Father, your Word says in James 5:16 that we are to "pray one for another." Therefore, we come before you believing that You hear our prayers, that You are in control, and that we can trust you with the answers. We now bring before you, the following: NEW PRAYER REQUESTS ** URGENT: Pray for Nathan B., age 1, who has been vomiting for two weeks. Tests ordered by his pediatrician and a pediatric surgeon thus far have been inconclusive. He is scheduled for an ultrasound on Monday, January 31. Pray that the Lord will give the doctors the skill to diagnose the problem and be able to treat it. Also, pray for his parents and brother Caleb at this stressful time. ** Pray for Susan T.'s mother, age 79, who fell and broke her arm in August 2010, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease soon afterward, and recently fell and broke her hip. Because of her frail condition, surgery is not possible. She is now home under Hospice care. Please pray for her comfort, for peace as her life on this earth draws to a close, and for Susan and her husband who are both facing their own health issues. Also, pray for Susan's father, who is legally blind, as he prepares for life without his wife of 54 years. ** Pray for Richard C., who has had two surgeries for brain cancer in the past year, as well as bladder cancer. A recent brain scan showed "bumps" at the sight where a large portion of the left parietal lobe was removed. Pray that he will remain turmo-free, and the the bumps are a healthy byproduct of the brain's attempt to heal from the surgery. ** Pray for the following GMBA requests and upcoming events: REQUESTS: for Raymond Dewan as he works with a group of refugees from Nepal to start a church in Winnoski; for Lyandon Warren as he seeks to start a new church in Poultney; for Brian Conyers as he seeks to start a new church in Waterbury; for Kevin Pounds as he seeks to start a new church in Burlington; for Peter and Pauline Grimes as they work in the Willow Creak Housing Complex to start a church; for Faith Community Church in Barre as it seeks two interns for their church planting efforts; for Washington Baptist Church as they seek a new pastor; EVENTS: Vacation Bible School Training at the Newbury Bible Church, Newbury, VT, March 26, 2011; GMBA Semi-Annual Meeting, New Covenant Baptist Church, South Burlington, Vermont, May 21, 2011. ** Pray for the ministry of Compassion International, for all the children and families they help, and for their staff and sponsors.
