Prayer Requests

Paul and I are going to Delaware tomorrow. Our sister-in-law's dad passed away in Florida a week ago and the funeral will be on Valentine's Day near his old home near Rehoboth Beach. Mr. John came to Christ late in life, but the change was very noticeable.

Would you please remember to ask the Lord to:

  • comfort the grieving
  • bring healing to anyone who had "unfinished business"
  • use the true believers among us to share truth where it's needed
  • protect us as we travel (not taking any kids)
  • protect our kids and keep the snow from falling till we return tomorrow evening
  • give Paul and me some rich and much-needed deep conversation in the car

Thank you.

One more thing: I got an email from Barry at Acres at Hope. He said that thousands of farmers who were affected by the Florida tornado a week ago are beginning to deal with the hopelessness and despair that set in after the shock of a natural disaster. Some farmers will never be able to afford to rebuild because they were uninsured or underinsured. Please, if you have any stirrings at all to give to this hardworking, deeply devoted Christian couple to help bring hope to these folk down south, please act on those stirrings. For those who have sent money or items, thank you so much. Barry and Lynne say they are blessed beyond words that they don't have to go empty-handed into the fields.
