Friday

“Don’t worry about anything,

but in everything,

through prayer and petition with thanksgiving,

let your requests be made known to God.”

Andy Davidson

Mrs. Fay Raborn asked us to pray for her daughter’s sister-in-law.

Please pray for Andy Davidson who is very sick. Andy is sister-in-law
of Becky Raborn Davidson and is a patient at North Oaks. She will
appreciate your prayer support so much.

Koltyn Gafford

According to Koltyn’s dad, yesterday was not a good day for Koltyn, so let’s pray extra hard today.

Update: 1-22-15

Koltyn didn’t have a good day today, very fussy and didn’t want anybody touching him, his O2 level is a little low, and he’s getting a breathing treatment to take care of that, so please keep praying that he gets a good nights rest and has a great day tomorrow.

Devotional, Scripture and a Song

  • “When Others Won’t Forgive” – http://odb.org/
  • Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.                   But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind                                               and straining toward what is ahead,                                                                         I press on toward the goal to win the prize                                                           for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.                                                                                                                  -Philippians 3: 13-14-

Camp Living Waters

Today, Monica picked up the items from the church that we had collected.  She was pleased and said she could use EVERYTHING to help set up the five trailers.  What she needs now is one coffee pot and two small microwaves.  If you have these items, please let me know.  Used is fine.

Tues, Bro. Ronnie gave us some very practical ideas about how we can minister and meet needs in our communities.  I’ll share a few of them here:

  • Free outdoor concerts
  • Block parties (The association has equipment that can be used.)
  • Uniform drives
  • Backyard Bible Clubs
  • Tutoring
  • Helping with transportation to appointments, church, etc.
  • Child care
  • Teaching parenting skills

Bible Study this morning – Rhoda (Acts 12: 12-17)

Read the Bible in 2015 – Isaiah 12-17

I hope you found some concerns to pray about and some helping information.  Thanks for looking up and reading this post.  May God be honored and glorified!

This is a letter from Camp Living Waters about the need for volunteers and meals in March.  Who is available and willing?

January 21, 2015

Monday, March 23, 2015 – Friday, March 27, 2015, Camp Living Waters will have the Campers on Missions working at the camp.  Campers on Missions (COM) is a group of folks from all over the state.  They build, repair, paint and maintain church camp facilities and Louisiana College.  COM has served by getting the facilities ready for the spring and summer camps.   The camp provides the materials and supplies for the projects.   Because they are willing to minister to us by their hard work, we are asking for our local churches to help us by covering the food expense and to bless them by your ministry.

We are asking that your church or group provide either lunch or supper for this group (40 – 60) Monday-Thursday.  I will know for certain on Sunday, March 22 the total number.

We will provide the drinks.

Lunch is served at noon. Lunch is usually something light, such as soup, sandwiches, or hamburgers.  Side items have included chips, salad, or fresh fruit.

Supper is served at 5:30.  In the past supper has been jambalaya, spaghetti, pork, fried chicken and even pizza. Side dishes that compliment the main course are appreciated.  We can provide the garden salad items.

Desserts are not needed as they usually bring enough on their own.

In order for a meal not to be duplicated, please let me know what you wish to provide as soon as possible.  I would like to have the meal schedule completed by Feb 9th, 2015.

We also are asking for volunteers to come to the camp and help out with the breakfast meal.  This would be Monday – Thursday also.  I need 2 volunteers each day from 6:30 – 8:30 a.m.  There is no serving line, but I would need help with clean up.

If you have any questions, please email me or call my home.  985-345-3315.

Thank you so much for your prayers.

In His Service,

Monica Maddox

Operation Christmas Child

Filled paper bags are being turned in.  If you have a bag, please fill it and return to the area across from the kitchen.  If you, as an individual, do not have a bag, please get one or more, fill them, and return them as soon as possible.  We have a lot of boxes to fill to make many little hearts smile at the end of the year.

Thank-you! 

I often present needs here and you graciously respond to these needs.  For example:

  • Monica Maddox is coming from Camp Living Waters Friday to pick up the items you donated.
  • We are approaching our goal for Lottie Moon.  The “candy cane” is looking real good!
  • You donate to Hope Center and give of your time to volunteer there.
  • We filled more shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child than we have ever done before.

Thank you for the many ways you show the love of God (and others) dwells in your heart!

Read the Bible in 2015 – Job 5-6

Have a great day.  May your life abound with blessings.

Please continue to pray for my friend, Martha Pevey Dagro, and her granddaughter, Macy Gueldner.  They are both being treated for cancer.

Bro. Ronnie did a great job speaking at the WMU yesterday.  I’m so thankful he had so many simple ideas for missions.  If you were not there yesterday, as someone who was.

Monday Midday

Continue to pray for Mr. Bobby Lawson and for Mr. Alan Ray Blackwell.  They are both at home under the good care of both hospice and family members.

Also, continue to pray for Mansell Stenson.  He is having more issues related to diabetes.

Connor Hyde is in Children’s Hospital and will be there until the end of the week.  His cystic fibrosis causes extra complications in his care.  Thank God for facilities that can care for the various needs people, especially children, have.

My internet is being difficult this morning, so I will be very brief.

Frank Fury, husband of Lynn Lea, formerly of Russelltown, will have a heart ablation at Ochsmer’s in New Orleans.  Pray for him, too, please.

Koltyn Gafford – BETTER!

(Written by his mom)   Koltyn had a good day today. Got moved back to the Rehab floor but had to move rooms to be closer to the nurses station. Momma got to bathe him in a tub for the first time and he did wonderful.

{(Written by his Poppy(grandpaw)}  It is really amazing how this 2 yr. little boy has touched so many people he brought so many people together and touched so many hearts I think God has bless more than one of us

Macy Gueldner

(Written by her mother)  I was hoping that Macy would have an easier time this week than she usually has. This is, by far, her most painful week out of the month. However, it’s the first time that she didn’t get chemo in her spine, in addition to IV chemo and steroids. So, I hoped that it would lessen her pain, but unfortunately I was wrong. She’s having a really tough time. She’s in a lot of pain, and she’s just miserable. She’s crying through both the days and nights. I know that she’ll feel better in a few days, but it’s hard to watch her suffer. I can’t do anything except hold her and give her pain meds, so I basically feel helpless. Please pray that her little body feels better sooner than later. I want to see her smiling and singing again!
