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!!!

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!!!

Good Afternoon.........

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

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.

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!!

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

THE WORLD HEALING CRUSADE .......these groups are comprised of Christians who believe in the healing power of prayer and are from the Dallas/Fort Worth area + all points throughout the U. S. and also our wonderful prayer partners of the World Healing Crusade in the U. K.

Let's lift up Chris and God WILL DO THE REST!!! WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!!! Matthew 19:26

*************

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 THREE!!

***********

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 THANK GOD FOR TONIGHT! GOD IS SO GOOD..........LORD WE PRAISE YOU FOR YOUR MERCY AND YOUR GRACE AND WE TRULY THANK YOU FOR ALL THE BLESSINGS FALLING FROM HEAVEN. 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.

LORD WE HUMBLY ASK YOU TO BLESS EACH ONE AS YOU KNOW EACH NEED AND LORD, HELP US TO BE FAITHFUL TO PRAY WITHOUT CEASING AND TO ALWAYS GIVE YOU THE GLORY. IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.

Love to all !!!

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.

Karen

From Karen Bunker:

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
