I received a call yesterday from a fairly newcomer to SC. They really enjoy SC. This caller has a concern for her boyfriend but didn't want any word to get back to him that she spoke to anyone.
Her concern is that her boyfriend only likes SC because of it's cool factor. Her request is for his mind to be open to really hearing the service and what God can do in his life. They have four kids with them.

She also asked for prayer for her ex husband and kids in that household. The kids aren't around good influences. They have questions about God but aren't receiving good answers.

Just a short note to let everyone know that I am home now. I still have the headache,but am not in as much pain as when I went in.
Thank you for your prayers. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night.

Patty

Prayer for one of our own

I talked to Patty yesterday and she got a letter saying her mother will need to leave the nursing home by April 22 because she hasn't been approved for Medicaid. Please pray for Patty and her mother that these problems can be worked out before then. She was going to go talk to the Medicaid office on Monday.

I know Patty will appreciate your prayers. Sandy


Patty went to the dr yesterday and he sent her to the NKC Hospital ER again for her migraine. They decided on a different treatment method which required her to be admitted. Paula sat with her until she got into a room. She is on day 16 or something with this headache. She said she would call if she needed anything but she is in room 899.4 which is an observation room in the pavilion. I will let you know if I hear anything else.

New Prayer Request

New prayer request from Robin Volpicelli:
Difficulties in my marriage continue. My husband is a non-believer. He left the house in January when he lost yet another job. He is basically a very angry person who is having a great deal of trouble forgiving people (parents, ex wife, employers etc..) He is "circling the drain" so to speak. I would appreciate prayers for his salvation and for healing in our marriage.

New Prayer Request

New prayer request from Patricia Lowe:
My friend Diana Rohr is suffering from cancer. She may have only a few weeks to live. Pray that the Lord will give her peace each day. Thank you.

Pray for Jason, Kim and Kelly Elliott's son. He has Strep Pneumonia and took a turn for the worst last night. They will be trying to surgically drain his lungs.

I also asks for prayer for my Mom Linda. She went in the hospital on Tuesday. She lives in St. Joseph. She is in the hospital frequently and many times I feel it is unnecessarily. She says she has a hard time breathing. Her oxygen levels are fine the nurses don't really have much to say and don't sound to concerned. I will be going to see her on Sunday.

Prayers for Staci's sister Traci

The following is an email that one of our Small Group members sent out last night.
Thanks for caring and praying.

This morning Staci's sister, Traci Olson, was in a head on collision going to work. Someone came into her lane and she could not react quick enough. They took her by life flight from Arkansas to Springfield. Because her pelvic bone and lower back is so bad, they need to life flight her to Columbia. But, she was not stable enough today. They are planning to get her there tomorrow for surgery.

One of the children in the other car was killed. The mother and her other child were also seriously injured.

One of our neighbors drove Staci to Springfield this morning to be with her sister. The kids and I will meet them in Columbia on Friday.

We don't need anything other than prayers for both families.

Thanks,
Bill
