Praise and Prayer Updates A Prayer Chain x Martha Way LaBelle Community PRAISE AND PRAYER December 25, 2014 “She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, He will save His people from their sins.” Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet:” BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL,” which translated means, “GOD WITH US.”(NASB) I thank and praise God for those in our community who pray for others. A special thanks if you have been thoughtful enough to help with updates. It is a wonderful help! You may call us (Randy and Martha J. Way) (675-2785) or email us at labelleprays@gmail 1. PRAYERS FOR THOSE IN ST. JUDE: Many of the families that have sick children at St. Jude are always asking for prayer for the other families there. So, we will continue to do that in this space. St. Jude is a blessing from the Lord with their research and their compassionate policy of children receiving needed medical help. So, as you spend time with the Lord, please remember to lift up those suffering with various forms of cancer that are being treated at St. Jude and at other hospitals. We are in prayer for the many families that are suffering for their children, and we pray especially for those that have lost their babies and children to disease. We thank Him for the doctors and nurses and pray for His wisdom and care as they minister to others. 2. PRAYING ALWAYS: Our prayers are made for all children and others everywhere that have been diagnosed with cancer. We pray to our Almighty God, our Creator, Lord and Savior for there to be tremendous advances and a cure and eradication of this disease in its many forms 3.SALVATION: Dewey,Vincent, Claudette Sellers, Patricia Doub, Larry Bunning, a child, Kacey Miller, Jay Anderson, Larry Bush, Bob’s family, Rhonda, Gertrude and family, Bob, Hilton, Ronald Tanant and wife, Joyce King, Jewel, James, Randy Mellwood, Jennifer, Janet, George Crawford, Laurie and husband Randy and daughter Rachel, Mark and his family, family of newborn that died, Mike Herrera, Connie, Samantha, Jack, Ginger, Donny, Don, Shirley and Jay and a daughter, Greg MacDonald, Rudy N., and family, and Donnel, John Ledbetter, a man, Richard Lawson, family of Crystal, Yamet Montanigro, Jerry 4. PRAYERS FOR HER: Betty Edwards has many health problems. Please lift her to the Lord. Remember Bill her husband, also. We remember this family in our prayers. 5. PRAYERS FOR YOUR MIRACLE FATHER: Betty Courtney has been diagnosed with a lung disease and is undergoing lung therapy and rehabilitation. She will have PET and CAT scans periodically to monitor her condition. Betty is on oxygen 20 hours/day at this time. Doctors have found some spots in inoperable areas in her lungs they believe are cancer. She will be having a biopsy soon. Remember to pray for David her husband. David has been diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis. In this disease, one’s immune system produces antibodies that block or destroy many of one’s muscles’ receptor sites between the nerves and the muscles. With fewer receptor sites available, the muscles receive fewer nerve signals, resulting in weakness. The prednisone David has had to be on has caused him to be diabetic. He is having many issues with blood sugar levels fluctuating. Remember this couple as they strive to help each other through these very hard times. 6. THANK YOU FATHER AND OUR PRAYERS CONTINUE FOR HIM: Wally Fallin got a cancer free report. The doctor said everything looked good. He had an ultra sound on his kidneys, and that showed the cyst was a bit smaller than 6 months ago. The infectious disease doctor said his lungs looked and sounded good, and the CT scan was much improved. All pneumonia is gone with just some scar tissue. Wally will continue on antibiotics for another year as the bacteria is slow growing and very slow to cure. Wanda and Wally know the Lord is enabling them daily, and they give Him all of the thanksgiving and glory. They are trusting His care in all areas. Thank You Father for caring for them. 7.

Update from Steve & Dee Allen 12-10-2014 Our BIG concern is Hannah’s adoption as the deadline is less than 2 weeks away now (Dec.24th is Hannah’s birthday to become 14 which by local law disqualifies her from being adopted). Please pray that the adoption will be approved before Dec. 24th. Update from Gary & Sharon Tiner 12-10-2014 My step sister, Jerry Lee Moss, went to be with her Lord last Saturday. She lived with her only child, Sharon Burchfield, in Arkansas. Sharon is not only having to deal this loss but also has acquired an unexpected debt for the burial expenses since she is the sole breadwinner for her family. Please pray for God’s comfort for her and for His provision for this financial need. Her funeral was Weds., 12/10, at 2pm. Gary’s 1st message was this past Sunday on series named “Overseers, Elders and Deacons” was translated well by Hubert and responded to well by the congregation. All praise go to God whom spoke through Gary & Hubert. Please pray for “Xiang” to accept Christ in faith as her Savior. She heard the Gospel for the first time in her life during this service and had many questions after the service as God appears to be drawing her to Himself. There was a 2nd lady (I can not remember her name) also being drawn. She came from an hour away and committed to return this weekend to learn more about the love of Jesus. Gary & Hubert are bringing the 2nd message of this series on Sunday, Dec. 14. Sharon is training several children’s teachers each Weds. night at our home on the true meanings of Christmas as well as preparing the costumes and the script for the Christmas program on Fri. night, Dec. 19th. Gary & Hubert & Pastor Steve will also soon be preparing for the Christmas Eve candle light service with the Lord’s supper. In His service, Gary Tiner Update from Jesse and Kristen Kroll Our prayers continue with this family as they faithfully minister to the Lord. We pray for each area they work and teach/preach in, and for all that is done to give the Lord all glory and praise. Jesse and a friend have been able to share the redemptive story of God, from creation to Jesus’ wonderful works, sacrifice, and resurrection. Jesse has also been a part of training tribe pastors and evangelists. PRAISES Kristen is back to normal after Dengue Fever Trinia and Kristen got to share Jesus’ love through a sort of “Prodigal Daughter” dance recital at a Thai girls’ juvenile detention center. Her dance class has another opportunity at an orphanage on Christmas Eve night! Net, a young Thai man who is seeking, came to Sang Phraphon Church with a Christian friend. Jesse got to share the Gospel with him and give him a Thai New Testament. Kristen is making an impact ministering through free speech therapy to Thai and expat families. PRAYER REQUESTS Kristen’s dad is recovering from colon cancer surgery. Uanbu, the new believer in NaaBua, the Mien village where we’re helping to plant a church, is doing well.

Tsanchong the witch-doctor has said his heart has already gone on to Jesus, but his family is still pressuring him to continue in his occult job. Please pray for the many Christmas outreaches planned with our Thai partner churches. Update from Josh and Amber Payne Their Christmas parties went really well. They had parties for two nights and there were a total of 55 that attended. It was a joy to share the Gospel, and they are looking forward to the follow-up meetings. Their labors of love for the Savior have had many positive results. Jesus is building His church. Students are maturing into leaders and reaching their friends for Christ. There are many opportunities to share the Gospel. More students are attending Bible studies. Praise and Prayer Military Please send names to labelleprays@gmail or call Randy and Martha J.
