Eric had surgery this morning and is recovering well. Praise God!!! Thank you for praying for him. The next few weeks will be hard as he will be wheelchair bound. Please pray for strength and patience. Thank you all again. We are so blessed to be part of such a loving family of believers. |
|
Please pray for Eric. He has injured both of his feet and is having surgery on his left foot tomorrow morning. |

Our friends that are foster parents were going to take care of the boys for the week and had started the process of changing agencies. Needless to say the agency did not like that they were leaving and has made it so that they are unable to watch the boys while we are on the wilderness trip - we just found this out Friday. So we were in scramble mode for the last couple of days. Finally on Wednesday they found a single mom that could watch the boys. But last night Christian woke up crying, stating that his hip hurt. We took him to the doctor and they said it looks like he has excess water in the joint. This has prompted the doctors to schedule a series of tests and doctor visits. We now have no idea how this is going effect our trip so we really need your prayers. Thank you all. |

Precious Saints, Please join us in praying for the Boulder Ridge "The Heavens Declare the Glory of God" outreach that is scheduled for next week. Please pray that our Lord Jesus would move in the hearts of many children and families, and enable them to see His glory in the heavens He has made. Please pray especially that Jesus would open many eyes to His glory seen in the Gospel! Through our Father’s love, Rick |
|
Please pray for Tim, a man who met with Kyle and me this afternoon. We had the joy of sharing the gospel with him and seeing him cry out for God’s mercy and forgiveness in Christ. Pray that Tim would grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ! |
|
Dearest Saints, I just talked with Marcia Kirby over the phone and she said that Joe and her are recovering quite well from their surgeries. She has another month of therapy. Please pray that she will remain patient during this time as she heals (that she would not try to do too much!). Please also pray that our Lord Jesus would grant her good sleep at night. Joe & Marcia miss all of you VERY MUCH and can’t wait to come back to church!! |

My friend’s daughter, who is college aged, has a friend named Katie who has struggled with eating disorders for years. She finally spent about half a year in a facility for rehabilitation of people with her condition and bonded with a nurse there. She was a Motherly type and kept in consistent contact with Katie even after Katie had exited the program. So when she stopped hearing from the nurse she tried to contact her only to find that the nurse had committed suicide. Katie and many of the other girls whose lives this nurse had touched came to the nurse’s funeral. When one of their friends who was intending to be there didn’t show up the girls went to her apartment only to find her body. She had hung herself. Please pray for Katie and the other girls as they try to deal with these horrible situations. Please pray that the suicides will stop here and not snowball. Pray for strength and healing and life. Thank you. |
|
Lord willing, Tyndale is going to be printing our first issue of HIS NATURE this week. Please pray that the glory of our beautiful King Jesus will shine in the hundreds of churches that soon will be receiving our publication! |
|
Please pray for Marcia as she goes into surgery for hip replacement. She will be operated on this Monday, May 10, at 8:30 am. Thank you and God bless, Joe Kirby |
|
Dear family in Christ, praise the Lord God for a successful prostate surgery. I am recuperating very well. I am grateful for your prayers...Joe Kirby |
|
My Dad was fired from his job almost 2 months ago and has been looking for a new job since that time. I talked with him earlier today and he hasn’t heard anything from any jobs in about 3 weeks, and as a result he is becoming very discouraged. Please keep him in prayer that he will continue to trust in God for provision of a job that will meet his needs. Also pray that God would grant him patience and perseverance as he waits on God’s timing and the job He has for him. |
|
My doctor today told me that the surgery was very successful...no cancer left. The medical numbers indicate all negatives...Praise the Lord! Now I just will keep getting stronger each day. |
|
My dad’s brother, my Uncle Doyle, survived lung cancer about 10 years ago with only one lung left, but has experienced a decade of health problems, including congestive heart disease. This fall he got sick with a virus that led to pneumonia, and ultimately led to him being on life support and in a drug induced coma. My cousins made the most difficult decision of removing the life support yesterday, and they are doing that this morning. It is a very sad day for me. We lost my dad to lung cancer 8 years ago. They both were only in their 60’s. Leah is also quite sick with a respiratory virus. I need to make decisions about whether to travel to Oklahoma for the funeral and need God’s direction and wisdom. So I ask you to pray for me for that. Mostly, I need peace. Thankyou! |
|
I spoke with Marcia this morning, who wanted me to let everyone know that Joe’s surgery went well, and hopefully they will be joining us for worship Sunday. She is grateful to the Lord and thanks you for your prayers! |
|
After many petitions before our Wonderful and Gracious God, he has heard the fervent prayer requests put before His throne of grace! I have a job!! We are so over joyed, Manith and I, that God has truly filled our souls and hearts with His joy and peace. We are so thankful that God has heard our prayers and has answered yes! I start work on Monday morning! Hallelujah! I have joined the ranks of the employed again to bring our God glory and honor. God is so good! He is awesome and powerful and goes before His enemies and defeats them - not our will be done but His for always and forever, AMEN! |
|
Please pray for Joe. He is going in for surgery on his prostate on Tuesday the 20th. Please pray for God’s grace and healing, and that this would get rid of the cancer. Please also pray for me. I have hip replacement surgery on May 10th, and I am in a lot of pain. Pray for God to be glorified in all of this, and that we would get back on our feet! |
|
Please pray Tim Ridenour, who is now in full time care at Hospice for pancreatic cancer. Tim is Tony Skala’s friend and roommate. |
|
Praise the Lord, my sister’s cancer has been reported clear! Please pray that she will remain cancer free, that she would have a true heart for Jesus Christ and that she will become part of a church for Christ alone! |
|
Please pray for my new son-in-law James,who has recently been viewing pornography. He and my daughter, Kirsten, are newlyweds since Oct 09, and she is quite upset about this secret activity. Pray for them both to some day soon receive Christ into their hearts. With sincere thanks for your thoughtful prayers, Jana |
|
Please pray for my sister, Trang. Tomorrow morning at 9:00 she is going into surgery. This is her fourth surgery for cancer, and we are praying that the doctors will be able to get all of it out this time. Please pray that the surgery would go well, and that God would heal her for His glory. |
|
Thank you for your prayers. My sister’s surgery went well, and the surgeon said that the lymph nodes he removed looked good visually. The pathology report on the nodes won’t come back until next week sometime, so I would appreciate continued prayers for Kathy’s health. Also, they haven’t specified what follow-up treatment she might need, so prayers for wisdom for the doctors as they assess the situation when the report comes back would also be appreciated. |
|
Please pray for my roommate Tim. He is physically suffering and is not sure about his standing with God. The outlook on his health is not good. I am very concerned. |
|
Please pray for my sister Katy, who is having surgery to remove the cancer in her breasts late this morning. Please pray for skill for the doctor and his staff; that they would be able to remove all of the cancer and that the lymph nodes would prove clear of the disease. |
|
I just heard from the editor at Tyndale that our "His Nature" fliers have been sent out and should be reaching some 25,000 churches this week. Please pray that our Lord Jesus would be glorified by this mailing and that He would open wide a door of ministry to many churches around the United States. |

Gary Doolittle had a full day in the OR suite. After nine hours of cardiac surgery,he has moved to the recovery room. Although more challenging than expected, he is stable and expected to do well. Praise the Lord !!! He needs to be remembered in our daily prayers for a speedy and uneventful post-op course. Rick Erickson |

As many of you know, we are fostering 2 little ones whom we have had for more than 2 years now. We have an upcoming hearing on Feb 8th in which the judge will decide if she will terminate parental rights so we can adopt. They have already ruled that the children will stay with us but if they do not terminate parental rights we could never adopt and would be forced to have some very unhealthy people in their lives. Also if they start a precedent for this in foster care it would negatively affect possibly thousands of children and families and really break down foster adoption. It is a long story but God knows the details. Please pray for His grace and power to overwhelm the situation and move the judge. God holds the hearts of rulers and kings in His hands. Also be praying for the salvation of the children’s mom. |
|
Dear Church Family, My sister, Katy, who lives in Phoenix, has just learned that she has breast cancer and she is asking for prayer. Please pray for God’s grace for Katy and for my family. - Roberta |
|
Hello again, I would appreciate your prayers. As I have posted before I am going to be taking my RN boards tomorrow (12/30/09) around 8am. Please be in prayer for me that I would be calm, have wisdom, clarity, a sharp mind, retention, recollection and be filled with the Holy Spirit. And the time left to study will be beneficial. Thank you all! |
|
Zach’s uncle John has hepatitis C and is in the hospital now. He has had one liver transplant four year ago, but the disease came back, and he is on the waiting list for new liver. He is a believer. Please pray for his strength and health and that a liver donation would come through. |
|
Dear Church family, The last couple of days we have seen God’s goodness in a wonderful way. the doctors went from having to ambulance Anna from Lafayette to Children’s hospital in Aurora, to having her walk out of the hospital last night by herself. The doctors are telling us to keep life as normal as possible, and her friend Dani spent the night last night and Anna and Donna made applesauce today. The non-epileptic seizures will either subside and fade away, or they will be something she will have to learn to control and live with. Please pray that they will subside quickly. Thank you for all your prayers and love and concern! We look forward to worshiping with you tomorrow. Love, Ron |
|
Dear Shepherd’s Family, Anna Prosise is being admitted to Children’s Hospital afternoon with seizures of unknown origin. Please pray for the wisdom and skill of the doctors and nurses that are caring for Anna. Please also pray that God’s comfort would saturate the Prosise family right now. We will keep you posted regarding Anna’a condition. In Christ’s love, Rick |
|
Dear church family, Thank you for praying for Anna. The doctors at Children’s evaluated her quickly and said that this is something that they have seen in teenagers before. It is not an epileptic type of seizure. It will pass, and she doesn’t have to be admitted to the hospital. They are discharging her and the Prosise’s are heading home. PLEASE continue to pray for Anna. Pray that the Lord will cause this to pass and that His loving hand would guide her through it. Pray for healing and protection. Pray that she and her parents would trust in Him. Psalm 62:5-7. In Him, Kyle |

I received this prayer request from Vera, Anatoly Oleynik’s sister-in-law This morning when I talked to Anatoly, he told me that Russian government want to change the law about religious freedom. Right now this "new law" is in the "russian duma" or "congress". It’s not approve yet, they are working on it. But according this "new law", christian will not be permitted preach the gospel on the street, they will be prosecuted, and will have to pay big penalty. The children under 14 years can not go to the church without written permission from the both parents. Anatoly said, this "new law" was accepted by USSA in 1935, when Stalin regime prosecuted the christian. Please pray asking God to continue freedom in Russia, and keep the door open to preach the Gospel there. Vera has also put up a website with pictures & their most recent prayer letter: www.missionrussia.org |

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank everyone who has been praying with us that God would open a door for HIS CREATION to be able to co-labor with Tyndale House Publishers in ministry. Today, Tyndale officially agreed to start publishing our "His Nature" bulletin inserts! Our omnipotent and all-sufficient God deserves all the praise for this seemingly unlikely series of events that has led to our signing a contract with Tyndale. In a sense, it has taken HIS CREATION 20 years to get to this point — Jesus is the One who perseveres in us. He is so good! |
|
I just received an e-mail from the editor at Tyndale House Publishers and he will be presenting our "His Nature" publication to their Publications Committee on October 26 for final approval. If we pass the Publications Committee, our contract with Tyndale will become official and they will start publishing "His Nature." Please pray that Father’s will be done on the 26th and that He will allow us to spread the fame of His Son’s glory through "His Nature" and Tyndale! |
|
Hello my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, I have decided to take the NCLEX nursing boards again. For those of you who do not know, I have taken them twice before. Please be in prayer that I will study diligently and effectively. Also, pray that I would be calm and trust the Lord through studying and during the test sometime in December. Also, pray that if this is the Lord’s will that I pass the boards. This will be my last attempt to get my RN license. Thank you! Because of Him, Heather |
|
I have surgery today to remove the end of my right collar bone. It is out patient surgery from 11am to 12pm today. Please pray for the doctors, my family, and for a healthy recovery. Thank you all. |
|
Dearest Saints, I just received this e-mail from Sergei — please continue to pray for Pavel, Elena, and Dmitry, and the situation in Uzbekistan! Rick Dear brethren, Thank you very much to you all for the prayers! The situation looks like the brothers and the sister will get the sentence and the amnesty together. That means they will probably won’t face jail, but still get their criminal record and be on the hook till next time anybody unhappy with what they are doing Our brothers and sisters in Uzbekistan highly appreciate your love, care, prayers and encouragement Yours by the love and grace of Christ Jesus Sergei |
|
Dear Saints, HIS CREATION is actively involved in Uzbekistan—Sergei sends our Russian translation of ’CREATOR’ to Christian families there. It’s very possible that our ’CREATOR’ publications were used in the Children’s Camp that Sergei mentions below. Please pray for Pavel, Elena, & Dmitry. It breaks my heart to see Satan attacking the youngest members of their society by trying to shut down these Children’s Camps where the Truth of Christ is being preached to the next generation. Uzbekistan is 11 hours ahead of us, so it will be September 24 in just a few hours! Rick Dear Saints, I just got an urgent prayer need. The Office of Public Prosecutor of Uzbekistan initiated a law suit against the Baptist Union of Uzbekistan because of the Children camp they made. The charges of not paying taxes & forcing children into religious activity against their will are made against Pavel P., Elena K. & camp director, Dmitry P. Court hearing to be Sept. 24. Please pray (Acts 12:5)! Sergei |

I saw the pulmonary specialist and amyloid doctor Monday. They are both 80% sure I have amyloid in my lungs, but are waiting for the biopsy results for confirmation. My doctor recommends high-dose chemo with stem-cell transplant right away. If my lungs get much worse, I won’t be a candidate for high dose. If they try medium or low-dose chemo and it doesn’t work, there won’t be any options left. If the biopsy is positive, they will do a stem-cell collection for 2-3 weeks the end of Oct. I’d go home for about a month and return. After this, unless things go very badly, I can return home and live by myself. I can’t clean house for 100 days. I know I can hire that stuff done and I can at least keep my (dog) Gypsy-baby! My Dad also found out last week he has skin cancer. Please pray that I can encourage him and not be such a burden to him while he’s dealing with his own issues. Please pray that I will focus on Phil 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”. |

Colleen fell down this morning while out hiking and gashed her knee. She received seven sutures at the ER. Please pray for a speedy recovery. I hate to see my sweetheart hurt, but I am so thankful that we can immediately turn to and fully trust our Great Physician to heal her! Rick |
|
As Jesus moves HIS CREATION ahead in the publication of our bulletin inserts through Tyndale, please pray that God's glory would be proclaimed and cherished in thousands of churches across our nation. Please also pray that I would remain broken in Christ's humility - that I could solely rely on His wisdom in writing about His precious character in these bulletin inserts. Father's Spirit is gently, but firmly reminding me (once again) to stay focused on Jesus' glory, and remain single-hearted in the ministry He has graciously given me... Please pray that God would work Jeremiah 32:39 in my life every day: "I will give them singleness of heart and action, so that they will always fear Me for their own good and the good of their children after them." NIV May our Triune God be pleased to use the HIS NATURE bulletin inserts to publish His glory! |

I have a job interview coming up this Thursday @ 10:30 am. Please join me and come into agreement as I present my request before the Lord. My prayer is that: I will fulfill what God's needs and wants are concerning this job opportunity - not what I want and need. It is all about glorifying Him and honoring Him. That I will fulfill the calling He has ordained me to do in this new job. That I will be a light shining in a dark, dark world and that I would be a powerful witness for Jesus Christ in the work place through my words, deeds, thoughts and actions. That I will be calm and collect as I take a pre-employment test and will think clearly so that I may pass the exam. That I will be honorable, courteous and respectable with my speech and actions filled with the salt of the Lord as I am interviewed by a three person panel. And that this will be God's will to fulfill His desires for my life. Thank you, Tony Sanchez |
|
Thank you all of you praying saints. We have had some answered prayer and good news and some very frustrating news in the last few days. Praise God, some things were brought to light which have made the county reconsider sending the children home at this time!! We have been told though that mom may go into residential treatment and the county isn't going to argue for Termination of Parental rights at the next court date due (long-story). They are scheduling a court date as early as the 19th. We are supposed to meet with a Children's Law center in Denver on Monday to discuss their rates etc. The lawyer said that she also will be candid with us about our chances of fighting Denver. Please pray that God would end this at the next court date as the judge can choose to end it, for wisdom in the decision to intervene in court and whether to hire this law firm and for peace. Also the mother's sister is in critical condition in the hospital pray she repents and comes to Christ. |
|
I have found myself in a situation that requires me to find a 20 hour a week job making $20,000 a year with health benefits. I really would like it to be in a Christian ministry somewhere. This is a tall request, but I know we serve the God of the impossible. Would you please pray for my job search? Do you know of anything that would fit the bill? I am so thankful for your labor in prayer and may the Lord richly bless you all. Love, Mali. |
|
Thanks to all of you who prayed for Paige over the weekend. She was released from the hospital this morning and is doing great. She had a virus that developed into pneumonia. She's still clearing out her lungs a little, but her blood oxygen level is good. Your prayer, phone calls, and visits were a great help to our family. Thanks! |
|
Please be diligent in prayer for our family. We have a court date Aug 31st. We've had the children for over 19 months (since Dawnette was 8 days old). We have been told repeatedly we would be able to adopt them. We got a call today, and in spite of many concerns, they want to re-unify the children with their mother. If the case worker has her way they will be sent back to their mother very soon. Please pray for God's protection over the children, that anything that would harm them would be revealed, and that they would not be sent back to an unsafe environment. Also pray for peace and comfort for our family, as you can imagine we are heartbroken and fearful for their well-being. Especially pray for me (Lisa) as I feel that I'm losing my own babies. The baby only knows us as her family and will be devastated and confused if taken away. She is extremely bonded with our family and has no family bond with her mom. We plead for your prayers for God's intervention! |
|
Marcia Kirby's bone marrow biopsy was negative (it showed no cancer in her bone marrow). We thank our great Physician for this news! Her blood iron level, however, is low. The doctors are looking into why. Please continue to pray for Joe & Marcia as they walk this path with Jesus. |
|
Please keep our friends Kervy and Karen Vincoy in your prayers. They served as missionaries in the Philippines over the summer when Kervy was hospitalized with a twisted large intestine and had surgery over there because they did not think he would make it back to the states. He has just been released and they plan on being back in CO 8/8. Please pray for his health and safe travels. Thank you. |
|
Please pray for my friend Jenny. She & her husband are on the brink of divorce. She is not a believer (they are going to Mile High Church of Religious Science). We spent last weekend together at a conference & talked a lot. We talked a lot about whether people are "good" or not & I mentioned the movie "Fireproof" to her. I told her that the person in the movie could not love his wife without the power of Christ. I sent her a copie of the movie & the "Love Dare" book, along with the gospel of John & "He did this for you" by Max Lucado. Please pray that God would open her eyes to her need for a saviour & give her a desire to love her husband with Agape love. |
|
"Praise God from whom all blessings flow". To my loving church family I want to say thank you for your ongoing prayers to our Lord and Savior. I just received the results from a recent PET scan which showed that I am still cancer free!!!! It will be two years in September. God has blessed me tremendously during this time through you! "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." James 1:17 |
|
Dear Shepherd's, Marcia Kirby (Joe & Marcia) found out last week that she has lymphoma. She went in for a bone marrow biopsy yesterday and is anticipating that she will probably be starting chemotherapy soon. As Christ's Spirit brings her & Joe to mind, please pray for them! I talked with her this past Sunday and Jesus has given her an amazing peacefulness of heart regarding her diagnosis. Please pray that she & Joe would continue in our sweet Lord's peace and comfort. Thank you so much!! Rick |
|
Dearest Saints, Thank you SO MUCH for all your prayers——they have been richly answered!! Our sweet Lord Jesus has given me a day free from all melancholy. Thank you so much for this precious encouragement you have lavished on me today through pray!! For this is what the high and lofty One says— He who lives forever, whose name is holy: "I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is [crushed] and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the [crushed]" Isaiah 57:15 In Father's perfect love, Rick Destree |
|
Dear Saints, I have been really struggling with melancholy and irritability recently. I want so much to be satisfied in Jesus' incomparable glory, but I'm finding it difficult to keep my focus on Him, which is discouraging. Please pray that the Holy Spirit would once again allow me to cry out with all my heart that God is "my Joy and my Delight." "Then will I go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will praise you with the harp, O God, my God" (Psalm 43:4). In Father's love, Rick Destree |
|
We have two important prayer requests. The first and foremost being that God would be glorified and show Himself as the defender of the weak in our upcoming Termination (or Parental Rights) hearing on August 31st. We have had Devon and Dawnette for over 19 months, since the day Dawnette came out of the hospital after being born premature. We love them very much and have been through a lot of disappointments with the way this has drug out, the children would be very tramautized and most likely in a bad situation if they went home at this point. If termination goes through we would be able to adopt them. The second request has to do with trying to get closer to this body as we live up near Ft. Collins in Windsor. We put the house on the market a couple of weeks ago and are praying that it sells and God directs us to a new home and to which area would be best for us for service and fellowship. |
|
Thanks so much to everyone who has been praying for my mom. She came through the surgery very well and has been in the ICU for 2 days now. Today they are moving her to a regular room in the hospital. We are praising God for His goodness in allowing the doctors to find and treat her condition, for her body's healing, and His strength to help her through this difficult time. She is dealing with a lot of pain, please pray for the Lord to be her comfort and strength and for Rick and I to continue to point her to Christ throughout her healing. I am so grateful for our faith family back home...we miss you all! In Christ, Colleen |
|
Dear Shepherd's Family, Colleen's mom has developed a dangerously-large aneurysm in her abdomen and is scheduled for major surgery this coming Wednesday. Colleen & I will be driving to Illinois this weekend and staying with Mom for most of her recovery. Please pray that Christ will be glorified! Please pray that we can shine Jesus' love into Mom's life. She is a Believer, but in some ways, young in the Lord. Please pray that Colleen & I will die to ourselves daily so that we can be used by God to be of maximum help to her mom. Please also pray that I will die to myself as I support Colleen through this extremely difficult time. Mom is scheduled to be in the hospital for 7 to 10 days after surgery and will then move to an extended care facility for at least a month (the surgeon insisted on the latter). She doesn't have anyone else she can consistently rely upon, so we probably won't see you again until June or later. We'll miss you all! In Christ's sweet, sweet love, Rick Destree |
|
Please be in prayer for Shirley McAdams—her father passed away yesterday, and she left to fly out for his memorial service in Yuma, Arizona. Pray for God's peace and grace to be manifest during this difficult time. "You came near when I called you, and you said, 'Do not fear.'" (Lamentations 3:57) |
|
Dearest Saints, Colleen has developed symptoms of a severe urinary tract infection. Her doctor started her on an antibiotic this afternoon, but unfortunately she promptly got very sick to her stomach (due to the medicine). She is down in bed and feeling worse. We are flying out of town early Wednesday morning to attend the Ligonier National Conference. Please pray that we can get Colleen on a different antibiotic soon and that she will respond well to it. We praise our sweet Lord Jesus in the midst of this trial because we know that He cares for Colleen and believe that He will be glorified through it!! In His precious love, Rick |
|
Dear Church Family, I will be undergoing open heart surgery on Monday, March 9 at St. Joseph Hospital in Denver. The surgery will be to remove the "clot" from the right atrium of my heart and to check on one mass and one shadow that have shown up on my right lung (shown on the PET scan). The spots on my lung are more likely areas of inflammation, infection or blood clots rather than cancer (Praise God!). But, quite honestly they don't know what they are...so we have to see :). I'm asking for you to pray for wisdom for everyone involved in this especially the docs. That God would guide their hands. That he would also continue to blanket our family in His peace, the "peace that transcends all understanding". And that he would heal me completely. Thank you for all of prayers and all of the love you have provided us. |
|
I pray that Alicia and Dan come to know the Lord Jesus Christ. They are in need of God's love and God's grace. Alicia is headed down the wrong road and needs to be lifted up. |
|
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, Please join me in praying for my mom who was admitted to the hospital yesterday in AZ and will be undergoing surgery tomorrow for the cancer in her colon they identified today. How wonderful is our God that He has given us His Word and His Spirit, and has brought us into His church, to sustain, equip, encourage, keep us in all and through all things. thank you and His grace and peace to you shirley |
|
Thank you all for your prayers. I wanted to update the previous prayer requests. The plan is to have open heart surgery on March 9th. There is a type of open heart surgery that is a little less invasive (I'm hoping I can have this kind), but I know God is incontrol and I trust His will for me. From now until March 9th, I will undergo many tests to check things out (PET scan, CT scans,blood work). Thank you for walking through this journey with us with prayer, service, and love. We have been so blessed! To God be the Glory! |
|
Dear Church Family I want to thank for you all for your prayers over the past year and a half especially. I have just found out that I am facing another surgery. The cardiologists are uncertain at this time if it is a blood clot in my heart or something else. So it needs to come out. I am also facing a "minor procedure" in the near future as well. I am so blessed to be a part of this body of believers. Thank you for your prayers. |
|
Many have asked for an update on Kelly's status. It is pretty much status quo, and that's the problem. Yesterday she had an echo cardiogram down her throat to get a closer look at the clot in the heart. The cardiologist is going to take the results to a conference of about 30 other cardiologists and heart surgeons on Tuesday to try to come up with a new gameplan. The blood thinner just isn't working quick enough. We should know more Tuesday evening or Wednesday. We're praying there is some alternative to open heart surgery, and we would still appreciate your help with that. Thanks. |
|
Please pray for my coworker Patsy. She just lost her full term baby to a clot in the cord back in November. It was her first, and she's really not doing well. As she is not a believer, she seems lost with no spiritual anchor. She is not close to her family, and feels she only has her husband, Pete's, support. Pray for healing and direction, and salvation for both of them. Pray for a loving, understanding, and compassionate heart for me. |
|
Please pray for my long time friend Garth and his family. His dad Carl has brain cancer with a large inoperable tumor. Carl was doing well, but has recently taken a turn for the worse, and there is only one more chemo to try. Pray for Carl's healing and complete recovery. Also, please pray for Garth as he seems to be questioning "why?". Garth has a loose catholic background, and though he seems to have some kind of faith, I doubt if he's a believer. Pray that Garth will be drawn near to the Lord at this time, and that he would be saved if he is not already. Pray that God would use me to boldly share the gospel and that the power of the gospel would bring Garth to the cross. Thanks. |
|
I wanted to ask for prayer for my father, who is 78 years old, and who was admitted to the hospital in El Paso on Saturday with a blood disorder. It sounds like he has been having severe joint pain, losing weight and getting little sleep for some time. His spirits, however, are higher now that his doctors have a diagnosis and have decided on a course of treatment. They are hopeful that he will only be in the hospital for three or four days. Please pray for his relationship with the Lord to be deepened, and that his spriits will remain high. Pray also, for the treatment to be effective, for healing, and that no surgery will be necessary. |

We have been praying for Rick Erickson, who had testing for his heart done this week. It was discovered that Rick had ninety percent artery blockage, and was in surgery this morning, which went well. I will be visiting Rick at St. Joseph's hospital this evening. Praise the Lord for this timely discovery and pray for his full recovery! |

I am having surgery next week, Thursday, Jan. 15. I have had problems with ovarian cysts for years and have had a couple of surgeries before for this problem, one surgery damaged an ovary. I have had persistent pain on that ovary for months and the decision has been made to go ahead and remove both ovaries. Please pray for me to have God's peace before and after this procedure and for all of my family to do well through the recovery period. Also, please join me and Praise the Lord for his goodness to us in allowing us to be able to have any children at all!! I have been reminded recently through the pain of what a miracle it is that God gave us 4 children, despite my medical history. |

Our son Cam has been having stomach aches and heartburn for some time and tomorrow morning will be having an endoscopy (scope down throat) to take a look around and take some samples. Pray for peace, protection, and for wisdom for the doctor. |

I just received a call from Dewey--traveling to California, they hit some ice and totaled their car. But thankfully, everyone is ok. Thank you Lord, for your protection! Please pray for continued safety for them as they continue their journey. |

This morning I met with Jameson, who will be having surgery tomorrow. He asked for prayer for this, and for God's wisdom. Thanks, Pastor Ron Prosise |

I'd like to start off with an amazing praise. Our amazing heavenly father has brought Dee and I a beautiful baby boy, who is quite healthy and we will be forever grateful!!! =) We made a slight error, however, in assuming it would be easy once we got him home. We are having trouble getting him to eat, and it is taking a large physical and emotional toll on us both. Please pray that God will provide us with the strength and encouragement we need to persevere. We both know that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us, but it is still a trying time. Thank you all! |

Please pray for my family in Houston. My mom, dad, sister, and my sister's family all live in the Houston area, along with many friends. (I grew up in the Houston area.) My family is not near the coast, but they could still get heavy wind and rain, perhaps even flooding. Thank you. ~donald |

Hello family, We received news that blood clots developed in Kelly Ferdig's heart. She is in the hospital at this time and will be treated and monitored overnight. We do not yet know the extent or number of clots but exhort you to pray for her and her family during this time. She has been a model of godliness and perseverance to us throughout her battle with cancer as we witnessed the power of the Holy Spirit (The Comforter) in her life. Praise be to God for her example! Thank you all for praying. |

Dee and I both have large scale decisions to make involving our current and future job situation, and we would love to have our brothers and sisters in Christ pray for us =) Please pray that God will grant us wisdom to make the right decision. Also pray that we will glorify Him by being steadfast in our faith that through all God WILL provide. Thank You! |

Tom's dad (in Nebraska) is in the final stages of cirrhosis of the liver. Jan's dad (in Wisconsin) is in the final stages of Alzheimer's. Both men have rejected any talk of Salvation. Please pray that both will have clarity of mind to see their need and reach out to the Savior. Please also pray for the family. This is hard especially for Jan's mom. None of the family is saved. And please pray for us to know what God wants us to do. |

Please pray for the salvation of our 17 year old daughter, that the Lord would have mercy on her and draw her to Christ, that she would repent and trust Christ as Lord and Savior and start obeying Him. Thank you so very much for allowing me to share this, but most of all for your prayers. In Christ, Gudrun |

Church Family, As many of you know I have been looking for part-time work at home (bookkeeping/accounting) for quite a long time now without any real results. I would greatly appreciate your prayers for Randy and I as we seek God's will in my continued search for work as well as in how we may need to change our finances to better suit our current position. God has continually blessed us and provided for us as I have not been working outside the home. We know that He has also called us to be good stewards of the resources He has provided, so we want to make sure we are doing that to the best of our abilities. I would also appreciate your prayers for God to guide and direct us to what He would have me do. I know that I desperately need God's guidance, direction, and wisdom to be able to find the job that God has planned for me. Above all, we desire to follow God's will and plan for our lives, and need prayer that He will help us to discern and obediently follow whatever He has for us. |

Dear Church Family, Thank you all for the prayers that you have lifted up on my behalf. I have been so blessed to be a part of this body of believers. Thank you for allowing God to work through you. I humbly ask you to continue to pray for my health as I have gone through another series of tests and have another one to go next week. God is so good and so faithful. I also write to ask for prayer for my father-in-law, Joe's dad. This week he was diagnosed with rectal cancer. We still do not know many of the details, but ask that you would remember him in your prayers as well. I feel so blessed to be able to write to you and ask these things. Thank you for all you have done and all you continue to do. We praise God in all of these things. |

I just recieved a phone call from a very good friend who has visited our church in the past and he had very sad news. His name is Don and he called to tell me his daughter was found dead today in their Broomfield home. Cause of death is not known at this point. This was the only daughter. She was married and had a teenage daughter. Please pray for the husband (Ed and daughter Baily) as they go through this very difficult time. Also pray for my good friend Don and his wife as they sorrow over this unexpected loss. Thankyou so much Gary Doolittle |

How great is our God and all will see how great how great is our God!" That song comes to mind as I email the good news on Samuel. Deedee just called...the PET scan results were normal, the bone marrow was normal, Samuel is out of bed and walking around and actually going home this evening!!!! The doctors are amazed. Jim and Deedee are overwhelmed, I guess Jim is dancing around the room. (I'm probably going to get in trouble for that : ) As many of you know, the oncology team of doctors were preparing Jim and Deedee for a leukemia or lymphoma diagnosis. So we rejoice with the Martinko family and bless His holy name!! Say to God, "How awe-inspiring are Your works!" Psalm 66:3 With great joy, Hilary |

Dear family, Please lift up Samuel Martinko in prayer before our Merciful God as he is in the hospital today undergoing testing for a sudden drop in white blood cell count. He started having severe headaches and a high fever two nights ago and a spinal tap yesterday cleared meningitis as an option. However, the symptoms continued last night and his blood tests today show some anomalies. May He grant Samuel strength and peace as he goes through this difficult time... Please pray. Thank you. |

Please take a moment today to pray for the people of Yangon, Myanmar. Pray that God's glory will be revealed through the lives of those who assist the victims and that people will seek Christ in this time of tragedy. |

With Kelly's permission, I am submitting a prayer request on her behalf. Kelly's heart scan is this Thursday, the 8th. Please pray for good results, that her heart function has improved enough to continue treatment. And also that she would get a good technician to start her IV. Thanks SCC! |

This morning, Darylee was taking the kids to school and was rear-ended outside of Longmont. No major injuries, but Sydney's teacher just called because she is complaining of neck and back pain. Darylee's neck is a little stiff too. We'll be taking Sydney to her Pediatrician as a pre-caution. Please pray for them that there is nothing serious and for God to help calm their nerves. |
