Prayer Request:  Jimmy Garris (Wilson) had gall bladder surgery Tuesday, please pray for his recovery and also pray for an unspoken request for his life circumstances right now!

Prayer Request: John Houser, a retired Captain USMC.  John is the father of my father-in-laws pastor in Louisiana. He has multiple brain tumors that are inoperable.

Prayer Request:  Please pray for Donna Brown's family (Wilson) for God to comfort them in losing Donna two weeks ago with a brain tumor.

Praise Report: Norma Jean Moore (Wilson) Norma Jean went into a coma the first of August and doctors pronounced her to have nearly no brain activity.  Some of the family wanted to stop life support, but her daughter Ashley said no, and she began to pray and asked God for a miracle with her Mother.  Norman Jean came out of the coma last week and is talking and knows everyone.  She is beginning rehabilitation this week a Wake Medical Center in Raleigh.  One of her legs in drawn in.  Pray for her to walk again.  And pray for Ashley to keep the faith in her miracle faith in Jesus. Praise God for this young woman who still believed when few did! Ashley is my neighbor and she has driven her car around for two months with spray lettering, Please pray for Norman Jean. This girl should remind us all that Jesus is still in the healing business.

Praise Report:

I was delighted to hear from Renee' Moore on the results of surgery for little Jacob Rhodes. The surgery lasted 6 hours. When the surgical team came out of surgery they all gave a thumbs up to Jacob's Mom and Dad, Ken and Donna Rhodes of Kinston. Yesterday evening he asked for something to eat. His Mom only had a couple of soda crackers. He spit that out. His Dad went running around the hospital and came up with a whole box of graham crackers which Jacob some of. The surgeons thought they may have to take some hip bone for the cranial area opened but he had enough bone and that was a blessing to not have any of his hip bone removed. We serve a loving God and no matter what we go through he is always there. This is where faith and hope come alive. God bless you Jacob. Thank You Jesus and we praise you for the blessing on Jacob today. Praise be to the Lord of Host, may our sacrifice of praise be to Him today!. Please continue to pray for his recovery and for strength for his parents as they travel through this recovery period with Jacob.

I've had Steve Radford's daughter, Stephanie on my mind and in my prayers this morning. Sometimes when a loved one is taken unexpectedly and by means of unexplained circumstances it is difficult to come to closure and resolution. With young people like Stephanie it is even more difficult to get through the grieving process. But I want Stephanie to know that morning will come out this dark hour. There will be a growing process from this if she will lean on the Lord's guidance and hope and faith from her Christian friends. Sometimes God uses these painful events in our lives to guide us to maturity and to lead us to our own destiny in life. Some of the greatest callings have been born out of pain. We cling to hope and faith and express thanksgiving for the little time Stephanie's friend was with her and her parents and the darkest hour can bring joy in the morning. It is a season of sorrow right now for Stephanie and her lost friend's parents and we pray the Lord will guide and be with you during this season of loss. Here's a scripture for Stephanie and I pray it will help in giving her understanding of life's seasons we must all go through. When we know there is another time coming after sorrow it helps to allow God to comfort us until the dark has passed. For Paul the Apostle praising lifted him out of his darkest hour quicker. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, I hope this scripture will help Stephanie to understand God's plan and timing for her friend and her as well. Stephanie will always be in your spirit, for she is a [part of a plan God has for your life and that hole left in you can only be filled with something wonderful God has in his plan for you that will be affected by the loss of your friend.

I would like for us to pray for Stephanie's Dad, Steve. He has a flair up in his back (disc area) from an injury years ago. He had back surgery a while back. These kinds of injuries can be great pain so let us pray that God will heal him.

Rev Steve Porter found out yesterday that his youngest daughter, in elementary school, has the swine flu which she had contact with at her school. Let us pray today for his daughter that this flu will be released from her little body in the name of Jesus. It seems to me the devil is on the run attacking our children with this epidemic flu, and now is the time for us Christian parents to pray that no enemy that comes against us will prosper. I pray for the Lord to smear the blood over Steve Porter's house that no infirmity or illness can survive in His midst with his family.
