“The Christian’s future is as bright as the promises of God.” Psalm 121:8; Isa. 41:10. We are depending on Him. Just rejoice and lets be thankful.

Leigh,(43 yrs. old wife & mother of 2 small boys) was informed by MD Anderson she has six months to live. She has exhausted all chemo/radiation treatments in fighting her breast cancer. Her mother, Dorothy (whom you have prayed for several times), asked her where God was in all of this & she replied, no where. Your prayers are desperately needed & appreciated. We will pray for you as well. Thank you. Billie

In Tehran, the capital of Iran, thousands of Muslims have become Jesus followers over the last months. They gather illegally in house churches. This is reported by Iranian pastor Mahim M., living in exile in Germany. Iranian friends have told her that Jesus appeared to people in dreams, and in a number of cases sick people were surprisingly healed.

The new believers in Iran take courage and speak about their faith more publicly. M. estimates that in Tehran alone there are now more than 100,000 Christians. At the same time, the oppression is increasing. Muslims who confess Jesus are arrested and tortured without any reason. Some of them are missing without a trace. Joel News International.

The closing of airspace over Europe the last five days due to volcanic ash has cost millions of rands both internationally and nationally. The flower industry in the Western Cape, that generates R160 million per year and does its exports by air has been hit the hardest. Exporters expect a loss of R2.4 million for the week, but the amount increases by day because the deliveries cannot be made. Please pray for everyone who is affected by this financially. Especially those who are stranded and do not have extra finances to pay for daily needs. Pray specifically for the financial impact that it has on South Africa in this time.

Please pray for the staff and 300 slum children of Phoolwari Child Development project (CDSP). This project of our Church is working towards transforming the community by caring for their children and their families. Pray for Pastor Satya Narayan who is spiritually guiding the project and Sunandita who is leading the team to accomplish an exemplary work. India.

Pray for Gary my youngest brother needs prayer to find a job. His unemployment was abruptly cut off and because of his age and Parkinson’s, he's not finding any chance of work. Please pray for his and his wife Janice’s finances.

Please pray for George, a special friend, who was laid off his job after 28 years of service in 2008. He is about to loose his home where he solely cares for his 89 year old sickly father and young son. George fears the loss of his father. He has greatly respected and adored his father and fears the thoughts of being alone without him. He has been to court several times fighting for the rights of his young son. His love for this child has touched his heart in great ways. He says that his son has shown him what it is to truly love. George fears the litigation will ultimately reduce his son's rights. The stress of dealing with these things alone has made George feel desperation. He is about the sweetest man I know; and it breaks my heart to see him having to endure these things which is why I have been placing him on prayer lists. I know the power of prayer and what God can do for George. I was very pleased to run across your site. Please pray for George.

George is a man of very little faith. At 55, he has begun his search for God and salvation. Please pray that he will find the answers that he needs in his search for God in his life. Pray that his young son will be the first to be raised in a Christian home. Pray that he will undeniably know that God is in control of all things and that all things are possible through Him. The Lord is working through George. Pray that his testimony will strengthen us all. Thank you. C.D.

Janice: my friend desperately needs healing from a sciatic nerve pain situation in her lower left back. It's causing immense pain and doctors don't know exactly what the problem is. Pray for relief and for god's miracle healing.

On Wednesday, April 14, 2010, a 6.9 magnitude earthquake hit China's Qinghai province. The death toll is at almost 2, 000 with nearly 10,000 injured. Hundreds more are still missing. The area hardest hit by the earthquake was the county of Yushu. Located 13,000 feet above sea level, Yushu is beset by freezing temperatures and thin air, both of which are making rescue operations difficult. The earthquake destroyed untold numbers of homes, killed hundreds of people, injured thousands more, and set off landslides that knocked out power and phone lines. In the town of Jiegu, approximately 85% of the buildings were destroyed, including a number of schools. China is ranked number 13 on the Open Doors World Watch List 2010 for worst persecutors of Christians. Pray for shelter, clean water, nutritious food, blankets, coats, shoes, medicine and other desperately needed aid to reach earthquake survivors. Pray for rescuers to quickly locate and free those who are still alive but missing in the rubble. Pray for comfort for those who have lost homes and loved ones. Pray for the Lord to be with those who are suffering, reminding them of His presence of love.

Please pray for Helen for the next 3 weeks, I have absolutely no income and no way to change the situation. Please pray for my needs to be met, as I have done all I can do for my part. Please pray for my car situation, as well. I will need a car when I return to work in June.

Also for my grandson. Please pray for god to work a miracle in his life. He's in desperate need of one.

Please pray for the Assyrian Christians of Iraq. Please pray in particular for the nearly 500,000 refugees in Jordan, Syria and within Iraq.

Please pray specifically for a Province so they can come home and be protected as we work to help them go home and receive assistance so they can start their lives again.

Please pray in particular for the new Iraq Government that they will continue their help and for the Church worldwide to assist.
