Pray today for

* Shoal Creek and it's mission.
* lost to be found. rubbing up against a community of followers of Christ desperately trying to give away the love, the freedom we've found in Christ
*Group Leadership Community Friday nite...vision cast and caught
*as we finish up the 30days of reading and maybe journaling a love of His word in all who seek to KNOW HIM....more and more people to discover His love letter to us.

Thanks Stacy.....and I guess I wanted you all to know for some reason today I am gonna be praying for all of you....for us. Don't know for sure why, but my heart says pray today and I am going to and wanted to let you know.

Just gonna get real here

Being a host mom sucks. I am trying to make this work. I don't think I am showing Christ's Love like I dreamed I could. Please pray for me. Stacy

The most recent post shows posted by Becky..this is incorrect. Any and all prayer requests added to the Shoal Creek website post here under my name. You would have to ask someone way more cyber literate than me as to the whys of that.
Anyway from the post you can see he asks for our confidentiality...let us all remember that as we find these posts here and pray.

New Prayer Request

New prayer request from Chris Deal:
Roy and Sean, I really dont want this to be more public than you two and your family, but Debbie and I would greatly appreciate your prayers. Things are going well in my job, and Debbie has a couple interviews next week. The main thing is HOMESICK. Not only that, but I find myself asking "what am I doing here"? Especially since there were so many green lights through prayer and the feeling of God's direction with this move. We have tried several Church's, but nothing beats Shoal Creek. We love watching it Live. Anyway, if you know of any churches down here, let me know. Also, thanks for the continued prayers and I will keep you posted. Thanks for giving my Son Brian a great place to worship and share, and I will continue with my faith in God in this journey. Peace and Love with God. Chris Deal

Prayer Request

It is my dad.
He is struggling. He is in ICU at Research. He has a very critical fungal infection in his lungs. He is on a ventilator. They are now having to treat this more aggresivaly which means his transplant kidney will be compromised. But it was already starting to fail. He was not responsive tonight but he is on narcotic sedation now. It will be better tomarrow. His name is Mike Medina. Add him to you prayer list and my mom too, Betty. She is so strong but this is so much.
Thanks.
Teresa

"Philip Yancey is known for asking hard questions about the Christian life. Bestselling classics like Disappointment with God, The Jesus I Never Knew, and What's So Amazing About Grace? have made him one of the contemporary church's most compelling voices. In his new book, Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference? (Zondervan), Yancey once again explores a profound subject from the perspective of a curious and candid observer. Today's Christian recently chatted with the author about Prayer and his journey as a writer."
