From Karen Bunker:
I got a wonderful update from Kay Davis today and wanted
to share it with all of you who have been so faithful
through her ups and downs as she was struggling to find
a place to live..........Please read this wonderful
report below:
Dear Karen:
Today I have just finished listening to my on-line
minister, Dr. Robert Schuller, of California's Chrystal
Cathedral Church. His positive message: Prepare! For
Answered Prayers was for me a very timely message!
http://www.crystalcathedral.org/hour_of_power/index.php
As you were instrumental in sending out a plea on my
behalf to literally thousands across the Universe to
join me in my prayers of having God help me find a new
home! And He did....first came the answer of my finding
the 29' travel trailer. Then came the successful
provision of financing of it by the dear friends on
whose property the travel trailer will be placed. I have
been daily blessed by being surrounded by His Love and
given physical as well as emotional strength to once
again (so many times now I have lost count but upward of
50+) of packing and stacking the boxes, awaiting the
actual move. And tears were shed--both of sadness in
remembering the unhappy moves and uprooting in the past
and the happy ones, simply knowing within my heart, He'd
be with me all the way. Financial gifts have come from
those who asked to remain anonymous. Other gifts of
kitchen and bathroom items in the way of fulfilling
those needs have also been provided! And for a small
space, I was given a small but almost like-new 13"
television. As a dear friend said to me, "AIN'T GOD
GOOD? ALWAYS IN ALL WAYS!"
Today I will spend some time finishing some more of the
"last minute" packing and resting. Tomorrow morning
early I will arise and load some more boxes to take with
me as I venture down the road to Huachuca City to go get
a mail box as well as be on the property, awaiting the
arrival of my travel trailer and watching it get set up.
Needless to say the excitement of this anticipation is
building. And will again confirm with my friends of the
date of my actual move out from here--Sunday the
8th--the day of my actual 67th birthday! What more
fitting a gift could my Heavenly Father God have given
me? Yes, God does answer prayers!
Once I am actually in my home, I will take a picture and
post it to and send another update, confirming that
there indeed was a conclusion to my Heavenly Father
God's almighty workings once again in my life. My
heartfelt praise goes up to Him and to you and all those
thousands who have reached out with their prayers! He
knows and gives up what is the very best for us!
My love to you,
Kay
My answer to Kay:
What a wonderful PRAISE REPORT..........God truly is
soooooooo good. I know
that you are more than ready to settle down and get
moved in finally. Sometimes,
for reasons that we don't understand, God makes us wait.
But, in so doing, we learn
that it is because the event prayed for would not have
turned out nearly as nice, had we gotten an immediate
answer. Your patience and your faith along with many,
many prayers on your behalf have rewarded you.
I will send this to the Prayer Warriors and we will be
Praising God above for this wonderful and overwheming
answer to prayers. I pray that you will send us the
picture. This is a great VICTORY for you and for this
Prayer Team. WE WILL TRULY BE PRAISING GOD FOR HIS MERCY
AND LOVE.
Thank you so much for this Praise Update!
Love to all,
Karen
************
Here is an update on Chris Olsen. There is still not a
lot of change in his conditions. However, the hospital
has allowed that a group from Chris' school (I believe)
be allowed in every night on the Sixth Floor Conference
Room of Building D of Medical City in
Dallas, Texas. At 7:00 each evening they are holding a
Prayer and Worship service on Chris' behalf. As a result
of this special service, they are having many people
feeling better and it has a wonderful revival effect on
everyone who is there. Wonderful things have come as a
result.
So, they are praying once again for a Miracle for Chris
and complete healing with a "DON'T GIVE UP" ATTITUDE.
So, beginning tonight at 7:00 Central time, please pray
for Chris to be completely healed and that hearts will
be touched and changed. Until you hear otherwise, will
you please do that each night. That will increase the
numbers praying for him and God will truly hear his name
as many more are added to this plea.
I will keep you updated on anything new that I hear.
************
Continue praying for Karen Kelley as she is still
burdened with the blockage. She sounds good and has not
lost her sense of humor, but is ready to go home. Please
pray for help for her on this problem she is having.
********
Thanks for all the blessings you send out to others as
God answers your prayers everyday. God bless you all and
have a great evening.
Please pray for the complete healing of Jeff
Guest...Please ask God to send him a miracle.
God Bless You!!!
Please remember Maj. John S. Davidson, USMC,(and all our
troops) in your daily prayers
as he serves this country in Afghanistan; Semper Fi
Daniel 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the
brightness of the firmament;
and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars
for ever and ever.
In Him,
Karen

Dear Church,
Chris is resting peacefully this morning. He is very
rarely even on pain meds. He still has pneumonia but it
is not spreading. Cynthia is full of peace and so
grateful that the body is persevering in prayer.
Last night was amazing! We had 70+ people here seeking
the Lord together, with other people joining us as they
walked by. We were able to pray for many people's
healing. The Holy Spirit ministered to us in a powerful
way. Because there were so many people we moved to the
atrium. The church was out or her 4 walls!
If your lifegroup would like to join us, you are welcome
to but don't feel obligated because we have already
outgrown our space and are not sure if we will be able
to continue to meet in the atrium. We don't want to
limit what the Lord is doing so come if the Spirit is
leading you.
We are planning to meet each night at 7 at the hospital
except Wednesday we will be in the youth space.
Wednesday night would be a great night for an adult life
group to meet in the 6th floor conference room to pray
so that someone is there.
Taking food to the hospital for Cynthia and her family
is one way you can help. Something like a lasagna,
casserole or soup in two small containers would be
great. One could stay at the hospital and the other
could go to the house for Cheyanne, Zechariah and
Cynthia's brother, John. Cynthia also loves salad. There
is a small refrigerator at the hospital (that families
share) to store her food. Please contact Julie Dawson if
you would like to help and she can check to see what is
needed.
The Lord is doing a beautiful thing among us. He's
teaching us to persevere in seeking him in suffering so
that we be mature people of God with a passion to
advance his kingdom, to the praise of his glory.
All honor and glory and praise to Him,
DON'T FORGET TO PRAY WITH THIS GROUP TONIGHT AT 7:00
P.M. CENTRAL TIME FOR CHRIS OLSEN WHO IS FIGHTING FOR
HIS LIFE AGAINST LEUKEMIA. HE ALSO HAS PNEUMONIA AND A
STAPH INFECTION, I BELIEVE. THEY ARE HAVING PRAISE AND
PRAYER MEETINGS THERE NIGHTLY AT 7:00 FOR CHRIS.
IT IS WONDERFUL HOW THE LORD IS SHOWING UP AND OTHER WHO
ARE ILL ARE ALSO BENEFITING FROM THIS WONDERFUL PRAYER
TIME. SO WATCH YOU CLOCK AND JOIN IN WITH THIS GROUP.
THERE MOTTO IS "DON'T GIVE UP"! CONTINUE TO PRAY HARD
FOR CHRIS' MIRACLE AND COMPLETE HEALING. PRAYER STILL
CHANGES THINGS. LET US PUT OUR ENTIRE PRAYER TEAM ON
THEIR KNEES TONIGHT FOR CHRIS. ALSO REMEMBER HIS FAMILY
TO BE STRENGTHENED.
THANKS TO ALL WHO PRAY FOR CHRIS TONIGHT..........GOD
BLESS YOU, CHRIS!! PEOPLE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU ALL OVER
THE WORLD TONIGHT!
KAREN BUNKER AND THE PRAYER WARRIORS OF
JOY IN THE MORNING MINISTRIES AND

I am so thankful to let you know tonight that our own
Karen Kelley is at home. We are all so thankful for her
improvement and PRAISE OUR GOD FOR HER HEALING. Please
continue to pray for our sweet sister and Thank our
Beloved Lord for His blessings.
We love you, Karen.........Welcome Home!
*********
It is with such a blessing for me to share with you
these words that came to me from my nephew, Shaun
Fagan...........Please read Shaun's words:
I just had a talk with my pastor today to discuss an
idea about having a ministry for vets and their families
in our community. I'm excited about it and nervous but
am hoping and praying for His direction. My back seems
to be getting better than I thought it would be. I was
hoping and praying for that also.
Shaun shared with me a couple of weeks ago that he felt
the Lord was calling him to this ministry for veterans
and their families. I am so thrilled to get to share
this with all of you tonight. He is a wonderful young
Christian man and is very dedicated to the Lord. Please
remember his back AND this new ministry in prayer. GOD
HAS CALLED HIM AND I KNOW GOD WILL BLESS HIM!!
Love you, Shaun

TO ALL OF YOU HAVE PRAYED IN THIS LAST YEAR FOR MAJ.
JOHN S. DAVIDSON, USMC, WHO WAS DEPLOYED LAST YEAR AT
THIS TIME TO AFGHANISTAN, I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH.
JOHN FLEW IN TO THE BASE THERE IN HAWAII WHERE HE AND
HIS CREW WERE WELCOMED HOME BY THEIR FAMILIES.
WE ARE SO THANKFUL TO HAVE JOHN BACK WITH HIS GIRLS,
CARIE AND CADENCE, AND I THANK ALL OF YOU WHO PRAYED FOR
HIS SAFETY. GOD COVERED HIM AND RETURNED HIM BACK TO HIS
FAMILY AND WE ARE SO THANKFUL TO GOD FOR HIS SAFE
RETURN.
THANK YOU, JOHN, AND ALL THE OTHERS THAT HAVE SERVED AND
ARE RISKING AND GIVING THEIR LIVES DAILY FOR OUR
FREEDOM. YOU ARE MY HERO!!!! GOD BLESS YOU AND I LOOK
FORWARD TO SEEING YOU VERY SOON............LOVE YOU ALL

I talked to my son, Cody , a couple of days ago. He was
feeling a little bit better. I tend to overdo the
motherhood thing when he gets sick. I try not to call
and bug him so I truly HOPE he is still improving.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR HIM TO BE COMPLETELY WELL
AGAIN VERY SOON. Thanks to all of you who are praying
for him. Love you, Cody!
**********
I sincerely hope that I have not forgotten anyone.
Please let me know if I have failed to put your prayer
request (or your Praise) in here! WE HAVE SO MUCH TO

PLEASE SEND THE HEALINGS NECESSARY TO TAKE CARE OF ALL
THOSE WHO ARE ILL. WE PRAISE YOU FOR THIS ONE WHO HAS
BEEN CALLED INTO A NEW MINISTRY.

From Karen Bunker
Here are the latest prayer requests and updates that we
have at this time.
From our own precious Patty Bevelle, we get the latest
update on Chris Olsen which comes from his church
family:
Dear Family,
Chris is about the same this morning - resting
comfortably. God is using this time to make himself
know. We continue to meet each night in the lobby at the
hospital and he continues to pour his love and hope into
our hearts. Every night he brings someone for us to
minister too. The ICU waiting room is one floor above
and overlooks the lobby. We've been able to pray with
the families there. Last night I looked up and saw some
family members leaning against the railing with their
hands lifted to the Lord worshiping with us.
He also brought a young mother who's 8 week old baby,
Dakota, is not expected to live. We were able to pray
for her and minister God's love to her. It was an honor.
And it is easy to share the gospel with the nurses
because they are watching the people of God be the
people of God.
Something wonderful is happening in our hearts as we
meet together daily.
...because I provide water in the desert and streams in
the wasteland, to give drink to my people, my chosen,
the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my
praise. Is. 20-21
He is pouring out his Spirit for us to drink in this
"desert" so that we may proclaim his praise. Hallelujah!
With love,
Diann
I would like to take just a moment to say that I am so
touched by this outpouring of faith in God as this
church body reaches out on behalf of one of its' own. In
so doing, they are able to minister to so many others
who are also suffering bitterly. May God continue to
bless this group and the important work they are doing
on behalf of Chris.
Chris may never know just how much his life counts for
the cause of Christ in that hospital and in the entire
metroplex area. I continue to be very touched by this
outpouring of love and also I am so overcome with joy
that this hospital has opened up their hearts and their
hallways to the Workers of Jesus Christ. Lord, I pray
for Chris Olsen, and for every person there, little
Dakota and all the others who are hearing and involved
in these nightly Prayers and Praises. May many be healed
and may all be touched by the love of our dear God Who
is in Christ Jesus. In His Name, Amen.
To all our Prayer Warriors, please keep up the 7:00
central time prayers each night that are sent up in
unison with the prayers of Chris' home church. God is
doing a good work and Chris is in the center of it. PRAY
FOR MIRACLES ...........PRAY HARD AND EXPECT IT TO
HAPPEN!
Karen
*************
This is from one of our young, very dedicated
Preacher/Father to be Prayer Warriors, Jeremy Blackwell.
He has some special prayer requests:
Both my step dad and bio father have surgery on Thursday
one is having
a stint put in his heart and my bio father is having
spinal surgery.
John Carter and Jerry Blackwell are there names. Will u
go to battle
for me :). I hear that you are the lady with the biggest
army equip for this
kind of war. With love.
Jeremy's Dad, Jerry Blackwell, and then his Stepdad,
John Carter are each having surgery tomorrow (Thursday).
Mr. Blackwell is having spinal surgery and Mr. Carter is
having a stint put in his heart. Then Jeremy asked me
this question:
Will you go to battle for me?? I hear that you are the
lady with the biggest army equipment for this kind of
war. Well, Jeremy, the answer is this: This battle is
not mine, BUT IT IS THE LORD'S AND IT IS VERY TRUE THAT
I AM PROUDLY A MEMBER OF THE BIGGEST ARMY FOR THIS KIND
OF WAR. FOR I AM A MEMBER OF THE LORD'S ARMY. We will be
honored to lift up these men in prayer on your behalf,
Jeremy. Thank you for bringing this prayer
request to us.
While we are here, we might as well mention that Jeremy
is married to Sarah, who is the daughter of Brian
Amerson, also of our Prayer Team. Jeremy and Sarah are
expecting their first baby in late December or January
(I think that is pretty close). Please remember them in
prayer as Jeremy has recently surrendered his life to
the ministry. Lift Jeremy and Sarah up in prayer both
for their ministry and the birth of their sweet baby.
Brian, Sarah's Dad, had some pretty heavy duty tests run
yesterday and on Friday this week, will be equipped with
a heart monitor that he will be carrying around with him
for about a month while it checks out some questions
about what is causing him to have some black outs. Brian
certainly needs our prayers and I ask that you all pray
that each of these men will get through their surgeries,
procedures and tests with victorious results.
Jeremy, again, thanks for letting us know about these
things and please keep us updated. Love to all of
you...Karen.

This wonderful email came to us from Brother Andrew, our
Partner in Prayer. Thanks to Brother Andrew and all the
World Healing Crusade for their wonderful prayer
support, love and help in all that we do. God has truly
blessed us with this group.
Tuesday, 03 November 2009
Dear Karen,
I received your email today and read the praise reports
and I thank God that our mutual prayers have been
answered. Of course we will offer healing intercessions
for the dear ones mentioned on your latest list. As you
rightly say, we have so much to thank God for, with God
nothing is impossible. I welcome your next email and we
will stand firm with you and support all those that are
referred to us. Bless you my special friend.
Yours sincerely,
Andrew
*********
From Beverly Lawyer, came this request for prayer:
Please pray for the son of our neighbor, Jeremy William
Brown, age 22, who was deployed to Afghanistan
yesterday. He is a young Marine and this is his first
tour.
Thank you, Beverly, we will sure remember this young
Marine and his family.
Our young people are giving their lives everyday for the
USA. As most of you know, my nephew, John Davidson just
returned home this past Sunday after a year there. We
praise God for returning him safely home to us. There
are Mom's and Dad's, Husbands and Wives, children,
brothers and sisters who are watching those they love
leaving their homes everyday, never knowing if they will
ever be able to hold their loved one or see them again.
As the war continues to rage on, it is so heartbreaking
to watch these families that continue to lose their
loved ones. Please pray that God will protect this dear
young man and his family as they face each day in the
months ahead with Jeremy away fighting in this war.
Please pray for his safe return back home.
*********
Please continue to pray for the healing of Karen Kelley.
She has a huge blister that has formed in the area of
the incision that she needs us to pray about. Please
pray that this does NOT turn into shingles, which would
be just the worst. She still needs our prayers so let us
all continue to stand in that gap for her. Please get
well soon, Little Sis...!
***********
Steve Politte is doing better but I know that he still
could use our prayers, as well. God bless you, Steve.
**********
I would like to tell you all that sometime this weekend,
I will either be forwarding to each of you or sending a
link to each of you which will bring with it the
blessing of a WEEKEND PRAYER, POETRY AND PRAISE SPECIAL
EDITION EFFORT FROM DOUG HOLT AND HIS WONDERFUL MINISTRY
GROUP. DOUG KINDLY INVITED THE MINISTRIES OF OPEN MY
EYES, LORD AND JOY IN THE MORNING MINISTRIES, ALONG WITH
BROTHER ANDREW AND THE WORLD HEALING CRUSADE TO
CONTRIBUTE OUR EFFORTS TO THIS WORSHIP EVENT.
I am very excited about what will be shared and
accomplished for God from this wonderful combined effort
put together by so many different ministries. Please
watch for this to be coming your way as you will not
want to miss what God has in store for all of you.
Let us Praise our God and be diligent on behalf of He
Who has given us the Ultimate Gift ...........Praise God
for our Savior, Jesus Christ. Let us all lift up the
prayers tonight. My love and sincere thanks to all of
you.

From Karen Bunker:
Good afternoon to all.......I hope
you are enjoying a wonderful day in the Lord.
I have received some very important
prayer requests and update, so, please listen as I
begin to share these with you.
I received this email a short time
ago from Bill Van Deren, one our very dedicated
prayer warriors. He needs our help and is asking
for prayer.........please read carefully:
Yesterday, I went to my family doctor regarding
a nagging cough that will not go away after
having recovered from a cold I had a few weeks
ago. My doctor recommended that I have a chest
x-ray completed as a part of the elimination
process for the cough. Late yesterday afternoon,
my doctor's office called me to say my x-ray has
been reviewed by my doctor, and he noticed three
or four small dark depression areas in my right
lung that has him concerned. Tomorrow at 8:30, I
am scheduled to have a CT scan of my right lung
completed to determine what those depression
areas are and if any further medical action will
be necessary. I ask for your prayers that the CT
scan of my right lung will be completed without
any complications and that the dark depression
areas in my right lung can be taken care of as
soon as possible.
Bill, we will begin right now to
pray for that testing to be done tomorrow morning at
8:30 a.m. I am very sorry to hear about this
problem but am very glad that it has been
discovered. Please keep us updated so that we can
continue to pray and praise accordingly. God bless
you, Bill. We will be lifting you up and expecting
GOOD NEWS to come from these tests.
Everyone, please pray hard for
Bill!!
Once again, I need to ask special
prayers for Karen Kelley. As feared, she now has,
(along with the blister that she told us about
yesterday in the area of the incision), a terrible
case of shingles on her hip and back side as well.
I know that she must be miserable, but you would
never know. She is amazing........PLEASE CONTINUE
TO PRAY FOR HER AND ASK GOD TO PLEASE ALLOW HER
TO GET WELL AND THAT NOTHING ELSE WILL CAUSE HER ANY
MORE PROBLEMS.
***********
Here is a delightful PRAISE AND
UPDATE FROM JESSICA WEAVER REGARDING THE TWINS,
BRITTNEY AND SHANA:
Little
baby Brittney was released from Cooks last week! She
is now home with her sister, Shana! Sorry it's taken
me so long to get this news to you. Thank you,
Prayer Warriors, for your determination. You were
all determined to bring this child home to her
family with your faith and endless prayers.
Well, once again, the Lord heard our prayers and
they were answered! Thank you, God! You are truly an
Awesome God! I have not seen the twins
since they've been reunited, but hope to visit them
soon. The proud grandfather, who I heard from
yesterday, said they are all doing fine. I have
attached a pic of the twins from their birthday.
Thanks again and God Bless you all!
(the baby wearing the lil hat is Brittney)
Shana

PRAISE GOD AND THANK YOU, JESSICA!
NOT ONLY DID YOU BRING US THESE BABIES TO PRAY FOR
BUT NOW THIS WONDERFUL MIRACLE THAT GOD HAS
PERFORMED BECOMES SUCH A BLESSING. THE PICTURE IS
BEAUTIFUL AND SUCH A JOY IT IS TO SEE THEM TOGETHER.
Thank you, Jessica. Thank you for
being so kind as to share this wonderful PRAISE WITH
US. GOD TRULY IS AWESOME!!! LORD, WE JUST
LIFT OUR PRAISES UP TO YOU TODAY FOR THE WONDERFUL
BLESSINGS YOU HAVE SEND US ALL IN ALLOWING LITTLE
BRITTNEY TO BE WELL ENOUGH TO BE HOME WITH HER
FAMILY. LORD, WE LOVE YOU AND WE TRULY GIVE YOU ALL
THE GLORY......IN JESUS NAME, AMEN!
Once again, Patty Bevelle, who has
become a very active participant on this prayer
group has brought us WONDERFUL PRAISES about the
things that are going on with Chris Olsen and the
many other people who are benefitting from the
services that are going on in ministering for
Chris. Please take time to read this report, once
again from Chris' church family. What a MIRACLE WE
ARE WITNESSING...............!!
Dear
Church,
Chris
had a good day yesterday, talking more often. He
continues to rest well with no pain meds.
Please
be encouraged, God is at work. I stopped by the cafe in
the lobby this morning and visited with the woman who
runs it. She asked me if I was with the group that sang
and prayed at night. She sat a table by the cafe and
listened last night. When I invited her to join us, she
said she had wondered if it would be alright. She told
me, "You are filling this place with light". Praise God,
he is making himself known.
One
of our students who has struggled through the grief of
losing dear loved ones this year, proclaimed God's
victory over death last night at F2F. She proclaimed
with authority that neither death nor life will be able
to separate us from the love of God. She went on to say
that death thinks it's all big and bad (modern day
language for "death be not proud") but it's not because
it has been conquered. Praise God!
I
didn't preach at F2F last night, the students did. They
were full of testimonies of what they have seen the Lord
doing and full of the word of God to stir our hearts to
grow in faith. And the Lord poured out his Spirit on us
in joy. Hope and joy are overwhelming suffering and pain
because God is so present with us.
Thank
you to the forty or so people who gathered at the
hospital to pray last night. The Lord brought more
people for them to minister to, including a 12 year old
boy who wanted to pray for his grandfather who was
having open heart surgery.
In
Him,
Diann
In this day and time in which
Christianity is so criticized and scorned for any
and everything that we try to do, is this not
wonderfully refreshing to read about how incredibly
this is going? Like Diann says, GOD IS AT WORK
HERE! What a wonderful and glorious report on Chris
and the improvements he is experiencing. What a
dedicated group of young people and adults who will
not give up, but continue to show up in numbers
every day and night to share their prayer, songs,
testimonies and Praise with any and all who are
there, but especially for Chris.
Patty, thank you for keeping us
updated about Chris. We are so overjoyed in hearing
about this wonderful combined effort on so many
levels for this very special ministry that has come
about.
To all the PRAYER WARRIORS, we ask
that you continue to pray for Chris and this mighty
group of Christian Soldiers that are armed with
God's Word and continue to carry it to Chris and all
those who are ill and in need of prayer. REMEMBER
THAT PRAYER CHANGES THINGS.........AND IT APPEARS TO
BE HAPPENING BY THE LOVE AND GRACE OF GOD AS HE
WORKS THROUGH THIS CHURCH GROUP.
MAY GOD CONTINUE TO GET ALL THE
PRAISE AND GLORY. PRAY FOR A COMPLETE MEDICAL
HEALING FOR CHRIS OLSEN.
We have been called for a wonderful
and very blessed ministry. The blessing and power
of prayer are phenominal and He is hearing our
petitions and sending wonderful blessings daily.
PRAISE GOD ABOVE FOR ALL HE IS DOING FOR THOSE THAT
WE PRAY FOR DAILY. GREAT IS HIS FAITHFULNESS.
God bless you all and thanks to each
of you who prays!
ONE MORE THING, I TALKED TO MY SON
CODY A WHILE AGO. HE IS VERY MUCH BETTER. THANK
YOU LORD, AND THANK YOU PRAYER WARRIORS FOR THIS
WONDERFUL NEWS TO THIS MOTHER.
ALSO, IF YOU WILL REMEMBER MY

MEDICAL ISSUES AND IS IN PAIN AT THIS TIME. I WOULD
APPRECIATE YOUR INTERVENTION.
Please pray for the complete healing of Jeff
Guest...Please ask God to send him a miracle.
God Bless You!!!
Please remember Maj. John S.
Davidson, USMC,(and all our troops) in your daily
prayers
as he serves this country in

Daniel 12:3 And they that be wise
shall shine as the brightness of the firmament;
and they that turn many to
righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

From Karen Bunker:
Good Morning, Prayer Warriors and beloved friends
and family. The Lord is still upon His Mighty Throne
this morning and prayer requests are still pouring
in. I want you thank each of you, and I know you
must get tired of hearing the same things all the
time, but YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH GOOD YOU DO FOR
PEOPLE.
Prayer is SUCH AN INCREDIBLE GIFT and God in all His
mercy and love continues to bless us all daily with
his healings and miracles. I got this prayer request
this morning sent from Jan Kennedy and that came to
her from a friend named Linda. Here is the need as
stated by Jan and Linda:
Jan, I have a big favor to ask of you...my best
friend's Momma was taken to the Hospital yesterday
afternoon and they told her that she wouldn't make
it through the night...well she is still with
us...her kidneys have shut down so I'm sure that is
why they say she won't make it much
longer...anyway...I was wondering if you could pray
for her and her family...I spent about six hours
with her until almost 1am this morning and she and
her other Sisters went home to get some rest...but
they are going back this afternoon...I'm sure
without her kidneys functioning she won't live much
longer...and they sure need lots of prayers!
Thanks hon...
Love,
Linda
_______________
Jan, thank you or sharing your friends need. We will
lift up these needs to God and pray that He will
give them all the strength they need to make it
through. If it is God's will, perhaps she can be
restored and I just pray for the family and all who
are going through this with her at this time. God
bless you for sending us this request.

This is an update on Andrew. I think I am right that
he was the one who fell out of the pick up truck a
while back. My dear friend, Linda Merrill, has sent
us this update on a recent surgery. Here is the
latest on Andrew and the miracles that God continues
to perform on him.
Here is the update:

Praise God! Andrew is out of surgery and in the
recovery room as I write this! He did remarkable
well in surgery and we can thank the doctors, nurses
and the entire surgical team for their knowledge and
expertise.
The bone fragment that the doctors saw on the 3D
bone scan a couple days ago was part or all (I am
not totally sure yet) of the missing piece of the
acetabulem. They were able to secure it with
hardware and once that was in place when they
attempted to flex Andrew's hip it stayed in place!
Another answered prayer! They did not have to place
a plate in the front of Andrew's pelvis as they had
previously talked about. It was stable enough
without it. I am so thankful for the medical and
surgical care Andrew has been receiving while at
Bethesda. You can only imagine the level of care a
patient receives in a facility such as this. They
are truly remarkable.
I believe God has listened to the prayers of each
and every one of you and the family and friends you
continue to share my prayer concerns with. From the
time of Andrew's accident he has been covered in
prayer. Throughout this entire time both Debi and I
have felt an overwhelming sense of peace because we
both know that just having Andrew by our side,
sitting in the same room, seeing his face, being
able to talk to him is nothing short of a miracle.
Please continue to pray for Andrew's recovery and
his upcoming mobility. I think he is coming up from
the recovery room so I am going to see my son!
God Bless you all!
Anne
Linda, please continue to update us as you can on
Andrew. God's blessings on all of these and for your
faithfulness to keep us updates. WE WILL CONTINUE TO
PRAY!

I have another PRAISE that I would love to share
with you before I get away from here for a bit and
that is this lovely announcement:
IT IS MY GREAT JOY TO ANNOUNCE TO EACH OF YOU THAT
JEFFREY PAUL GUEST AND DENISE ANN LANFORD WERE
UNITED IN MARRIAGE ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2009.
JEFF AND DENISE HAVE SUFFERED SO MUCH PHYSICAL AND
EMOTIONAL LOSSES IN THEIR LIVES. BUT THEY REMAINED
FAITHFUL TO GOD AND NEVER GAVE UP TRUSTING HIM.
THIS IS A TRUE LOVE STORY THAT WAS WRITTEN AND
BROUGHT INTO REALITY BY A GOD WHO LOVED HIS CHILDREN
AND SAW NO REASON WHY THEY SHOULD HAVE TO BE ALONE.
THE LOVE WAS BLESSED BY GOD AND SHARING THIS CAN
GIVE OTHERS WHO ARE ALONE THE "HOPE" THAT THEY, TOO,
WILL ONE DAY BE ABLE TO FIND SOMEONE WITH WHOM TO
SHARE THEIR LIFE AND THEIR JOY IN THE LORD.
CONGRATULATIONS AND GOD'S RICHEST BLESSINGS UPON MR.
AND MRS. JEFFREY PAUL GUEST. WE LOVE YOU
BOTH.........AND WE REJOICE IN THE WONDERFUL LOVE
YOU SHARE .
**********
That is all for now, prayer warriors! Thanks for
sharing and please know that all the blessings you
pray for others, are showered down on yourself as
well.
PRAISE GOD TODAY!
Love to all,
Karen

Please keep in your prayers the mother of my doctor
who has breast cancer and who will be operated on
next week, though she does have the kind that
surgery will be all she needs. Thank You.

From Karen Bunker:
Good Evening,
This is a prayer request from Bro. Phil Jones, who
goes to my church, Birchman Baptist Church in Fort
Worth, Texas. Please read about his very urgent
prayer request. Please bind together in prayer for
this family and especially for Neil. Please ask our
Lord to calm this family and that Neil will receive
the very best doctors and care at the hospital they
are taking him to. To God be all the glory. Thank
you for your faithfulness. Also, please pray that
they will get a prompt flight out tomorrow and be
given traveling mercies.
God bless you and your family, Brother Phil. We will
be praying for you.

Subject: Prayer for our grandson
Date: Nov 17, 2009 10:56 PM
I just got a call from our daughter in Athens that
they are taking our
oldest grandson, Neil, to Children's hospital in
Atlanta by ambulance.
Christy had called Gale earlier to say that Neil was
having abdominal
pain and they were taking him to the hospital where
her husband is a
Dr to be checked out.
They think that his intestine is "telescoping" on
itself. We are
checking on flights for Gale to go on and fly to
Athens tomorrow.
We would be grateful for your prayer support.

Good Evening Prayer Warriors,
Hope you have had a good day. I got a message this
afternoon from Chee. Please read this prayer request
from her friend below:
Date: Nov 19, 2009 6:40 PM
Karen, I just got this e-mail from a friend and was
wondering if you could include this on your prayer
list!! Would very much appreciate it!!! Thanks
sweetie!!!
You getting the hang of that new computer yet? :-)
Hugs ~ Chee :-)
Chee, who do we contact for prayer? My youngest son
just called and told me he had to take my eldest to
the ER. His platelets have dropped to 3000. Normal
count is 350000! They think it may be infection or
Lupus. He was on Sulfa Drugs for an infection in one
of his toes. I'm allergic to Sulfa, so he may be
too.
Just put him on your prayer list and contact whom
ever, please?
LuvU!
Lynn
We will be in prayer for this young man, Chee.
Thanks for sending this to us. BTW, Chee, I am
getting there with the new computer. I know one
thing.............it is SUPER FAST and I love it. I
am determined to learn the differences and I just
love it.
Love ya,
Karen
************
Please pray for Chee Chee's friend's son. It
certainly sounds like he needs sincere prayers.
Thanks and God bless you all,
Karen
