TODAY’S PRAYER
IMB
MARCH 31, 2011
“In an acceptable time I have heard You,
and in the day of salvation I have helped You.”
~Isaiah 49:8a~
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 Chief Minister Rueben Meade of Montserrat (island in the Caribbean Sea, southeast of Puerto Rico).
HAUSA OF WEST AFRICA (HOW-suh). “At night, we fall asleep to the sound of witchdoctors dancing and banging their drums. In the morning, we hear the Muslim call to prayer, awakening the whole town. Join us in praying that the Spirit will move in this place and the Lord will call the Hausa to Himself.”
SOUTH ASIAN UNENGAGED PEOPLES. Can you imagine a life that revolves around washing and ironing clothes? That has been the life of millions of families all across India for centuries. These are the Dhobi people of India. The word Dhobi means “washerman.” Please pray for the Dhobi who live in Andhra Pradesh and speak Telugu. These families teach their children to do what they have done all of their lives: take care of the clothes of others. An iron is even part of a girl’s dowry when she is married to a Dhobi man. Along with their occupation in life, Hinduism is also passed down to each generation. Each family makes sure to teach their children the proper way to worship the various family gods, such as Shiva, Ganesh, etc. Would you pray that the Dhobi will come to know the true God who can once and for all eternity make them clean and spotless before Himself, unlike the clothes that they have to wash day after day? http://prayerthreads.imb.org
Heart to Heart with Holley: Beyond the Clouds
Posted: 30 Mar 2011 08:31 AM PDT
I stare at the grey-rain sky.
The clouds have rolled in this week.
I feel it in my heart too–
little puffs of fear, worry, distraction.
But then I remember…
The sun is still there, just like always.
It’s as real as ever.
It hasn’t gone anywhere.
It’s the same way with my heart.
Behind those emotions…
I am loved.
I have a purpose.
God is all and all is well.
That’s as true as it has always been.
Always will be.
Even more certain than the sun.
Faith is being sure of what we hope for
“Rejoice always,
pray without ceasing,
in everything give thanks;
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
~1 Thessalonians 5:16-18~

Associational WMU meeting tomorrow morning at FBC, Greensburg at 10:00. Bring a covered dish for lunch.
Roger Pittman’s surgery scheduled for in the morning has been postponed until next Tuesday. Someone else has a greater need for surgery in the morning. Roger didn’t have any idea who that person is, but you can pray for someone having heart surgery in McComb in the morning. God knows who they are.

A Memorial Service for William Bobby Gill will be held Sunday, April 3rd at 2 PM, in the sanctuary of the United Methodist Church in Kentwood. Friends and relatives are invited to attend. Memorial contributions may be made to the charity of your choice.
Thank-you for praying us through a terrible thunderstorm this afternoon. We rode through hail for many miles. I was able to speak to some wonderful Christian women on a topic near and dear to my heart – missions! We are safely home now.
Rev. Jeff Phillips was injured in an automobile accident in Haiti. He took the time to write to say he is better. Continue to pray for him as he has surgery Friday.
Thank you for praying for me and my family… I am back at home in LA awaiting facial surgery on Friday, April 1st, to reconstruct the broken bones in my face. The brain contusion stopped hemorrhaging shortly after the wreck… so no further concerns remain with that. And Charity has recouped from her pneumonia as well.
Thank you so much for your prayerful concern!
All for Jesus!
Please pray for me tonight as I share with a group in Lexie, Mississippi tonight. Also, pray for me as I travel. I understand the weather is going to be ugly.
Virginia McKenzie just called to say Chloe’s surgery has been delayed until Friday because Chloe has thrush. This gives us more time to pray before the surgery. I pray we all do our part in supporting this little gift from God.

Jadon’s Story: Medicine changes and new tricks
The increase in vimpat has made my seizures worse. They are more
intense and they are waking me up at night. We are going to decrease
my vimpat and increase my banzel some more. Hopefully this will help.
So here we go again. Please pray that they decrease. On a good note
I’m saying bye bye now. I’m more vocal than ever. I’m saying dada one
minute and bye bye the next. I’m also blowing kisses. Im just too
sweet. Love ya and thanks for praying.
(Thank God for the progress Jadon has made. He’s come a long way already. Continue to pray for his family as they fight his battle with him each day.)
Mr. Joe Williams is back at home. Continue to pray for Mr. Joe and “Miss” Othelle.
Pray for Roger and Lois Pittman today as he has pre-op procedures in McComb today.
Pray for little Chloe and her family in Kentwood as she has surgery on her heart today. Chloe is only two months old. Additional surgery will be required when she is older. Today’s surgery will be at Children’s Hospital in New Orleans.
Continue to pray for my family as we care for Momma at home.
Mrs. Mary Evelyn Magee McDaniel of Franklinton passed away. She had a number of relatives in Kentwood.
will you go “one day without shoes” with me?
The last two years, I have gone without shoes for one day, supporting the creators ofToms in their efforts to engage American consumers in buying more than just a pair of shoes for themselves. Will you do it with me this year? It’s easy:
See. It won’t hurt a bit. Unless you step on a sharp object. So stay alert and become aware of how much we take for granted getting to wear shoes everyday.
Check out this “one day without shoes” video from Toms. Pretty cool. ALSO – if you can, purchase a “one day without shoes” T-Shirt from Toms and they will give a child a new pair of shoes.
Much love!

Have a terriffic Tuesday!

A call to prayer-
Early this morning, March 28, Dr. Joe Aguillard, President of Louisiana College, was taken to the hospital suffering from an apparent heart attack. Doctors are running tests to determine the best course of treatment for him. As of yet, there is no official word from his cardiologist.
The most important thing Louisiana Baptists can do is pray for Dr. Aguillard, his family and physicians. As more information is available, the LC communications department will post that data.
