And last but not least, please pray for Andre' Johnson and family. They buried their father, Elijah Johnson Sr. on Monday, March 31.

Good afternoon my brothers and sister. I need your prayers again. A friend and evangelist, Angela Stampley, at the church that I attend request the prayers of the saints for her mother. Her mother apparently had a stroke and she is not responding. We need to pray for God’s healing power, but if He chooses not to heal, that His mercy and love will be with her and the family. Thanx in advance.

Good Afternoon Fellow Prayer Warriors,
Just an update and a request that you continue lifting my mother, Mildred Inez, in your prayers.
Mother is still in the Intensive Care Unit at CMMC. There are good progressive days and there are days where her illness remains stable. She is still having dialysis on M-W-F, even with the dialysis she has fluid build up and now she needs to have a chest tube inserted to remove the fluid but on Friday she was not strong enough for the surgical procedure. Please pray for her endurance of this procedure, the removal of fluid would help wing her from the respirator. "One Day At A Time"
Continue to pray for God's healing of our mother and continued strength of her family...
With sincere thanks and many blessings to you and yours...

Good Morning Everyone,
I am so grateful for the prayers from everyone! Thank you for keeping me uplifted before our great and mighty God, through our Lord, Jesus Christ. Words cannot express the level of confidence and strength given by all of your continuous, fervent prayers. I had no idea that so many people cared about me! Even those that have not even met me have been calling, emailing me and placing me on their prayer list. I have had friends to come by to visit me and to pray for me personally.The pastors at my church laid hands on me to pray for healing from the Lord. All I can say is that God is so good! I had my CT Scan early yesterday morning and one of my doctors called me late last night to tell me that the results were good news and that the cancer has not spread! I will meet with the oncologist(cancer doctor) this morning to discuss my situation. I am not afraid of facing tomorrow because I am being carried by all of your prayers. Please continue to pray for me and I will keep everyone updated.
Luv you guys,
Tara

Good evening everyone. The Lanier Class of '82 family needs your prayers for Jimmy and Darlene Black. Their home and everything that was in it including the automobiles was destroyed by fire tonight. I know that we will definitely pray for them, but if anyone can give a helping hand in anyway that you can please do so. I did talk to Darlene for a moment tonight, and she said that no one got hurt. But they lost everything, so I know that they are hurting inside. They are thankful and blessed that no one was hurt during the fire.
Thank you in advance,
Ricky Douglas
