Support and Health Needs Those in our fellowship who are struggling with finances, marriages, and dealing with sick children For the Presidential candidates that will be running for office this November and that God would be gracious to give us a leader who would lead and seek God’s Word for our Nation The volatile situation that Iran is causing in threatening to close the shipping route called, The Strait of Hormuz, this is the transportation route of the Middle East for oil shippers and the threats have been heightened due to the European Union (EU) embargo on not purchasing oil from Iran.

The whole world is aware that Iran continues its nuclear program in the production of a nuclear bomb For countries in grave turmoil in bringing death to many Christians in the countries of Nigeria, Egypt, Syria, India, Pakistan, just to name a select few - also those in Mexico as many are being executed by the drug cartel as well as the war at the border with illegal immigrants fleeing to America looking for work We all have loved ones in our families that are not saved; pray we have a burden for their salvation and to share Christ with them. Our Sunday School Teachers who teach the Word of God and our Awana leaders who are faithful as they work with the young people For the teens on Friday as they will be traveling to Misercordia to watch the film Courageous.
