New Prayer List

Our lives have been quiet - we are preparing to leave here in April and take on the very difficult task of spending the summer at Chocorua Camping Village in New Hampshire. Our job there - to operate the Doggy Day Care and do the weekly karaoke show! I know - tough work!!! But somebody's got to do it!!!!


G-d has directed that I use this quiet time to study and delve deeper into His Word. I have signed up with Koinonia Institute and begin classes on Feb 2. I'm also doing an in depth study on Romans - taking from two different courses at the same time - which provides interesting perspectives.

Audra - thank you for your comments. Be sure to duplicate and digitize all those precious memories! They can't ever really be replaced!

Prayer List:

Pray that G-d's hands will ensure a safe and effective surgery and that each will recover fully and quickly:

Marla L - Going in on Feb 4 for surgery to remove fibroid growths. .

Alan Stirnaman - going into the hospital on Feb 10th for hip replacement


Pray: As G-d directs

Kimberly B: needs to find work, a car and a place to live as soon as possible. Having just left drug rehab, she is in need of constant prayer support to protect her from the demons of addiction and to help her grow in her fledgling walk with G-d.


Jennifer (Gabriel's friend) - Searching for G-d and seeking salvation.


Karen P - Physical pain - needs healing and relief. Also needs prayer for understanding and protection.


Audra, Randy and Rowen - safe travel to Germany and a great learning experience when they arrive.


Annie F - diagnosed with breast and bone cancer

Joan B - diagnosed with terminal lung cancer

Audrey N - fighting cancer and a new tumor in her throat



And please pray for Marla and I - that we may be in the right place at the right time, saying the right things that will bring G-d's will into the lives of those we love.



As always, pray for our leadership, our country and Israel.



Baruch aba b'shem Adonai!!

Prayer Requests:

UPDATED 12/1

RUTH G - Suffering with severe infections of the colon and the blood, fluid in the lungs, weight loss. Ruth battled colon cancer for a long time - thought it was beat - but is having difficulty with these complications. Pray that the L-rd brings her comfort and peace as well as restored health. Be with her and her family.

Mary N and her children, Kyle & Sarah. Mary was recently widowed (husband died of Leukemia) and the holidays are exceptionally difficult for the family.

Woman named Sarah - lost her son to heart failure just before the holidays - please pray that she can find some peace through this difficult time.

John Parsons - teacher and webmaster of "Hebrew4Christians". He has been layed off his job and is expecting a new baby in a few months. May his web site be fully supported, book sales profitable and his needs provided for.

Kim V - Special prayers for Kim - that she may find a renewing faith and surrender her will to the Lord to become the warrior for Yeshua the Christ that G-d would have her to be. This is a critical time for her right now, the spiritual battle is extreme and difficult - please keep her in prayer.

LeeAnn & John: Travel safety over the next 15 days. We are each travelling to visit family - separately this time. I am flying - John is driving.

THIS HAS BEEN VERIFIED (Thanks, Pete) BY http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,455066,00.html

I have received a request to pray for the Christian believers and the YWAM workers in Orissia Provence of India. Because of the death of a Hindu priest that was wrongly blamed on the Christians - hundreds of believers and Christian workers are in danger, many have been killed. Pray for protection - and for truth to come out so the Christians are no longer blamed!

I will try to reach some of my YWAM friends to see if this can be verified - but it appears to come from a legitimate source. Pray as G-d leads!!

Pray for Luke and Marissa Ostby: Marissa is carrying twins in vitro. Pray for her to carry to term and have a safe delivery and healthy babies.

Pray for John Lee - John suffered a stroke which has affected his short term memory - which affects his ability to keep his blood sugar and blood pressure properly medicated. Pray that he will recover to a good quality of life just as my honey, John has done.

And add a few extra prayers for DeDe and her co-workers. They actually heard a blast and had to put on flack gear reminding her that she is drawing combat pay for a reason!

I've repeated a couple of these because we have some new prayer warriors - and a couple that would be exceptionally empathetic to these requests. Also, we need to keep them in prayer, especially.

As always, pray for our leaders! Give thanks for the sane and orderly transition that is being made in difficult days and pray that sanity and the spirit of cooperation will continue in the many difficult days to come.

And pray for Israel - there are so many things going on in and around the country. But this special land needs prayer for peace, acceptance, strenghth and wise leadership.

1Ki 8:28 Even so, Adonai my God, pay attention to your servant's prayer and plea, listen to the cry and prayer that your servant is praying before you today,

2Ch 6:19 Even so, Adonai my God, pay attention to your servant's prayer and plea, listen to the cry and prayer that your servant is praying before you,

Mar 11:24 Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, trust that you are receiving it, and it will be yours.

Prayer Requests

What a great day! I actually got to share a few words with my daughter today on the facebook chat line. It wasn't much as my computer connection gave out on me (I'm in a bit of dead zone here) right in the middle of it. But any little bit certainly helps me feel a little closer.

Okay prayer warriors!! In the words of one great American - Let's Roll!!!


Prayer requests: I am first going to copy a post from Krissy because this story also broke my heart when I read it. Read through - then add this to your prayer list. These practices have been going on for centuries, I know, but there must be some hope for this child.



Please pray for Matani Shakya. She is a 3 year old girl that lives in Nepal. She was just tested and approved to be the new "Kumari" or living goddess. The testing included seeing if she had perfect hair, perfect teeth, perfect eyes, with out any scars on her body, and lives without any fear of the dark. To prove that she is not afraid of the dark she had to sleep in a room alone with the heads of ritually slaughtered goats and buffalo. Now that she is approved she will live in almost total isolation in a temple with out her parents only to have people come in and bow at her feet and place their foreheads on her feet. Until the time she starts to menstruate and then she is sent home to most likely never marry because of Nepalese folklore states that any man that marries a former Kumari will die young (not to mention the irreversible damage done to a child being completely isolated without her family) I read this and just felt lead to ask people to pray for her. She is 3 years old for goodness sake!!! To also pray for the continued work that is happening in Nepal to increase the rights of children.



Pray for Barbara O - looking at knee replacement surgery that should have been done last month but has been suffering from an infection of some kind and surgery had to be delayed. Pray for healing of the infection and a successful, uneventful surgery with a quick recovery.



Pray for Luke and Marissa Ostby: Marissa is carrying twins in vitro. Pray for her to carry to term and have a safe delivery and healthy babies.



Pray for John Lee - John suffered a stroke which has affected his short term memory - which affects his ability to keep his blood sugar and blood pressure properly medicated. Pray that he will recover to a good quality of life just as my honey, John has done.



Pray for Jordon, Sharin & Janet - that they may have the patience and the fortitude required to help John Lee in the very difficult months ahead.

Pray for everyone at Mountain Ministries - These wonderful people are so committed to helping break addictions. They do great work and never ask for money, yet G-d provides every day. Pray for each resident to find recovery and freedom and for the teachers, counselors and supporters to be blessed in their work.

Pray for Gabby Stirnaman - She had her first bad experience away from home and while not hurt, she was frightened. Please pray that she will learn from the experience and will gain strength and confidence to NOT maintain the attitude of a victim.

Pray for Richard Wiggins - also a stroke victim but not recovering well. He seems to have given up on life before it was necessary. Pray that he will make the effort to recover and find good health.

Pray for Rabbi Paul, Nancy, Peggy and Pastor Jim - They are travelling in Israel, working on a pregnancy education center there and touring a little in off times. Suffering with illness and fatigue, they need strength and good health and safety for the rest of their trip.

Pray for DeDe and all our troops and civilian workers in Iraq and Afghanistan and the families they left behind - May G-d keep them safe and well and bring them home with pride and victory!

And, always, pray for the peace of Jerusalem.



Tomorrow, I'm going to introduce you to my hubby, John. We have been on a trip down memory lane, visiting his old homestead, the family graves and some friends from his high school days. Anybody know the difference between black eyed peas and boiled peanuts???

Until then - Shalom
