Please pray for her friend, Olga, who this past weekend lost her husband who was 45 years old. She has two daughters that she'll have to raise without their father and what a difficult sorrowful time she is experiencing right now. Please pray for God's comfort to surround that family.

Tina Brenize - Praise regarding Gayle Ferrell.

Good news….antibiotics are working, Gayle is responding and they think she is going to be okay!! Praise God!!!!!

They are keeping her through the weekend at West Valley and are looking at releasing her on Monday. Not sure where yet. The hospital, already doing everything they can for her, cannot keep her since she is not in imminent health danger but the Acute Care Center they want to move her too cannot accept her because she cannot put pressure on at least 3 of her limbs. She may be going back to the La Loma Care Center where she was last week but the doctors feel she needs more care then the center can provide.

So, please continue to keep Gayle in your prayers and pray to give wisdom to the doctors and family on where to send Gayle once she is released.

Thank you all so much!!!

Lisa Bradley - Prayer Request she received from her friend Luz.

I’m 19 weeks and on last week’s ultrasound, I found out I am having my 3rd boy. Yesterday was my OB apptmnt where the doctor went over w/me the ultrasound results. Basically, the baby has cysts in his brain (known as choroids plexus cysts). Never knew such a thing existed until now. Basically, it could be a marker for Down Syndrome. However (thank God), the doctor said that everything else in the baby came out as “normal.” She says that b/c of this, I shouldn’t be too concerned. But as a mother, I’m still VERY much concerned. On top of that, he’s very small. He’s only in the 4th percentile. The doctor says that could be b/c the ultrasound tech got the dates wrong or it may be that the baby has a growth spurt.

Lisa, I can’t help but be sad, but really, I’ve been at peace w/myself. I know it’s coming from God. I’ve asked for strength to get me through whatever the outcome will be. Of course, I want my baby to be healthy; however, if he’s not, I want to be strong for him. I can’t have it any other way. The doctor says that the cysts will hopefully go away by the 3rd trimester. I don’t know what it will mean if they don’t.

Bethany Hammer - Prayer Request

I was wondering if I could ask you and the group to pray for my
grandmother. About a month ago we found out that her breast cancer returned,
but had spread throughout the bones in her body. Since the diagnosis she
has been treating with radiation and chemotherapy. She goes in
tomorrow for a CT scan because she is having problems with one of her legs.
They are concerned that the cancer is strong and that it is causing her
to break bones. She is receiveing shots a few times a month to make her
bones stronger to fight this battle.

Physically she is not doing well, but it is the emotional side that I
am requesting prayer on. Up until this week she maintained the attitude
of a fighter and was devoted to beat this battle. I spoke with her
today and she has a very defeated attitude and is struggling to want to
fight this battle.

If you could also lift up the rest of our family in your prayers that
would be great. My dad is not doing well with being away from his mom
during this time.

Kim Hale - Prayer Request
Please pray for Rita Bennett. She's a wonderful lady who was laid off in November and is going for a job interview at Palo Verde on Thursday at 2 p.m. Please pray that this will be the job would like her to have to be able to support herself with.
