Prayer Requests for Week May 31st ~ June 6th

Church Requests

  • Search Team
  • Our new pastor and his family - wherever they may be. May God be stirring their hearts for change.
  • Peace for Harvest staff & families, members.
  • Sale of a piece of our land to pay off a note that matures in August (or some other means of paying it off).

Matt & Lindsey Williams

  • Please continue to pray for my sister Melissa. She is miserable and has been sick since about February. They think it is Lyme's disease, but it is in the advanced stages if that is the case. They are awaiting the results from the test that was run yesterday. Please pray for a definite answer from this test. The other thing is since this is more advanced, she will have to see a specialist in Springfield, MO (they live in Houston). The earliest appt is in the end of August unless they have a cancellation. Please pray for a cancellation. Last, please pray for her to find some relief from these symptoms - she is having problems gripping things, has had a fever since February, is losing weight, can't think clear, her vision is not as good as it used to be and is having joint pains. She told me tonight that she cannot sleep because she is miserable. Also, keep her husband Chris in prayer - I know this has to be trying for him.

Nathan & Erin Funk

  • (Erin) I'm supposed to go back to work on June 15th which is too soon for me! I actually am waiting to hear back from my manager to find out if I can wait 3 more weeks and start July 5th instead. If I can't wait until July 5th, I will have to go back to work full time (3 days/week) for three weeks until I can be there at the beginning of a pay period. Then, I would be able to go part time. My job is not protected, however, after June 15th, so I'm hoping my manager will be ok with holding my job until I can be part time. If it does work out to start a little later that would be such a blessing! And what a way for God to show His faithfulness even when I thought I'd only get 8 weeks off!

Bryan & Emily Gilbert

  • Let us know how we can pray for your family.

Justin & Susan Bentley

  • Cousin Brent‘s wife‘s mom passed away two weeks ago in Hospice. Niki is 30 and not sure how to feel about her death. Brent and Niki are cleaning out Mom‘s apartment and Niki is having a hard time as she sees that her Mom‘s mental illness caused her to make bad decisions. Niki is a semi-practicing Jew. Brent is a new Christian. We pray Niki will be covered in God‘s love and that God will call Niki to salvation in the sweetest way.
  • Sleep - rest - healing.
  • Thank you all for praying for us and caring for us with our newest baby.
  • Home for one of our dogs.
