March 13th Prayer Requests & Announcements

PRAYER REQUESTS:


1.  Please pray for Dustin's brother, Brandon.  He is in a very bad place and looking to all the wrong things/people to find guidance.  Also, please pray for Dustin and his parents, especially his mother, as they struggle to be still and let God fight for them, while seeking godly discernment and what they should/should not do.


2.  Please pray for Kristen's brother.  He is in prison in Indiana and is getting caught up in paperwork and processes because he was in the hospital after being beat up in prison by a gang.  Because of his time in the hospital it has lengthened his time in prison and he should have been out by now in a half-way house.  His parents are hoping to get him transferred to another state once he gets out of prison and then to eventually get him back to El Salvador.


3.  Please pray for Nicole's mom.  She is in the hospital for her chemo treatment.  She hasn't been eating regularly and has been going days at a time without eating.  She is in a state of depression.


4.  Please pray for Elise's sister and brother-in-law.  He is trying to get a position based at West Point.


5.  Please pray for the Peru mission team.  They are in Peru right now.


6.  Jenna requests prayer for her sister, brother-in-law, nieces and their entire family.  My sister's niece shot and killed herself at home yesterday morning.  She was only 20 years old.  The family is in intense pain and full of questions.  


7.  Please pray for the Japanese people.
