As we pray this week we have a lot of requests. As you think of them during the week take that as an opportunity to lift someone up to God and give their request to Him.
Prayer Requests
Chris - leaving for Africa Tuesday ~ 6th and will return on the 21st. Pray for safe travels, guidance, good health and protection. Pray that God will do a work in him and through him. We are so proud to have a member of our group going and helping our brothers and sisters in Christ in another part of the world. We look forward to hearing about how God used you in Guinea!
Melissa and kids - strength and guidance for Melissa while Chris is gone. We pray for a sense of security and peace for the kids.
Aaron's mom - had sepsis (bacteria in her blood) and pneumonia. Her ports removed due to infection from the sepsis. Has to eat on her own. She has a few more chemo treatments. We pray for healing and strength for her body.
Jessica's dad - PRAISE that his surgery went well last Wednesday! He is back in the hospital because his bowels are partially paralyzed. This has made his stomach descend which is causing more pain to the area that had surgery. He cannot have any pain medication because it causes constipation. We pray for healing on his body and wisdom for the doctors.
Robert's grandpa - he is doing better ~ will be going to see the oncologist who will determine if he will have surgery on the 13th. We pray for knowledge for the doctors and God's presence for his grandpa.
Caleb - going back to the doctor Tuesday to help determine what the next step is. He has had 2 appointments. We pray for a sense of discernment in this situation.
Justin and Kelly - learning to live without Chris. We pray for strength and comfort for them, especially Kelly during this time.
Praises
Danee - lump is gone! Praise God!
Robert - back in school starting in May. Depending on time and scheduling he should be there 3 semesters then plans to transfer to Spring Arbor University. We pray that God will calm any anxiety that goes along with making big decisions.
Hi all, update on Robert's grandpa. He did have surgery yesterday and is home resting. They think they got all the cancer again, but the concern is that they had to go in much deeper to find the 3 tumors, whereas in past surgeries, the tumors have been much closer to the surface. Please pary for healing for his grandpa and strength and comfort for his grandma.
ReplyDeleteWe are praying for healing and strength on his body. Thanks for the letting us know how things are going.
ReplyDeleteHey everyone!
ReplyDeleteSo I figured since my time here in guinea is almost done I might as well add some requests. The cretsinger's are really doing some unbelievable stuff over here. It has really impacted my life. They show the love of Christ so effortlessly but yet it is no small task.
My prayers are with all of you and your requests but I would add that we keep this family lifted up in prayer consistenly. Prayer for the seeds that they plant to bear fruit and proliferate through this village and further. Prayer that Christ can give them rest and encouragement for these last months before they come home on furloe. Prayer for peace in their everyday decisions.
It is very draining to to be the hands and feet of Christ especially here but this family does it so beautifully that it inspires and strengthens what God is doing in my life as well as the lives of the families in this village. They would never suggest that they are doing it as well as what I see though.
When I return home I will post a number of thoughts that I have had once I can grasp everything that I have witnessed here. See you later!
