when the Holy Spirit has come upon you;
and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem,
and in all Judea and Samaria,
and to the end of the earth.”

KaLeigh Powers
Just got the most wonderful news. The doctor told Debbie that the nodules that were removed from KaLeigh were not malignant and was nothing for her to worry about. Her stitches are to be removed Friday. Praise God for answered prayers and thank you my Christian friends for your prayers. Continue to remember her as she heals after the stitches are removed. Isn’t GOD good!!!
When her Mom told her, she was so happy that she ran to my house to tell me and of course, I was just elated to hear the good news. Thanks again.
In Christian Love,

“If you serve me, my Father will honor you,” (John 12: 26b, CEV).
Dear Intercessors, this is Eleanor Witcher of the Office of Global Prayer Strategy, joining several engaging churches in prayer as they reach out to people groups in western Africa.
Central Baptist Church of Jonesboro, Arkansas, will be fielding a youth drama team among the K people of Cote d’Ivoire. They ask: “Pray for all necessary preparations to be made, as well as effectiveness on the field. Pray also that we will be able to bring key K people from each village where we have seen salvations to a common meeting place for intense discipleship.”
First Baptist Church of Asheboro, N.C., is working among the U people of Nigeria. “There is a wonderful Nigerian man named H who, with his family, is living among the U people and working with them as their pastor. Pray that our team base will continue to grow so that we can visit the U on a more consistent basis.”
First Baptist Church of Powell, Tenn., ministers among the B people of Nigeria. New believers
“have been experiencing various levels of persecution for their faith in our Father. Our next team to the villages will be in the fall after the rainy season. . . . Continue to pray for our Nigerian brothers and sisters from the local churches in G town. Ask the Father to instill in them a heart for reaching out to the B people.”
HighPoint Fellowship of Splendora, Texas, is working among the P people of Mali. “One team celebrated with a blind woman the freedom she has found in her faith in Jesus. When asked why she loves Him so much, she said, ‘He took away the demons and helps me every day. I love Him and want to follow Him.’”
* Please pray that many will hear the truth of Christ and choose to follow ‘the Jesus Road.’
* Pray for the hearts of engaging church members to be drawn to get involved; especially that they will be faithful to pray.
* Lift up our African co-laborers who are discipling new believers.

BUSY SIGNALS ON the telephone rank near the top of my own personal list of ordinary, everyday irritants…
That pulsating tone that fills the ear always seems to be an insult, and although I try hard not to, I someties take it personally that someone is not eagerly awaiting my call — and my call alone.
Some businesses, knowing that busy signals drive callers to their competitors, arrange to plug incoming calls into a recording that keeps reminding the callers that they’re on “hold” and will be enthusiastically answered in a moment or two. Some others even switch the line over to the bland melodies by Muzak. But no matter how you look at it, someone at the other end of the line is too “busy” to talk right now.
Children hear frequent busy signals in homes where fathers are less than effective. No home is without some busy signals, of course. But we live in a day when many children are confronted with far too many messages from their fathers which amount to, “Don’t bother me! I’m tied up!”
Leisure, appointments, deadlines, money, and other objects of adult interest seem to outpoint any conceivable concerns a “mere child” might have. The normal response when the concerns of a child conflict with those of an adult is to select the more “mature” use one’s time and attention. We reason: a child has plenty of time; he can always wait a while; put him on hold; give him the old busy signal. He’ll understand.
Why is it then that the child doesn’t understand? Why is it that when he has heard enough busy signals from the same person, he “dials” another number? There are a lot of fathers of teenagers asking that kind of question today. Gordon MacDonald, “No Busy Signals Here,” The Effective Father, 111-112
“The righteous cry out,
and the Lord hears,
and delivers them out of all their troubles.”

Have a wonderful day!
