I will surely not stop praying for you, because that would be sinning against the LORD. I will teach you what is good and right. You must honor the LORD and truly serve him with all your heart. Remember the wonderful things he did for you! - 1 Samuel 12:23-24

Sick Missionaries!!
Hi there!
Stan and Sandy Anonby have the flu. It's pretty bad, with fever, chills, and fatigue. It seems like most of the missionaires and folk in Vianopolis, Brazil, are under the weather. It's been lasting about a week. Thank you for praying for us, as our nerves are frayed.
Please pray for Jillian, our 20-year-old daughter in Victoria, Canada. She's attending university there and she'd like to meet some Christian friends her own age. She's lonely.

Yesterday I challenged us to pray about ways we can be radically generous. I hope we're all doing just that - seeking God's direction in how we can do a God-sized thing right now to meet someone else's need.
Therefore, make it your habit to confess your sins to one another and to pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. - James 5:16

I can't imagine, but I can pray
In church this morning I asked you to pray for the family of a 13 year old girl named Chelsea. About 3:30 this morning Chelsea, whose family had just arrived yesterday for a week of vacation, went into cardiac arrest and by the time the first responders arrived had slipped into eternity.
I was called by Dare Co. Communications and asked to respond to Outer Banks Hospital. There I met a family in disbelief that such a thing could happen, but with a belief that God is in control. We prayed; quoted Scripture and I watched them grieve over the body of their daughter, sister and cousin.
Not only can you pray for them, but these kinds of emergency calls are tough on the first responders (in this case the Kitty Hawk Fire Dept., Police and Dare Co. EMS) and the emergency room staff. The death of a child hits them hard. And as many times as they have to deal with these kinds of things doesn't make it any easier.

Today is Sunday. Be sure to pray for our worship together to honor Him and for our willingness to open our hearts up to acting upon His Word.
So many give of themselves every Sunday in service to the rest of us. Pray for their ministry today to rise to a higher level than ever before.
Is anyone of you sick? He should call for the elders of the church, and they should pray for him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith£ will save the person who is sick. The Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven. - James 5:14-15

Since everything God created is good, we should not reject any of it. We may receive it gladly, with thankful hearts. For we know it is made holy by the word of God and prayer. - 1 Timothy 4:4-5

Two Updates: Greg, Mike and Dale
I just received a call from Greg Avery in Baytown, TX. Yesterday they fed 35,000 and are providing food for other kitchens that aren't able to get food any other way. He's physically wiped out, living on 3 hours of sleep/day. The good news is that he's headed home tomorrow. Pray for a safe trip for him. He'll be driving the 1400 miles.
Mike is working very hard there as well. He's cooking and training others to do the same. Another 175 volunteers are coming in today. Mike should be flying home Sunday.
Dale Hamilton and his batallion leave for Iraq on Sunday. Nancy emailed this to me:
Would you mind posting a reminder to pray for Dale and all the soldiers? Also please pray for Emily, on the outside she is fine, but on the inside she is having a very hard time with all of this. I know that Sunday will be a very hard day for all of us...it might even be a bit tearful.
