Prayer Request for The Knippers Family

This prayer request is for Allen & Paula Knippers, former members of our lifegroup. Paula is pregnant with twins and I believe her due date is the first week of December.

They are doing everything to make sure she carries the twins until at least 32 weeks if not longer.

2. Please pray for the Childer's friend's daughter, her name is Moriah Nelson and her parents are Justin & Victoria. They live in Los Angeles and Moriah has been in the hospital continuously for the last 11 months. She was born with a massive heart defect, but a doctor at Stanford performed radical surgery and fixed her heart 100%. Praise God! Then, she got terrible respiratory problems and has had to be intubated too many times to count. She was born with C.H.A.R.G.E syndrome. They found out this week that she has no hearing in her left ear and very little in her right ear. This may cause her to never walk. She was supposed to go home on Sept 9th for the first time in nearly a year (with at-home care), but now she has pnuemonia and won't be leaving the hospital. Her parents are only 25 years old and this is their first child. They are awesome believers and their faith and trust in God through all of this has been amazing to watch. Please pray for healing for Moriah.

3. Jenna's college roommate suffered a miscarriage this past week and it has been difficult for her and her husband to understand, but they are placing everything in God's hands and trusting Him.

4. Please pray for Saige to get better soon. She has a stomach virus. And please pray that no one else in their house gets it.

5. Please pray for Dustin at work.

6. Please pray for Jenna's dad. He retired two months ago and feels "lost" without going to work each day and needs things to keep him busy and healthy.

7. Pray for Paul's co-worker's 21 year old daughter who had a major accident a couple weeks ago and is still in a coma. It is the Kallmeyer family.

8. Jennifer Huff's car was broken into so pray they find the funds to get the damages fixed.

9. Pray that the Huff's credit while they are in the market of buying a new home.

10. Jennifer will be traveling alone with their son this coming weekend so pray for safety.

Enjoy the rest of the Labor Day weekend!!
