon for anyone wanting to purchase gifts for these children.
