Wednesday

“Love one another as I have loved you.”

~John 15:12, NIV~

We briefly visited with three generations of the Kliesch family. Holly Kliesch is preparing to go to the missionary learning center for orientation as she plans to serve as a MK teacher, probably in West Africa. She will be able to use the French she learned as a child when her parents were missionaries. Pray for her as she begins this special portion of her life. Whitney Kliesch is leaving in a couple days to return to the military. He will be heading to Iraq for his second tour. Pray for him and the other young men and women with him. Pray for the parents and the grandparents as they release two of their family members to serve overseas.

Joan Hagan’s daugher, Rachel O’Brian, requests prayer for two families:

• Wayne Wales family of the Easleyville area
• Bobby and Shirley Landers who both have health issues

Joan requests prayer for her aunt, Mrs. Elaine Bennett, as she faces surgery. You can pray for her as she has a 2:30 appointment today.

Joan also reported her mother, Mrs. Betty Bethel, got a good medical report yesterday. Thank God for her good news.

Continue to pray for Kathy Dyer. She’s still in ICU following Monday’s surgery.

Please remember Charlotte Craig (Team Romania) and her family in prayer. Her father, James Preston Cox, passed away today. Ron will be traveling to Tennessee tomorrow to be with her so remember him as he travels. Charlotte flew to Tennessee a little over a week ago to see her father and be with her family.

Blessings,

Donna

It’s time to begin to pray for those in the path of another hurricane, Gustav. My friend and former coworker, Amber Anthony of Tickfaw, is expecting a baby at any time. Her doctor will induce Wednesday if the baby is not born before them. This is a portion of her latest email.

We talked a lot today about the hurricane situation, and I have been praying for God to dissolve the storm completely…I don’t want to wish it on Texas or Mexico…I just want it to disappear! Thanks for your prayers and support!!

At this point, the hurricane’s projected paths include our area. Pray for people who might be in the path of Gustav to begin to make necessary preparations. Unless the storm dissolves or turns around and heads back to the Atlantic (ha ha), it will be making landfall somewhere in early next week.

On Mission in Kentwood will be this Saturday at 8 A.M. Meet at the church for donuts and an assignment. There’s a job for everyone. Come be blessed as God blesses others through you.
