From Margie:
If you can also put my son Edward Garza
Jr. in your prayers. He is going to College in San
Antonio, Texas at the University of Incarnate Word. He
is just getting adjusted to the school, new city, and
the people there. No friends of his attending this
school with him. So he is all by himself. He is
struggling in his work due to staying up at night crying
because he feels lonely. He started to work and now
seems he is doing much better. I pray that he can be
able to succeed in his education. "His school work."
At this moment he is having trouble in his math
classes. For some reason he does well in his homework
but when it comes to his math test he can't pass it. I
ask for your prayer to help him look for God and and may
get comfortable enough to be able to pass his classes
******************************
From Karen Bunker:
Good Morning and God bless each of you in this new day.
I got some updates and prayer requests late last
evening. Please take time to think on these and pray for
each one according to their need. You will be blessed.

From my neighbors, The Garbers, regarding their niece,
Samantha who had open heart surgery last week:
Hi Karen,
Wanted to let you know that Samantha went home today!
She's doing quite well. Thanks so much for the prayers.
We will be praising God along with you for this
wonderful blessing. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Love to all
*************
Dawn Gwin, our dear NetHugs inspiration, went to a new
doctor yesterday, I believe. Her throat situation is not
any better. The truth is that she continues to be ill
and no one can seem to diagnose this thing. The new
doctor is a specialist. Please let us pray that our
Lord, will endow this man with the knowledge and
guidance he needs from above to diagnose this problem
and that the Lord will use him to defeat this terrible
illness.
Dawn, we love you and pray that you will soon be well.
*************
My other neighbor, Barbara Hester, is fighting a sinus
infection that is getting her down pretty badly. Please
pray that she, too, will get the help she needs with
this battle she has going on.
In fact, there are several others who are all fighting
the same type of bug that I will go ahead and mention
here that we need to pray for:
Bill Van Deren - just getting over the flu and terrible
cold.
Earl Clark - has been sick for about a week with flu and
cold symptoms.
Heather Thomas - has been having bad headaches and
allergies.
___________
Kay Davis continues to try her best to be patient and
wait upon the Lord to help her find much needed housing
and some place to live. She is filled with faith that
the Lord will open something for her. The problem is
that everywhere she goes, the waiting list is months
long.
To review, she lives in Tucson Arizona and her monthly
income of social security only is below poverty level.
She has very little to live on each month, after paying
rent and other expenses that we not incurred by her but
have fallen upon her to pay. We MUST PRAY FOR GOD'S
INTERVENTION and hopefully it will be very soon. She
needs help.
Please pray, Team! Thank you all who pray. God bless
you, Kay!
***********
Our beloved Steve Politte, continues to have health
issues that plague him. Please remember him as he is
trying to get well, but he is still struggling. Pray
that our Lord will lift him up and heal him completely.
**********
Karen Kelley and husband Terry are out of town for a few
days mixing business with some R&R before her upcoming
hip replacement surgery. It has not been very long since
her back surgery and it seems too soon for her to have
to be going through something like this.
Please pray that Karen and Terry will have a safe trip
and that God will help Karen one more time to get
through this awful time of one thing right after
another. Please pray that God will have mercy on her and
allow her to be healed from this terrible plague of
illnesses that continue to consume her. She never
complains but just praises God for his love. She
continues to pray for others and remains so selfless.
Please lift her up and pray that she will be strong and
in good health otherwise, in order to get through this
surgery.
Love you, my sister, get well.......I miss you!

My dear nephew, Shaun Fagan, continues to be sick with
the flu on top of his injuries that are still giving him
so much pain from his construction accident a few weeks
ago. We talked at length Monday and Shaun is a wonderful
young man who wants to serve his Lord and leans on Him
completely.
It looks like he will have some more financial help
coming his way soon, which I ask you to please pray
about. Shaun feels that God is calling him to a very
important work and I know that he wants so badly to
fulfill this calling. Please pray with him that the Lord
will give him the guidance he needs about this and also
the strength he needs to follow His lead. I ask that you
please pray for complete healing for Shaun and remember
his family also at this time. This has been hard on all
of them
Love you, Shaun......
************
I have not heard from Karrie Cook since week before
last. If nothing has upset her schedule, she should be
half way thru her 5th week of radiation treatments at
this point today which will leave only two more after
this week. I know that she is getting tired of all the
traveling back and forth to Houston. This is very hard
on her when she has to leave her two little girls behind
every week to go have these treatments done. But, God
has allowed her husband and mother to help make sure
that the children are well loved and they are fine.
Please say extra prayers for Karrie. She still has a
ways to go and she has already been on this road a long
time. Please pray for complete healing and no problems
or complications of any type.
Love you, Karrie.........
***********
Our other little breast cancer patient, Patty Bevelle,
who one week ago today had surgery
is doing GREAT. She got her drains out yesterday and she
is feeling wonderful about that. Today she goes back to
her surgeon. She should find out the results of her
biopsies and labs from her surgery today. This can be
somewhat unsettling so please pray that her miracle will
be revealed and there will be no aftercare needed for
Patty!
I love you, Patty! We are sending up the prayers today!
***********
I got a sweet email from Linda Buhl and she and Skip
have been down with colds. Skip seems to have gotten
better, but Linda had just been to the doctor and got a
shot and some new medication that was supposed to really
help her feel better fast.
Please pray that she WILL respond quickly to this new
treatment and be well again soon. Skip and Linda have a
long road ahead, but they are filled up with faith and
are thankful for your prayers.
PLEASE MAKE THEM A PART OF YOUR DAILY PRAYERS. Our love
goes out to you both, Skip and Linda.
***********
My niece, Carie Davidson and her daughter, Cadence, will
be leaving on Friday to go back home to Hawaii after
about a month here with us all. What a joy it was to
have them here and see their beautiful faces. Please
pray with me that they will have a safe trip back home
with no problems or delays of any kind.
Also, remember their husband and "Daddy", John Davidson
in your prayers. He does not have much longer on this
deployment and we are all very anxious about him getting
back home without any delays. Please pray that he will
be home on schedule and back with his beloved family. We
will ALL BE PRAYING FOR THIS PRECIOUS FAMILY.
Thank you, Carie, Joyce and Cadence for such a lovely
birthday.........and thank you, too, John. My love to
all of you!
**********
I hope to be discussing with all of you a new and,
hopefully, easier and more convenient way for all of us
with regard to posting the prayer requests. I am hoping
that this will be less invasive and a much simpler way
of handling the need. Please pray for me as I seek the
Lord's help in getting this set up.
God bless you, PRAYER WARRIORS. You are God's chosen.
You are God's servants. You are God's
BEST...........THANK YOU AND STAY WELL..........KEEP
PRAYING.
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.
My love and appreciation to all,

From Wanda:
I am requesting prayer for my great niece
Daphne Faye Park. She was born the first week of
September. She only has 2 chambers in her heart. She has
already had one open heart surgery. Soon she will
require abdominal surgery because her stomach is
backwards to how it should be. Please also remember her
parents. As I read the prayers on your site it seems my
needs pale in comparison but I also ask prayer for
myself. I had breast cancer 2 years ago and KNEW the
power of our LORD. I have been sicker over the past
three months and really am unsure what to do. I know
that God has the answers I seek. Thank you.

Deacon Steve:
Please keep Karen Bunker in your prayers
as she is suffering from the flu and is allergic to
antibiotics, so she can't take any.
Also for Karen Kelley who continues to
suffer from many health issues.
For Doug Holt, who is also suffering from
excruciating arthritis pain through his body.
And please keep Jeffrey Paul Guest in
your prayers as he is also suffering.
Thank you. Steve

From Karen Bunker (for yesterday)
I got a very important prayer request early this morning
from my daughter-in-law's (Mary's) sister, Jessica.
Please read what Jessica sent below regarding the
newborn baby girl twins of her dear friend:
Hello Karen! Will you please forward this message out to
our prayer team. You may send it 'as is' if that's
easier for you! Thank You!
Beloved Prayer Warriors,
I am requesting a moment of your time to please pray
with all your might for Brittney and Shana. These
precious little girls arrived into our world on October
9th, 6 weeks too soon. Brittney weighed 4lbs3oz and
Shana 4lbs5oz. So tiny. Brittney was really having a
hard time breathing on her own and she had to be
transported to Cooks Children Hospital for further
assistance. Please pray that lil Brittney's lungs will
grow strong enough to let her breathe on her own. She is
away from her twin sister, and being a mother of twins
myself, I know how important it is for the two of them
to be reunited. Shana is doing wonderful, for being a
premie, and we ask that you pray for her to continue to
grow stronger by the minute. We also ask that you pray
for a speedy recovery for the Mom, my dear friend Megan
Medina. Twins are amazing to have but definitely a lot
of work. God bless Megan with the strength, patience,
and love needed for the care of these darling lil angels
sent to her from up above. May she be surrounded by an
abundance of family and friends that will support and
help her through this beautiful journey. I have some
great pics of these baby girls, but I need to ask the
Mom permission to share them with you. Thank you for
your time. God bless each and every one of you always!
Love, Jessica Weaver
As Jessica reported, she is the mother of twin boys and
she knows what it takes to be in a position of
responsibility and how much love you have for them. She
is the perfect example of that type of mother. God knows
who to give them to. Her twins are 10, I believe and she
now has another baby boy who will be two in November.
She is very concerned for these babies and for the
mother, of course. Please pray for them diligently and
ask God to hold these little ones in His arms and bless
them both with no more complications.
Thank you, Jessica for the prayer request. Please let us
know of any changes. God bless you all.
Love,
Karen

Today is the Ladies Conference at the FBC of Dennis
Texas. We will be leaving in about 1-1/2 hours from now.
Please pray that it will be a blessing to all in
attendance and if there are souls that need the Lord,
that they will not leave that place without making
things right with their Savior.
God bless you all. Thank you for your
faithfulness............God bless you all today and
please don't forget to 'PRAISE THE LORD'........!
Love to all,
Karen

October 12th, 2009
From Karen Bunker:
Good Morning to all,
This was an unusual weekend, but I was blessed by a
wonderful Ladies Conference on Saturday. Thanks to all
of you who prayed for us because I don't know that I
have ever been more blessed. The Holy Spirit was there
and we were all glad we came.
The rest of the weekend was filled with upset and
turmoil in the lives of people that I talked to. There
is illness, broken hearts, so much stress and anger,
along with families in distress and fear of lost jobs,
health issues, including cancer, swine flu and endless
other things.
Out of it all, on this cold rainy Monday morning, comes
this lovely blessing from the wife of one our most ill
prayer recipients. This is from Linda Buhl, whose
husband, Skip, has Pulmonary Fibrosis. He is sure to be
placed on a lung transplant list within the next year.
Please read this beautifully written update from Linda.
I wonder who is serving who here:
Good (cold and rainy!) Monday morning! Just finished our
bible and devotional reading - from Our Daily Bread I
liked very much the prayer at the end of today's writing
"Father, thank You that in every trial, challenge, and
difficulty, You are behind the scenes working things out
for our good. Help us to see Your hand in everything.
Amen."
Certainly we don't have to be thankful for the dreadful
disease and financial stresses but we can be thankful IN
the midst of it because we know who controls our lives.
This afternoon - Skip's appointment with pulmonologist
is at 3:05 (now really - does anyone think a doctor
keeps appointments which are that precise? oh well) We
are hoping for some direction, indications of how Skip
is progressing and what next.
Probability of H1N1 vaccine arriving this week so hoping
he can get that taken care of. Odd how for at least 10
years neither of us has even taken the regular seasonal
flu vaccines - now we are signing up for whatever
they'll give us. I apparently have to also be immunized
so I won't infect Skip if I'm exposed.
Still applying for jobs at hospitals (no go on
application for group policy through national
association of realtors - still wouldn't cover Skip for
anything related to the PF for one year). BUT God has
never let us down - He alone is faithful and provides
for us wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ! Thank
you so much for your care and concern - we've been
praying for the little twins - that their lungs are
being filled with the breath of life. Hope you and your
Joy in the Morning prayer warriors are all experiencing
better health this week!
I am rambling - time to get outside and tend our poor
rain drenched animals. Need to sell off some goats but
that job keeps getting put on back burner - soon - whole
comment makes me think of the verses about how we aren't
to say this time next year I'll go here and do this -
instead we are to think Lord willing - we will do this
or that - so that is how I'll close - Lord willing - we
will sell off some goats and our financial burdens will
be relaxed soon.
Safe from storms,
Linda Sue and Skip
God has not promised to keep us from life’s storms, but
He will keep us through them.
**********
How many of us would wake up with an attitude such as
this if we had Life's Storms that were as great as the
ones they have. I know that there are many of you that
DO have storms and trials very close to being as great
as these and you, too have the faith and courage, along
with the trust in God alone to get you through.
If we could all, no matter how great our trials or
afflictions might be, would just reach out to someone
who also needs help, it will help us all to realize that
when we help others, we help ourselves. Our friends,
Skip and Linda are doing just that. They are praying for
the newborn twins of Jessica Weaver's friend Megan. One
of these precious little girls is having breathing
difficulties. They are reaching out, in their own pain,
and praying for others. GOD BLESS YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS
SELFLESS ACT.
Please remember SKip and Linda today as they go to the
doctor. Please pray that they will be given good reports
and a plan of action that will go hand in hand with that
of our Lord God, to bring this over the mountains that
lie ahead.
Linda and Skip, you are both my heroes. God WILL bless
you both, because you are both winners. Prayer warriors,
let us get busy today on this need and pray throughout
this day that the news will reflect the prayers and the
power it possesses.
Praise God above, for it is He and He alone who makes
these requests come true.
Please remember the twins also and send up extra prayers
for them.
God bless you all today and please don't forget to
PRAISE THE LORD!
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

brightness of the firmament;
and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars

Good Afternoon.........
I have some very important prayer requests. This first
one is from my friend, Pat Lilly regarding her grandbaby
Kaiah. Please read:

said Swine Flu---but prescribed 6 meds including Tamaflu---which
is the one they are using to treat the Swine---She is
vomiting and listless. Her fever is spiking but
controllable. Please put her on your prayer list.
thanks, my love Pat
This baby needs our prayers very badly. Please put her
on your list immediately and I will advise you of any
further news.
Also this came from Brian Amerson regarding Donna
Schoonover who is the Asst Principal at the school where
he teaches. She is at this moment in the ER and has

Special Prayer Request for Nick Doize at MD Anderson
Hospital in Houston , TX
I am starting a Prayer Signing for my girlfriend's son
who is fighting A.L.L. (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia).
Nick Doize, 16, has been fighting this insidious disease
for more than 3-1/2 years. He is a student at Taylor
High School in Katy , TX , but has been homebound for
most of his high school years. He is one heck of a
fighter and remains positive, despite everything he has
endured.
This young man needs all the prayers he can get, because
he is trying so hard to take the pain like a man, even
though it is excruciating. GOAL: 1000 + prayers /
signatures from all over the country/world, so please
sign(type) your name at the bottom of list below, say a
prayer, and pass it on to as many people as you trust to
forward this on. Once the list reaches a thousand
people, please send
this back to me at:
jeaniemarkel@yahoo.com
mailto:jeaniemarkel@yahoo.com
When I get to 1000, I am going to print it, & email it
to his parents & him, so that he can see how many people
care and have prayed for him to get better. If you have
a heart at all, you will all do this as a disciple of
God. I love this kid and believe the best way for us to
help him heal is to do as Christ taught us --- Have
Faith, Ask, and It shall be Given unto You.
Blessings to you all for your prayers.

From Raven:
Raven, is the daughter of wonderful friend of mine and
many. Her mom Holly makes my scripture tags.
I will put a sample. This is her request:
I hate to do this behind mom's back but
she is in bad shape and with no insurance. She spends
most of her time now in bed with really bad burning leg
pain. She is suffering from neuropathy and diabetes.
This came upon her quickly and she has lost 80 lbs as
well as a lot of muscle mass. She is in a very bad way
and like I said, she has no insurance to help her pay
the bills and she is not old enough for ss yet. So if
there is anyway any of her friends out there can help
out and make donations to her for her health cost it
would be appreciated. My husband and I can only help out
in small ways since I am also diabetic and am on a
transplant list for a kidney and pancreas, thank God I
have insurance through my husband's work or we would
also be in this same boat. Please help mom anyone who
can with any size contributions to her paypal @
zebrariver@gmail.com
or by direct mail. If you need an
address to send it direct mail please feel free to write
to me and I will send it onto you. Thanks so much for
being there for my mom in her time of need, and for
being such wonderful friends to her through the years.
Much love to all,
This
is one of Holly's tags.

From Karen Bunker:
Dear Prayer Warriors,
Our dear Katie Parker lost her half sister today and has
just asked us to remember them in prayer........here is
here heartfelt email:
Dear Karen,
I would appreciate prayers as I just found out my half
sister died this morning. Sherry suffered with a
degenerative joint disease that caused her to have
countless surgeries, and has been in so much pain the
last few years that they had to install a pain pump to
help her control it. She also suffered with congestive
heart failure, something I was not aware of until her
husband told me over the phone. Sherry always had a
sweet spirit, and thanked God for it everyday despite
all her suffering. I admired her always. I would really
appreciate prayers for her husband as well as he is
completely devastated by Sherry's passing. I am thankful
knowing she isn't suffering anymore, but it is still
painful. Sherry was a wonderful lady.
Thank you so much Prayer Warriors for your prayers. And
thank you too Karen for your devotion to this ministry.
God bless you!!!!
Love,
Katie
God bless you and your family in the loss that has been
suffered. Please let us know if there is anything more
that you need. Our hearts and our prayers go out to you.
Thank you for sharing this with us. We will be lifting
you up!
************
I had a wonderful email from Linda and Skip Buhl on
Friday last week. I hope to share it extensively with
all of you tomorrow. Please remember them in your
prayers. They are doing well, but they are amazing
people. Sometimes, I wonder who is being ministered to,
them .........or ME!!
God bless the Buhl family. Lord, thank you for this
wonderful group who prays for those in need so freely.
There are so many who are suffering and I pray and ask
that you will just reach out to each and everyone
according to their need tonight. We will truly give You
the praise, Lord. Help us to remember to always honor
and glorify You!
Please pray for the complete healing of Jeff
Guest...Please ask God to send him a miracle.

From Karen Bunker: Whole Days List
This is a special prayer request for my dear friend,
Patty Bevelle's little dog, Morey. She has been sick
since Saturday and can't keep anything on her stomach.
She only weighs 4 pounds so she doesn't have a lot to go
on.
Patty is taking Morey to the vet this morning. Please
pray that Morey will come through this. Patty, like all
of us, loves her baby so much. She is around 10 years
old. Please pray for Morey. She is taking her to the vet
in about 45 minutes.
I wanted to get this request out quickly so we could all
pray for her. I WILL BE SENDING OUT MORE PRAYER REQUESTS
SOON.
Thank you so much and God bless you all. Love you,
Patty.......we are praying.
Good Afternoon! I want to take time to apologize to each
of you for being delayed in getting some of these to
you. I was ill all day yesterday and, even though I am
feeling better today, it has taken its' toll on me once
again. I think I just need to get more sleep and try to
relax a little more often. I am sure that ALL of you
know what I mean.
Ok, Here we go...........!!
-------Original Message-------
This prayer request comes to us from Doug Holt, who is a
dear friend in the Lord's Service in the U. K. It came
to him from some very dear friends of his, the White
Family. This is especially sad, so please remember them
in prayer. This was written to Doug by Raymond and
Christine White regarding David and Ruth Paul Please
read the account below of what has happened:
To: Doug Holt
Subject: David and Ruth Paul
David And Ruth Paul Are friends of ours from church..
David and Ruth's son, Joe, was drowned in a swimming
accident in Turkey three days ago. His wife, who is also
named Jo, was rescued.
We visited David and Ruth yesterday after Church. It was
wonderful to see them .
They were so positive and said it was all part of God's
plan and that they were not bitter.
Joe's wife said the last thing she heard was Joe's
prayers to God and that he sounded very peaceful.
He was a fine Christian and is now with his Lord.
The White family asks that we all remember Joe's wife
and his Mom and Dad as they make this very heartbreaking
transition.
Thank you, Doug. We will lift this family and all of you
up to the Lord!
***************
As you know, we have all been praying for our friend,
Dawn Gwin for weeks now. Dawn has a very important
doctor's appointment tomorrow. She will be going to a
specialist who deals with the kinds of problems that
Dawn has had. She has had a throat infection and it has
been so painful and really has made her very ill.
Tomorrow, she is probably going to have a scope put down
her throat and and into her esophagus. She is NOT
looking forward to this procedure. But, her faith never
falters. She trusts in God totally.
This is my request for Dawn. Please pray that the God of
the Universe will give her His precious peace. Please
pray that God will please give this doctor the right
answers and that her condition will be treatable and
that she will be 100% healed. Dawn Gwin is a very
special lady and at this time in history, we need to
have more people like her who will give their ALL to God
no matter what kind of suffering they are going through.
Please start now and pray each and every time you think
of it, that God will reach down in His loving and gentle
Way and heal her body fully and completely. I KNOW God
loves Dawn and I also know that we love her too. I am
going to be asking God for a miracle. She deserves it so
much. Pray the rest of today and tonight and especially
tomorrow, that God will have mercy on her and that all
will turn out good for Dawn.
Dawn, we love you, ........... ALL OF US !! We will be
praying nonstop and we are thankful to have a wonderful
God and Savior Who will listen and answer our prayers.
Lord God, we praise You and give You all the Honor for
the answers that are coming and for the miracle that You
are preparing for Dawn. In Jesus Name, Amen.

OUR FRIEND, JOAN, HAS A PRAISE AND AN UPDATE ON HER SON,
JOHN, WHO HAS LEUKEMIA:
This is to let you know that my son, John Nelson, is
home from the hospital, though he is still going for
therapy. I know that all the prayers is what saw him
through this ordeal with the leukemia. Thank you.
AND SOME PRAYERS REQUESTED FOR HERSELF:
I would like to request prayers for myself, as my
diabetics is getting out-of-hand and had experienced
some low blood sugar levels. Also, affecting my eyes and
legs. I am going to seek other medical advice from
another doctor that a nurse who I met at our church,
recommended. He is a Christian minister, too, I
understand, and someone whom I can talk to with my
concerns.
Joan shares some church changes: It was with heavy heart
that our Pastor resigned several weeks ago from the
church I use to go to, but he started up his own church
in a building he has leased. Karen, there is so much
fellowship from this group that followed him and with
the second service being conducted yesterday morning, I
was truly uplifted and inspired. It was a move that
could only have been God guided. Praise the Lord!
Truly I feel this has been a time of miracles and I know
prayer is the answer.
In His Light and Love,
Joan
Dearest Joan, We are so pleased to hear that John is
strengthening and that God has heard the prayers of so
many. We will continue to remember him.
I am also thankful to hear about your new church. That
is always a hard decision, but there are unexpected
blessings to be found if we just seek after the Lord. It
sounds like you have just found one. We praise God for
that.
Now, about you, my goodness. It sounds like we need to
turn our thoughts and prayers upon you, dear sister in
Christ. You have quite a bit going on. We will lift you
up and truly tonight I know the Lord will hear us pray
good things on your behalf. God bless you, Joan, and
please stay in touch with us and let us know how things
are going.
Much love. It was good to hear from you!

This report comes from my friend Linda Merrill in the
DA's office of Tarrant County, TX. She and I used to
work side by side. She is a hard worker and I was
blessed to have her as my partner. She has a very
serious prayer request. Please read it just like she
wrote it:
John is a 10 year old boy, with a bone infection in his
hip. He has had 3 or 4 surgeries in the last couple
weeks and he is doing better now, but has a long way to
go. He has 2 younger brothers, so you can imagine that
his parents are probably exhausted being at the hospital
caring for John and everything that he is going thru;
along with caring for his younger brothers. Please keep
John and his family in your prayers. John’s family lives
in Houston and are close friends w/my friend Michele.
Thank you
Thank you, Linda. We will be praying for this family and
especially John. Please let us know of any updates about
him.
**********
My dear friends, Denise and Jeff Guest are both feeling
like they are trying to come down with the crud. They've
had fever and some temp for a few days. Please pray that
they will not get down with this awful flu or whatever
it is. These are two of our most faithful prayer
warriors.
**********
My precious friend (and sister of my heart) Karen Kelly
is back home after being gone for 2 weeks. She was
sorely missed. Now she is facing, in a week or so, that
awful hip replacement surgery. Please pray hard for
Karen. She has had just an awful year. She is a trooper
though. She never gives up and she is one of our
greatest prayer warriors we have. Please remember her as
she once again prepares for a really BIG surgery.
Love you, Karen!
*********
Also, Steve Politte still needs
our prayers. He has some tests this week and will not be
available to receive emails until further notice, except
for Guest Book Comments. So, if you read this,
please hold all emails. Thank you sincerely.
STEVE!!

AND FINALLY, I AM SO THANKFUL TO REPORT THAT MY SWEET
PATTY'S BABY DOGGIE, MOREY, IS MUCH BETTER TONIGHT. DID

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,

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!

improvement and PRAISE OUR GOD FOR HER HEALING. Please

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.

WE ARE SO THANKFUL TO HAVE JOHN BACK WITH HIS GIRLS,

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.

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!

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
HUSBAND, MICHAEL, IN PRAYER. HE HAS NUMEROUS
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
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.
