Rev. Bobby Eads (written by Suzie)
…thank you SO MUCH for your prayers, love and encouragement. The patient and I are home now and he is doing well. The nurses spoiled him throughout the night with lots of choc. ice cream and that helped him to feel better! Again, thanks so much and we love you all! Mostly, we are thankful to our Heavenly Father for how He cares for us and watches us with those eyes of Love and Mercy.

“But when you ask him,
be sure that your faith is in God alone.
Do not waver,
for a person with divided loyalty
is as unsettled as a wave of the sea
that is blown and tossed by the wind. . . .
Their loyalty is divided between God and the world,
and they are unstable in everything they do.”
~James 1:6, 8 (NLT)~
Jesse Dean continues to improve. Keep praying for him . Your prayers are greatly appreciated.
Daddy saw the infections disease doctor yesterday and got a good report. Daddy said he knew he got well because of all the prayers that were said for him. Thanks for your part in helping Daddy get better!

ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER crossing the Red Sea, the Israelites all got sick…
They all caught a deadly virus. It was far more virulent and lethal than the SARS virus that brought death an destruction to our world. It was the G virus — the “grumble” germ…
All but two occurrences of “grumbling” in the Old Testament are found in six chapters of the Pentateuch: Exodus 15, 16, and 17, and Numbers 14, 16, and 17. Of all the sins of the fathers, God counted this one of the worst. It is one of Satan’s most effective weapons because it robs us of God and robs God of us!
Sometimes learning what God thinks about our grumbles helps us to deal with them. First of all, God hears us when we gripe and grumble. Numbers 11:18 says, “The LORD heard you when you wailed.” Over and over again the Bible says that God heard the Israelites’ griping and their grumbling. We need to know that God doesn’t want to hear it!
Our son and daughter-in-law have seven children. There is a sign displayed in a prominent place in their kitchen that says briefly and succintly: “No whining!” Whining is unacceptable behavior to those parents, and it is unacceptable to God . It poisons the environment and spoils relationships. It makes God sad to hear us whine, and it also makes Him mad! “Now the people complained about their hardships in the hearing of the LORD. And when He heard them His anger was aroused” (Numbers 11:1). God wants us to know that wailing and whining are unacceptable behaviors. Jill Briscoe, “The Other Side of Redemption,” Here Am I Lord…Send Somebody Else!, 80-81
“In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18
“Now glory be to God,
who by his mighty power at work within us
is able to do far more
than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of—
infinitely beyond our highest prayers,
desires,
thoughts,
or hopes.”
~Ephesians 3:20 (LB)~
Update (Stacey Scarle)
We got word today that Stacey starts her chemo tomorrow at 9:30. Please pray for her as she begins this process.
Update (Madox Blades)
Just heard from Stephanie Blades, Madox’s grandmother. All test so far are negative. He is eating good but they still can’t seem to break the fever. They are thinking that it is something viral. They must stay at least 48 hours until the cultures come back. Please continue to pray for this precious baby boy and for Heather and Brock as we all know it is not easy to have a child admitted to the hospital in any circumstance. They are very grateful for any prayers.

TODAY’S PRAYER
IMB
MAY 25, 2010
“In my distress I called upon the Lord,
and cried out to my God;
He heard my voice from His temple,
and my cry came before Him,
even to His ears.”
~Psalm 18:6~
WORLD LEADERS. “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence” (1 Timothy 2:1-2). Please pray today for Prime Minister Michael Somare of Papua New Guinea (southeastern Asia).
AMERICAN PEOPLES. Sometimes finding a meeting place is not easy. After several moves, one congregation finally found a Christian woman who told them that they could meet at her house. Unfortunately, her non-Christian husband didn’t want them inside, but he allowed them to use the area between the house and the neighbor’s fence. The space is just wide enough for two folding chairs, a tiny aisle you have to turn sideways to walk down, and one more chair. The preacher stands under a tree at one end of the narrow space, and the congregation stretches back for the length of the house and spills into the front yard when there are too many people to fit in the narrow space between the house and the wall. Pray that God will provide a more adequate meeting place for this and the many other house churches springing up in this spiritual harvest field.
JZ CITY, CHINA. S is a young college student who has decided to follow Jesus. Recently he asked, “How can I really know what God wants me to do with my life?” As he and a believer discussed different passages from the Bible that talked about this, he requested a piece of paper so that he could write them down. Other students present who were not believers listened eagerly and asked other questions. Pray that young men and women in JZ City will understand that they can have real guidance in their lives from the One who has a special plan for each of them. Ask that their lives will be a testimony to those around them who are searching for truth.talthgoeast@pobox.com

Please add Madox Forrest to the prayer link. He is the 2 month old baby son of Heather and Brock Forrest who was admitted to the hospital early this morning. There had not been a diagnosis but he has a high fever. Their family has been through a lot lately and this is one more thing added to the throws of life. Your prayers will be greatly appreaciated.
As for God, his way is perfect;
the word of the LORD is flawless.
He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.

“Let us hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering,
for He who promised is faithful.
And let us be concerned about one another
in order to promote love and good works,
not staying away from our meetings,
as some habitually do,
but encouraging each other.”

Dear Intercessors, this is Eleanor Witcher of the Office of Global Prayer Strategy, encouraging you to pray for new churches.
The head man in the large resettlement village knew the Zimbabwe Evangelism Team was coming. His wife put up a small table, covered it with a tablecloth, and added a vase filled with sunflowers. As soon as team members arrived, the head man began noisily beating the piece of metal hanging from a tree that called all the villagers to an important meeting. Introductions were made and the volunteers shared their testimonies and the Good News of Jesus Christ. Some came forward to accept Christ. Others had been church members before they moved to the resettlement area where there was no church, and came forward to commit themselves to becoming active members of the new church being started. The head man then announced that he was tired of following the old traditional ways because they did nothing for the people. He said he would follow Jesus.
The Kano Katsina Fulbe Team thanks God for the 12 new fellowships that were started this year in Nigeria with 93 new believers. These fellowships are spread out over three states; therefore, team members are unable to visit them on a regular basis.
* Please pray that strong leadership can be developed in each of these fellowships.
* Give thanks for house churches around the world: permission has been granted for Christ Lives Baptist Church in Colima, Mexico, to use an unoccupied house for Sunday morning celebration services; leaders of Nueva Jerusalen in Metropolitan Guadalajara, Mexico have been training to open cell groups in their homes; and a Messianic congregation in Israel has been able to purchase its own meeting place–a floor of a building–despite some persecution.
* Ask God to help your church to grow in love and good works.
Pray for Mrs.Judy Laberto as she undergoes a procedure this week. Pray for her to feel God’s hand on her as He leads her.
