Prayer Requests

Michelle wrote: Could you please pray for my mother, "Darlene"? She had a stroke 7 yrs ago, she is half paralyzed and can't speak; she loves the Lord just like me, but last night when I saw her she was crying. I accept her anyway; I just hate to see her cry. I was hugging her telling her that I love her but she was still sad. She was in a nursing home in Charlottesville, VA for 7 yrs called Heritage Hall; they were abusing her, the hospital determined, so she's been in this new nursing home about 4 months. Please can you keep my mother Dalene in your prayers? She is only 53 yrs old. Please. Sincerely Darlene's daughter, Michelle Young, Woodbridge VA June Garcia wrote: Hi. I'm needing prayer for my family and myself; I feel that I'm missing something in my life and it is really bothering me because I know what it is. Jay Tucker wrote: Please pray for my Wife. Kerry Tucker. She has left me and my children: Christian 4yrs and Cody 1 1/2 yrs in favor of pot, drinking and prescription drugs and adultery. My family and friends are angry with me for continuing to love her. I believe in the power of prayer through the Lord God in Heaven and submit my family to him to restore us and her. Her name is Kerry Tucker, please pray for us, I am begging you. I Love You all....Jay Tucker Ronnie wrote: Would you please pray for my wife, children and myself.

Ronnie Susan wrote: I have just learned that my friend Patty lost her husband Sunday, January 28. It seems that he had a heart attack and died in her arms. The next day the stress and shock of his death was too much for her to handle and she herself had a heart attack and now is in critical condition at a local hospital. Patty is undergoing surgery to restore partial heart function even as I am writing this. I don't believe that Patty has any religious affiliation and I know she has no money she is a waitress and has struggled to make ends meet as long as I have known her. Please Offer Up Prayers for her and her family as I know this is terribly hard on them. Patty has a 17 year old son and a 15 year old daughter who just had a baby in November. I am quite sure that they cannot survive without Patty. If anyone would like to offer financial support you may do so by contacting me at my above email address. Prayers are most important and that she come to know God in her life. Thank you for ! your support.

They will make excellent parents. Thank you and God bless! Lisa wrote: I desperately need your prayers. I have so many different things going on in my life right now. I don't know where to begin. First, my 10 year old step-daughter decided she didn't want to live by rules anymore so she moved out and now she won't even speak to me. I haven't seen or spoken to her now in over a month. I love her so much. I have raised her since she was just a tiny baby. Second, my father started a fight with me and did and said a lot of things that I just can't seem to get over, so now we are not speaking. I also have a ruptured disk in my lower back and am needing surgery to repair this but don't have insurance so I can't find a doctor to do it. I have been dealing with this back thing for about 9 months now already. They all want thousands and thousands of dollars up front. Money that I obviously don't have. The condition is worsening everyday. The disk on against the nerve that goes down my leg therefore, making it very difficult to walk. I cry each and everyday. I am already partially paralyzed in my foot from this condition and if it continues to go untreated, I could be completely paralyzed. Then, to say the least, my husband of 10 years and I just can't seem to get along. I know it is all my fault. I just feel like I have so much on me right now that I can't handle the responsibility of being a wife anymore. I love him so much. I don't want to lose him. But, I just can't seem to cope with all this anymore. Yes, I have even thought about suicide. I have a 6 year old daughter and a 12 year old step-son that I love so much. I am just not physically, mentally, or emotionally able to be the mother they deserve and that I want so desperately to be to them. Please pray for me. Something has got to happen soon. I can't take it anymore. Debbie wrote: First, I would like to say thank you for this opportunity. I have a request that seem to be a Book but Please hear me out. The thing that bothers me the most is I have a son that will be three years old soon. He was a premature baby only weighed one pound. Here is the thing that bothers me, his father has NOTHING to do with him, he does not want to see him or even talk to him. Thank God that I have a brother that is his father figure. My son and I pray for him because he really need to get a relationship God. He had a tragedy to happen to him at an early age and I feel that he is angry with God. Now he has another child that he does not want to be apart of her life and I feel that he has a mental problem that God need to heal. Please keep us in your prayers.... Dear Debbie, I sent a note but you're domain is missing from your email address — I tried aol but it was returned; I'm praying for all, God bless you.

Dear Mike, I am praying in Jesus' name that the Spirit lead you in witnessing to others. May the Lord erase your fear and prevent any repercussions from those who would rebel. I pray all hearts will be open to His word. God bless you! Chaplain Charlie Thelitz wrote: A very dear friend of mine, PAUL HINKLE, recently had surgery to remove his gall bladder. Paul is now suffering from a massive infection in his abdominal cavity and just a few hours ago suffered a stroke. Please be much in prayer for this Christian gentleman. Thank you and God bless you all, ~Chaplain Charlie, Okla City~ Ann wrote: Please pray for me that I will attain permanent job security. I have been lied to and taken for granted repeatedly, endured years of sadness and lonliness, even Holidays alone. Yet I love and care for Shurland very much continuously, I do not understand why, but it is so hard to deny my heart and get him out of my system. I sincerely believe that god has a plan for shurland and I. Inspite of everything, we have always shared and help each other in many ways over the 10 years. Please pray for us that there will positive energy between us and he will communicate with me and respond to the good energy I send out to him. In Jesus' name I pray.

Thanks, Manda Maggie, [email protected] wrote: A friends son James had an MRI done yesterday and it showed areas of increased enhancement and brain swelling and oedema in several places which were not there before It looks like the tumours are spreading. James has cancer of the brain. They will have to wait until Wednesday to get the formal prognosis but it looks like there are new tumoural activity. My friend says that they have done all that they can humanly do to try to save James. They may have the option yet of a second operation. However they will wait to hear the doctor’s opinion to see if it is worth having it done. Especially in the light of any ramifications that may be the result of future surgery versus the potential benefit. Realistically, my friend says that James cancer is a very vicious and aggressive tumour and it is unlikely that he will make it. My friends guesstimate is that James will have about three months left . I am a Christian and we have a website http://www.homestead.com/wordoflife/home.html We are all praying for James but we would be grateful if you would join us in praying for James. We believe that prayer changes things. Despite the bad report we believe than nothing is impossible for God even the curing of a vicious cancer. Thanks for your prayers Maggie Please pray for Stephanie: I am having the most troubling week I have ever experienced. I think it may be what they call the "nervous breakdown". I am sleeping in three hour intervals and waking up in fear. The only way I can describe it is like this..... That feeling you get when your adrenaline pumps so fast you want to run out of your skin.. only mine lasts all day from the time I wake up until I can cry myself to sleep from the pain in my heart *chest*, and the exhaustion. It started on saturday and I made an appointment with an MD/Psychologist but she can't see me until thursday.... Its so unbearable I have wanted to die....but I know I could never do that to my family, God, or myself. I want to know what's wrong so bad so I can fix it.... I've been praying so hard... I know God wouldn't give me more to handle than I could...but it's so hard to accept that sometimes when I feel like this.... I can't go to stores alone right now...something has happened that has broken my spirit, my self-esteem, my mind. I pray that this isn't permanent. Please pray for me... I am begging. My mother has been so supportive and she has taken care of me....and every minute of the day she has been by my side telling me "its all gonna be ok....just hang in there baby until Thursday". I feel like I'm not just waiting for the appointment, I'm trying to hang onto my life.... it's like my body is in detox or something...withdrawing from some drug.... Thank you for listening....and I am praying...with all my heart I am praying.... Please pray for Chloe and her mother, Diane; Claudia wrote: This little girl has been very ill for a long time. Her heart is failing and she is going into surgery this week for a procedure to help her heart function better long enough for her to get well enough to be able to have a heart transplant.

He had a heart murmur a few days ago and he pasSed out this morning; he is in the hospital in a coma, the doctors said that he might die. Your sister in Christ, Ann Name/address withheld: Jesus, I'm trying so hard. Why is this one thing such a roadblock? Believing in that one thing happening, because You are God and You love me. They really drummed the negativity into me. So badly, that I think much of it has gone, but it is buried in my being...it sickens me. Lord, Father, God Almighty I beseech You that it is time. That I need this more than I've ever needed anything in my life. Before, at least I had time to help reduce the impact of the negative programming. Youth, more carefree as is human nature. I sometimes think it was all bad, but if I stop the stupid thinking, I know that I was blessed and some of my big prayers were answered. The kids, being a mother, college, jobs, houses, friends, talents, a good, warm, heart. This one, Lord, I want those feelings inside that only You can truly know and understand. The ones that never were there. I am at a time of my life, Heavenly Father, where my need is great. Others don't feel it, but he knows it in the spirit of him, we are so alike it hurts. Oh MY God, help me. Everyday that passes puts another dent into my spirit and my heart. My needs are great Father, and You want me to believe, and that is faith because I cannot see it come to fruition. Alas, moreover, I am battered by the evil one who tells me over and over and over again it cannot happen, it cannot be as I desire, there is no one like that out there, or close to it who would feel it for me, he hasn't been with me all the ways, over and over and over. I feel like a door being battered with a huge piece of wood. Father, if there is no life as I desire for me, no better way, then why WHY did You spare me, and fix things, and keep me going, however the going is? No, I must not give way to the battering ram...You want me HAPPY AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT WILL TAKE TO MAKE ME HAPPY (THE WHOLE WAY, THROUGH AND THROUGH, INSIDE ME)You know the peace I crave, how that is in my daydreams, and night sweats. Help me, Father to realize, believe, have. Father, I have waited so long, not patiently I know, but a long time, nevertheless. Father, I close my eyes to see Your Face and hear Your words right now. Fill me with the answer, and the Holy Spirit, and all the things my spirit craves so deeply. Give me them, bless me with them, I ask and pray. In Jesus Most Holy Precious Name, and grant my family and friends love, joy, health, and the desires of their hearts in this year 2001, especially J, who I want to see in the way that I think of. In Jesus Name, I beseech Thee again. Amen. Pushpa wrote: Please pray for a healthy, loving and respectful relationship with my husband YANA MOSES. Our marriage has been on the rocks for many years now. Sometimes there is no conversation in the house for months. Which means he does not even talk to my children. Pray that there is lots of health conversation and love and laughter. Please pray for my sister-in-law PURNIMA that she does not interfere with our marriage at all. Also for my brother Vinny and his wife Deepa and mum Mirian for a loving relationship. I pray that my husband will talk all my families and go to their homes. There he will be committed to this marriage. Kim wrote: Please pray for the restoration of my marriage and that my husband, Jim, would rededicate his life completely to Christ. We have been separated for 5 months, but there is no biblical reason for divorce and I know that divorce is never God's will. I am believing completely in God and ask that you please believe in prayer with me. Thank you all and may God richly bless you. Dear Kim, I also believe that God's will in our marriages is peace and unity; destruction and chaos are not His way. In Jesus' name, we bind those destructive forces and reclaim this union for the Father; He will have victory! Shelley wrote: Please send your prayers out for my 5 year old son Drew. He had a heart transplant at three months and is having some trouble now. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.....Shelley Mike wrote: Dear brothers & sisters in Christ, I need prayer because I want to know the Lord's will in my life. I recently started a new job and want the Lord's blessing on it as well so that I may glorify Him thru all that I do and be able to keep my job. I've made mistakes in the past and am making a new start. In Jesus name, amen Dear Mike, we ask all of God's blessings on your new job! I pray His will is revealed and I praise Him, knowing it will be. Your faith glorifies Him, I pray it will touch others. In Jesus' name, God bless you! T.L.D. wrote: Please pray for a special loved one, "Robbie" who's in need of the Lord's Guidance and Wisdom in his life, his family and I are very concerned about him, lately he has been spending an awful amount of time away from home and selling drugs, we are also concerned about his relationship with his former girlfriend and her family, they seemed to have corrupted his mind towards his family and close friends and they are using him for whatever money he can get his hands on as well as taking advantage of him. Please pray for him to come back home where he belongs and for those people to leave him alone for good. He's a good man with a good heart and they don't seem to care about him at all. Please pray for the Lord to keep his feet on the right path! Thanks and God Bless! Please pray for Earl: I ask that you pray for my peace of mind and a fixed heart. I ask that you pray for my marriage that we can get back together on one accord with fixed hearts and minds. I also ask that you pray for my guidance and understanding. Dear Earl, we lift these needs to the Father and ask, in Jesus' name, for peace in your heart and unity in your home. I pray you will also give Jesus the fear and pain; when you feel them, pray and He will take them. And, Father, replace them joy & clarity, Amen!! Earl, God bless you! Chris wrote: A good friend of mine called me early this morning to tell me her husband passed away monday morning. She has small children to tend to and due to her husbands death will be missing several days of work. Please say a prayer for my friend to give her the strength she needs to make it through this hard time that she and her children are going through. She is a very special person and a special friend. I met her on the internet last summer and we immediatly connected and felt so close as though we've known each other for years. She is special to me. I just want to be able to give her a hug and tell her everything will be okay but because I live in the northwest and she in the southeast, it's very impossible to do that. So I thought the next best thing is to request prayer for her as well as pray for her myself. Thank you so much. If you would like to send her an email to let her know that she is receiving prayer, you can do so, her email address is, [email protected] I thank you sooo much...God bless, Cris Winegar Mike wrote: I've been a hypocrite for Christ and have done alot of bad things over the years. I know that you reap what you sow and I feel that the Lord's wrath is against me. For I know that I'm in trouble and my life is going to change because of it. Please pray that the Lord will give me a final chance to do His will and have mercy on me. Looking back I can't believe I was so stupid and wasted valuable years when I could have been serving Him. Thank you. Dear Mike, the Lord hears your repentance and has forgiven you according to His promise. The heavens are rejoicing at your renewed committment to His will and I'm thankful to join in the praise! Our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ have put your past sins away; through the blood of Jesus, you were cleansed. I believe, and scripture shows us, that satan is at the root of your doubt and fear; he is the one that would have you feel unworthy of redemption, so he lies. Rebuke his lies and cling to Jesus! My thoughts and prayers will be with you. Sharon wrote: We have been together as a couple for over 9 years, we lived apart from each other for 3.5 years while I was in Graduate school and my boyfriend/fiance lived in 3000 miles away. We were married on August 8, 1998 and have been faced with numerous challenges during the 22 months we lived together as husband and wife (financial, loss of a baby, long illnesses and as well as his family wanting to see him as much as I did because he had been 3000 miles away in California for 3.5 years, not to mention the adjustment of being with each other 24 hours a day). We seperated on May 25, 2000 after both having extremely bad days personally and a very heavy verbal arguement. We didn't not speak until June 28, 2000 6 days before he moved to Australia for work. He called me as soon as he arrived in Australia and never missed a weekend call (sometimes more than 1). He returned on September 20, 2000 and has been living with his parents (as he did when we seperated on May 25, 2000). Since his return he as initiated numerous "dates" going for dinner, stopping by after work, going to the movies, spending nights and weekends with me. He began telling me he loved me while he was away in Australia and has not stopped. He has told me over and over...I love you, I care about you, I enjoy your companionship, I am very attracted to you...but can't go back to what we were doing it was so bad. I have noticed in our conversations that he seems to be very confused and lost with everything in his life...his job, his living at home, and his personal life. I have sought out a psychologist, through Bayview Counselling Centre affliated with CTS, to help me deal with several things I did while we were married that I should never have done. Please pray for the reconciliation of our marriage. I continue to pray...Dear God please hear my prayers, help me, guide me, strength me and take my fears from me. Hear Peter's heart of all the bad and unpleasant memories. Open his heart to the good times, my love, our love, and your love. I pray that through your love our marriage vows can be strengthened and renewed. Help me oh God to continue to support me as I continue work at improving my communication of what is in my heart to Peter and other's in my life. Help me to accept waht poeple say andfeel. I pray that you oh God will strenght both Peter and I individually and as a couple so that we can live once again as husband and wife. God Please forgive my sins and bring reconcilation to our marriage. This I pray in Jesus' name, Praise be to God the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. God bless you!

In the name of Christ, Amen A Christian sister wrote: "I've been suffering from headaches that come and go for several years now. I do not know the cause of these headaches and I have been fearful of going to the doctor to find out why. Please pray with me for a complete healing from God. Also that fear will be removed and that I will have total faith in Jesus." Please pray for Renee & her husband: I am asking prayer for my marriage and my husband. My husband is not a Christian and our marriage has not been very good for the last 3 years or so. My husband has been unfaithful numerous times in our 13 yrs marriage and each time I have sought Christian counseling. The last 3 years our marriage has been getting worse...Due to the stresses of him being unfaithful, I have gained weight, which just makes him more upset and more unfaithful. I have been in Christian counseling for the last 4 years trying to deal with this situation. The last year he has turned to the Love Personal ads and emailing women on the computer also. I rededicated my life to JESUS in a revival service in October, but Satan just keeps trying harder than ever. My church is praying for me, but I know that you can never have enough people praying for you. Lots of times I just feel that I cannot take the emotional abuse anymore and want to give up on the marriage...I just dont know what GOD wants me to do!....Please pray for me. Thank You. Please pray for Patty: Please lift me up in prayer on Thursday, Dec 14. I have my nursing final from 9:30 to 12:00. I have worked very hard to get to this point and I would feel blessed to know that I have prayer partners standing with me during this time. Thank you and God Bless, Patty. UPDATE:Patty passed!

Willie, [email protected] has two prayer needs: First, please pray for my nephew youngest son, his name is Nathan, he is 15 yrs of ag. Satan is trying very hard to take him away from God's hands. Nathan, when younger, walked humbly with God; yet, like most kids he is feeling his oats and getting into areas where Satan roams. He has dyed his hair of ugly colors and painting his fingernails black. I don't understand the purpose of this fad but I now every generation has there fling. Pray for nathan that God will reach down and bring him back to him . I myself really need sincere prayers. My walk with God is really bad; I am falling away from god and it is hurting me deeply inside, I really feel like I am in a whirlwind going deeper down into the pits of sin. I know what God's words say about backsliding, and I know what my problem is. I am not fallen from grace, I still have desire to follow God, I still love to worship Jesus; yet, inside of me, I feel totally empty. I felt this way since I had my last accident three and a half years ago, where I died at the scene. There I saw myself falling into outer darkness and confusion was all around me saying I should be going up instead of going down. What seemed an eternity when I saw the hand of Jesus pick me up and put me in the hand of the firemen. I really feel that is when God's spirit left me. I really feel hurt inside and also I feel like I am dying very fast in the spirit. And a praise report! A couple of months ago, I placed a prayer request on the net for two God Sons of mine; thier names are Zacharya, and Emanueal. Both boys come from a family of eleven children; they are in the middle of the group, both doing thier own thing. Well, Emanuael is starting to come back to God and get his life straightened out again, countinue praying for both of these boys and I want to thank you all for praying. Please pray for Lorraine L.

Please pray for healing and for comfort for her family, and that her unsaved children will come to Him through this.Thanks and God bless. Please pray for Dominic. I am a Christian and have been praying to the Lord on three issues. These issues have bordered me so much and, in fact, have been a burden. These are as follows: 1.

Whether he is demon possessed or not...you do not even pretend that you are! This stuff is spilling over into the kids...theoldest has vulgar language and uses it on her brother and sisters...she wants her parents dead and tells them. It is just growing worse.

The Doctor said that it could be just a lumpy spleen, which some people have or a type of childhood cancer. Neuroblastoma- I'm sure that its the cancer because my sister died from neuroblastoma back in the mid 60's. Josh is only 11 weeks old. Please pray that the Lord removes it before the Doctors have the chance to. (The Lord spared my adopted daughter from eye surgery 2 years ago and the Doctor is still talking about how she doesn't understand what happened.) And that all his caregivers from now on have the spirit of God in them for wisdom even if its only for the time period that Josh is with them if they are unbelievers. And please send this around to other Christians and your churches. Thank you, Susan-- whose husband walked out leaving me pregnant- he's still in denial about his emotional abusive stuff, but wants to reconcile now-by the way. Please email Susan at: [email protected] Please pray for the family of Nancy Mann. She passed away very suddenly on May 24th at the age of 35. She was a wife and mother of two, ages 12 and 17. Please also pray for her friends and church family. So many people loved her and will miss her. Please, please say a prayer for the family of Art who died last night in Massachusetts (5/29/00) He was married to Gert for almost sixty years and still, they were very very much in love. They are hurting terribly right now...will you please ask your Prayer Warriors to send them a word of Love and perhaps a piece of Scripture concerning mourning? Daughter Diane's email adress is: [email protected] she will be so amazed to know that, as Christians, we don't need to know one another personally to care...please, show her Jesus in you. My sincerest thanks and May God Bless you richly for doing what it is you do so well...praying for and loving others through Christ!YSIJC Cate xoxox [email protected] I would like to pray for my husband who is going to have surgery tomorrow. Although he is only having what is known to be a simple procedure, he had complications last surgery. I pray that the surgery goes well and that his recovery is a strong one. I can only pray that he doesn't have breathing problems like last time and will come from the operation in good health. Amen - Keri, [email protected] UPDATE 5/31 - I would like to thank everyone that prayed for my husband. Sadly, we now have a further set back. He was all ready to go for his surgery yesterday when they got the results of his blood work back. We found out he's diabetic and they can't do the surgery now until that is under control. It looks as though the surgery may be put off for another 3 to 4 weeks. We will know more on Friday about his diabetes. Please pray for us that it is just a mild case and that he can get on the road to recovery to have his operation.Thank You and God Bless.Keri WE NEED A LOT OF PRAYER FOR OUR PASTOR'S MOM. SHE HAS CANCER . AND THE DR SAYS SHE ONLY HAS 6 MOS. TO 1 YEAR TO LIVE BUT GOD ONLY KNOWS THAT. WE HAVE A LOT OF LEGAL MATTERS GOD NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF FOR US. PAMELA ERINLE, [email protected] David Raphael, 17½ mos. Pam and Ralph, [email protected] Our youngest son, David Raphael, was born with severe, but flexible, bilateral clubfeet 17½ months ago. We have been using non-surgical methods to help him that have been very, but not totally successful and he has had an incrediable amount of improvement. We are taking him to orthropedist, one of the rare ones in our area who is skilled in the non-surgical AND surgical techniques of treatment on Thursday, June 1st. He needs further treatment and we are concerned that he is not walking independently yet (He sidesteps very well and clubfoot patients do tend to walk later, but we are concerned.) Please keep in prayer that the Lord gives favor here with this new doctor, and that our David has a good report and that he will not need any surgical intervention of any kind. (Most children with clubfeet do at some point.) We believe the Lord, Our Great Physician, to do the work!! Upddate 6/24 - David had surgery on Wed., 6/21 and did very well! Pam wrote that he had no ill effects from the procedure and was off his pain medication that night. He is already standing, crawling, and walking, even with his casts! Glory and praise to our Father in heaven! David will be in casts for about 6 wks and in braces for a time, so please remember this family in your prayers. Please help me pray for my kids. Lisa, [email protected] http://members.tripod.com/freeschool/ This prayer request is for Carol True. She recently had a lung operation and the recovery has not been good. Her family has been at her side for a few days now and they may have to make decisions soon. Please pray for her and her family. (She has many grandchildren that love her dearly!!) Please pray for Barbara & Jack: my mom-in-law, Barbara is watching her beloved husband, Jack, whom she has been happily wed to for over 47 years, slowly and agonizingly die of emphysema in a hospital here in Boston, Massachusetts. She is bringing him home on Friday, and she has seven children who will chip in to help care for him, but this is too overwhelming emotionally on this dear woman. Please,please,pray....Much thanks, and God Bless you for even caring for needy strangers like us. Cate [email protected] Please pray for Pastor Buck Hill. He has been sick for so long and done so many tests. He does have a blood disorder, but that doesn't account for so many other problems that he is undergoing. Pray for his health, that the medical people are able to diagnose and treat. Pray to our Lord for healing.He is also making some major decisions now and in the near future. Pray for discernment and that the Lord directs in all things. Pray that satan is not allowed to interfere and that our Lord removes anything that he is using to bring Buck down. Pray for the unspoken requests.Please add him to your prayer lists. If you would like to write him a note of encouragement, his email address is [email protected] Thank you, Mercy http://www.angelfire.com/sd/Godspage2/index.html John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son Cheyanne, 2 yrs. old and Amy, her mom 5/2 — Tues. a.m. WE NEED ALL THE PRAYERS WE CAN GET.

(*This email addresses a Christian in the Dallas area going to visit with Amy and take supplies. Anyone who's ever been on a 'hospital campout' knows what I mean. Portions have been omitted, such as phone numbers. I worried that, if the desk were flooded with calls, it would interfere with the hospital staff and those in their care. BUT, if you feel strongly led to call Amy at the hospital, it is NOT my place to prevent it and I sure wouldn't want to stand in the way. I have no qualms whatsoever about releasing the phone number on an individual basis, just email me.) 5/18 - CHEY ISN'T DOING VERY WELL. HER KIDNEYS STOPPED WORKING THE OTHER DAY AND NOW HER LUNGS HAVE COLLAPSED. THEY SAY THEY CAN'T DO SURGERY BECAUSE SHE WOULD BLEED TO DEATH BECAUSE SHE IS ON THE ECMO MICHINE.

In Christ, Cindy 12-27-99 Amanda Bundy is a 6-year-old girl, in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, the daughter of some very close friends of ours. A few weeks ago, her mother was giving her a hug and felt a lump on Amanda's back. An X-ray showed it to be some sort of growth, and later tests revealed that is a massive malignant tumor that has spread to all parts of her chest and abdomen. There are no organs that are untouched, and she has more tumors in her body than she has organs. PRAISE THE LORD! A dear intecessor sent me an update...Amanda was ill in '96 or '98 but is now completely healed and doing very well! GLORY BE TO GOD!
