The Lord has heard our prayers and in His Will -- seen fit to bless Little Tait's family with a BIG blessing... Praise be to the Lord!

May 27 -- Update: Thanks to the blessing of God, and His working through the thousands of people who supported us, we have met our June 3 goal of $51,644 a week early! Honestly, we never expected to receive this much response, and are in awe of the Lord's mercy and power! We are still waiting for negotiation on the $650,000 hospital to be completed, and are working on the "small" miscellaneous bill, which total over $15,000. We appreciate your continued prayer and support, and will keep everyone updated as we hear back from the hospital and other doctors.Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in thechurch by Christ Jesus throughout all ages world without end. Amen! Ephesians 3:20-21

Psalm 9:9-10 promises: "The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble".

This prayer request for Little Tait urges a request for prayer! Prayer for perseverance, faith, and trust in days of trial. Please lift up this precious little boy to the throne of grace along with our team! To find out more about this young man's story, additional needs and picture sideshows - please see Little Tait's Website.

My name is Tait Zimmerman Jr. and I am a little baby boy who, without the help of modern medicine, dedicated care and God's hand, would not be alive today! I was born 3 months before I should have been and am miraculously doing well today. I spent the first three months of my life in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, cared for by some terrific doctors and nurses! Now my mommy and daddy have to get creative to pay the hospital, doctors and the whole team who took care of me. We are currently attempting to raise $51,644 by June 3rd. If we do not raise that amount by the 4th, then our bill will be turned over to collections, and will skyrocket to the original total of $186,769. With God's blessing, work on our part, and the help of the body of Christ, it can be done! WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!

Psalms 40:1 ~ "I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

Great news! After a very long day, Jo**** is finally home with his daddy.....God is an amazing and faithful God. Please continue to pray as Ja*** does all he can to KEEP Jo*** safe.

Psalms 55:22 ~ Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved

Dear All,

Mrs. Amy McPhearson was my momma's best friend while growing up. They have maintained a close relationship still.

Ten years ago Mrs. McPhearson underwent surgery to try and rid her brain of cancer, and it didn't appear for that whole time. Within the past week she had been having a very hard time remembering things, and we now know that the cancer is back for certain, and according to the doctors she has very little time left.

We serve a God who doesn't follow medical rules; He is sovereign and all powerful! How we would rejoice if He healed her! However, if His will is to take Miss Amy home to Him (yes, rejoice! she is a Christian!) then who are we to ask otherwise?

She is married and has a young daughter. Please pray that the Lord would comfort them and her mother and father, and bring them closer to Him!

Also, please pray for her father who is having a hard time coming to grips with his daughter's situation. He seems to be trying to block it out from his head by keeping himself very busy, and has yet to visit her in the hospital.

Pray that Miss Amy won't be in pain, that she would rest in her Savior, and that the Lord's will would be done.

Glory be His,
Rach

Dear Friends,

Please lift up our Rachel's little sister, as she has come down with strep. Pray for quick healing and comfort for this dear girl!

"Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."

As I'm sure you know, there are many Muslims turning to Christ in the Middle East, which is not exactly the most welcome corner of the world for a Follower of Christ. There is one man who has been separate from his family for as long as I can remember, and has been trying to flee the PA (Palestinian Authorities) and leave his country. He has seen his family and been able to help support them through a small business, but their contact was minimal and seldom at best. He was recently brought away to safety, but his family has not been so blessed. Only one of his sons is with him now, and they are working on getting his two older boys out (it will be harder because they are over 18) You will have to forgive me, but I can't really release every little detail (I don't even know them all) due to the risk of the authorities, who are not very happy with Christians.


There is a huge shortage of "Harvesters" in Israel and neighboring countries, "Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few" therefore let us pray that there be more ministers raised up. Please pray for Providential protection and peace to be upon 'S's family, and on those who are helping coordinate their exodus. In addition, let us not forget to pray for the PA and those who oppress our brothers and sisters "...and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you..."

By the Grace of God, and for His Glory,

Blessed be the Name of the Lord! Please pray for the family and close friends as they cling onto Jesus for hope.

Thank you for earnestly beseeching the Lord for our dear friends, the K***** sisters. Caitlin joined her sister in heaven on April 24. The neurosurgeon determined on April 23 that she had no brain activity, but they kept her on on life support overnight while waiting for organ recipients to be lined up. The girls were both homeschooled, strong believers, and faithful workers for God's kingdom.

We are grieving for the loss of these two beautiful girls, but rejoice to know that Christ has overcome death and the grave. They have now entered a glorious eternity with their Savior that is greater than anything we can imagine. Please continue to pray for comfort for their parents. They are showing strong faith in the Lord, yet are still in shock and grief. These were their only two children.

Today at about noon Caitlin went to be with her Lord.

Thursday, April 23, 7:12

Please continue to pray for this family, as Faith just passed away. We morn with them, as they will miss their precious daughter, and rejoice with her as she is now praising her King in His house, completely healed.
Caitlin is still on life support, with severe brain trauma, so pray fervently for her!

Our God is mighty, loving, and wise.

Brethren,
Two sisters, Faith and Caitlin K., were just in a car accident with a semi truck, and are now in the hospital, and desperately needing your prayers! Our God is a great Healer, and nothing is too great for Him.
So please lift up these girls and their family as they struggle for their lives. Pray for strength, faith, and complete healing.


John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

Brothers and sisters,

Our brother in China, Gao Zhisheng, has been kidnapped for his work as a Christian Attorney, defending and aiding Christians under persecution.

He was seen being hauled away on February 4th, and he has not been seen or heard from since. He has a wife and two children who are very worried for him, and have been very anxious to have him back in their home again.

Please keep this man and his family in your prayers. That Gao would be strong for his Savior and that his family would trust God and remain faithful. Pray that the Lord would be gracious to them all!

There is no greater honor than to suffer for our Savior.

In Jesus,
Rach

On March 5, Marzieh Esmaeilabad and Maryam Rustampoor were arrested by Iranian security forces and labeled "anti-government activists," according to Farsi Christian News Network (FCNN). Marzieh and Maryam are being held at Evin Prison, which is notorious for treating women badly. "Both women are allowed just a one minute telephone call everyday to their immediate families. Both are unwell and in need of urgent medical attention," FCNN reported. During their last call on March 28, Mazieh said that she was suffering from an infection and high fever. She said, 'I am dying.'

Marzieh and Maryam's apartment was searched and their belongings were confiscated. "Their only crime is that they are committed Christians who follow the teachings of Jesus," FCNN added. 'They are being unfairly labeled as 'anti government activists' because of the hostility of the government towards practicing Christians.'

Please remember those who are suffering in bonds for our Lord's holy name. They need support and encouragement from their brethren around the world.


In Him,


Ceira
