Prayer Requests

[Mouko OCS]

This is a place for all prayer requests.  We are a people who say we believe in prayer.  Yet, do we really?  Do we go to God with everything...good and bad?  Do we truly trust our Lord to hear our prayers?  Do we trust that no matter the answer, that He knows best?  I hope it is your witness today that you can say a resounding YES to these questions.

1 John 5:13-15
These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know
that you have eternal life.  And this is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything
according to His will, He hears us.  And if we know that He hears us [in] whatever we ask, we know
that we have the requests which we have asked from Him

Hi All

Please keep myself and the other Deacons & Elders in our church in prayer this week. After services this Sunday, we will be voting on whether or not to open a Christian School at our church (www.GraceCommunityChapel.com).

Please pray that God will reveal His Will to us for this ministry. Please pray that we will have the faith and strength to follow His Will. This will be a hugh step of faith in the area of finances because of the associated cost for this ministry. In order for this to occur there must be a unanamous decision from the Deacons, Elders and Pastor.

In Christ
The Deacon

[The Deacon OCS]

Praise the Lord. Our board of 9 Deacons, Elders and the Pastor voted to step out in Faith and start a new Christian school at our church.

Please keep in prayer that God will provide for the financial needs of the school. Also, an more importantly, that it will be a source of teaching our young to become well educated and strong in their Faith

[Mouko OCS]

Sent you something little brother...

Buddy, you have more people than you know praying for you.  That hasn't stopped...nor will it.

Lord Jesus I pray for my little brother, You know his heart, You know his mind, You know all that is in him.
I pray Holy Spirit that the comfort that only You can provide would be his.  I pray that You would continue
to hold him close as You always have.  I pray Father that the storm You are allowing him to be in right now
would be seen as nothing more than a breeze when He sees You.  I pray not that You'd take Him out of the
storm, but through it.  We know You have a purpose for the storm that is for his good and ultimately for
Your glory.  We trust in You Lord that You are in control...for YOU are GOD!!  Praise be to You Lord for
Your grace and mercy!  It's in the most holy and precious name of Jesus we pray.  Amen.

please keep my daughter taylor(BUG OCS) in your prayers. she is 14 soon to be 15. very pretty( gets it from her dad ) and is starting to get boys on her mind. she is a strong christian girl and i trust her and do not worry about her failing but she ( as well as myself and her mother) could use the prayer. maybe some of you can fathers can give her some advice. i have raised a 22 year old and boy howdy!!!!!!!! i want to make this one as easy as possible.

[Mouko OCS]

Uggg...that's my biggest concern about possibly having a daughter...which, and I can't say why, I believe is what we'll have if/when the Lord blesses us with children.  Will pray for you all...

[Cortath OCS]

I had a rough day on duty today. I went out on a SIDS call (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), a 2 month old that was discovered by her mother this morning upon waking. When we got to scene, it was obvious that the child had passed several hours before. No resuscitation efforts for us, but we were requested by the Sheriff to take the infant into the ER so he could secure the scene and better deal with the upset parents. I've been in EMS for 8 years....and have become very accustomed to dealing with death. I rest knowing that the baby is in the Lord's arms right now.

1 hour later I went out to the same address for the mother. I feared the worst, but when I got there I was told by the other family members that the mother had been distraught and hysterical since our original departure with the infant. I managed to talk the mother into coming with me so we could get her some help. Let me tell you my brothers and sisters.......that was the longest 25 minute transport I ever had. As you would expect from a grieving mother, a lot of crying, screaming, and pleading with God. I tell you.......a very hard one for me to endure. I did witness......though at this point in time.....I think I did little to ease her suffering. I can't even imagine loosing one of my children, much less this new...and first time mother. I ask you all to pray for Karen, who questions her faith over her loss. I also ask you to pray for the rest of her family. May the Lord give them strength through this difficult time. Thank you all.

Keep me in your prayer and your remembrance... I have a feeling that youth ministry is ready undergo another transition as it is time for growing and changing. Always challenge. Also, continue pray for my weight. Lastly, pray for my school. I am stress out a bit. Just took three exams and I think I do them well. Wait and see. I have two term paper coming up very fast. Oh also... please and please pray for my mom... She is closer to accept Jesus Christ as her Savior. She is not saved just yet. Pray for my dad and step mom, they are seriously consider about doing mission work at India and they are atending Charis Bible College to get some educational background and experience. It is interesting to witness the spiritual growth in my dad and step mom. Pray for my sister also... she is also unsaved. Gosh... as matter of fact I have too many prayer request so i will just left it as it is. God bless.
