I forgot to mention Mr. Billy Brabham this morning, but I have new information that is different so it is just as well.

Continue to pray for Wendell Simmons as he has surgeries to help him recover from his motobike accident. Wendell is still in Jackson,MS.
Smiley Conerly is better. Thank you for praying for him.
Donald Ray Cutrer
Donald Ray got to come home and he is doing well. He will still have to take the IV medications for another 6 weeks, but the doctors and nurses showed hin how to administer that. They placed a shunt or whatever it is called in his arm and he gives the drip to himself twice daily. The drip takes about one hour to administer and then he is through for the next twelve hours and he starts all over again.
Thanks to all for your prayers, but still pray for him as he goes through the next six weeks. He feels so much better now that he is at home.
His sugar level now is from 100 to 156 and if it stays that way he can take the meds by mouth instead of the Insulin shots. I sure hope the pills work. Well thanks again my Christian friends for your prayers…..
In Christian Love,
Mary Ann Cutrer

ONE DAY, MY husband and I took up racquetball…
Knowing I needed the exercise, I also ventured into the little box that was the court. It seemed a trifle small for the two of us, but it was fun. Having played tennis years ago, in the days of my youth, I managed quite well. However, being thoroughly out of shape, I found myself running furiously in every direction for about twenty minutes and then suddenly collapsing in a whimpering heap in a corner of the court.
My experience reminded me of many Christians. Starting off with great enthusiasm, they leap frantically around, chasing the ball and running themselves into the ground, ending up beaten in a short span of time. This is not the way to play the game. Watch an expert racquetball player, and you see he paces himself well, knowing just where to put his feet. He even finishes a vigorous game with steps left over. The idea is to plod with God, rather than to race through space. Jill Briscoe, “The Other Side of Redemption,” Here Am I, Lord…Send Somebody Else!,79-80
“But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles,
they shall run and not be weary,
they shall walk and not faint.”
Isaiah 40:31
Thank God for another day He has gifted us with. Use it to honor Him!

“I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 13:47)
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 Joachim Rafael Branco of Sao Tome and Principe (Gulf of Guinea, western Africa).
HIDDEN MOUNTAIN PEOPLE OF EAST ASIA. Ask the Father to impress upon local believers not only the great need to reach their neighbors and friends for Jesus, but also the great need to go to the remote places and do whatever it takes to reach the Hidden Mountain people with the Gospel.
KASHMIRI MUSLIMS OF INDIA (KASH-meer-ee). Give thanks to God for answering your prayers by providing amazing opportunities to interact with several government agencies and tourism groups in the area through a visiting expert. After visiting several new areas in the valley, workers believe that a new project might open doors in new villages for local believers to earn a livable wage, and for lost families living in poverty to hear the Good News.
Pray for Jennie and the children as they prepare to travel here for a brief family visit.

Stacy Scarle
Just a brief update on Stacey. We saw the oncologist on Friday. She reports the the bone scan and heart echo were fine. This is great news. We only have the CTs left and that will be at the end of the month. She thinks Stacey is doing fine. She has lost all of her hair and Darla cut the remaining straglers last night. She wears her wig and has named her “Maude”. She says Maude doesn’t like to be around a lot of people and that she creeps up her head when she is ready to go home. I can’t vouch for that but I know when she gets that look that we better be heading home. Of course we only go out for Drs, drug store and groceries so it isn’t that often. She stil has a good attitude and is positive that she will be ok. She continues to pray for a miracle and says when she sees the surgeon there won’t be anything to operate on. I pray she is correct. Keep praying for her as she goes through this ordeal. The last few weeks have been trying. Thanks for your cards and calls they really help.
Wendell Simmons
Wendell Simmons had a motorcycle racing accident over the weekend. He is now hospitalized at University Hospital in Jackson, MS. Wendell has a broken tibia as well as a hip problem. Pray for Wendell as he is treated and healing in the coming months.

Smiley is dealing with a case of pneumonia. Pray he can beat it soon with no additional problems.

“God reigns over the nations; God sits on His holy throne,’” (Psalm 47:8, NKJV).
Dear Intercessors, this is Eleanor Witcher of the Office of Global Prayer Strategy, encouraging you to pray for clear communication and language acquisition.
Join the Bozo Team in praising God as they write: “Though they could say a total of about six words in the language, two volunteers came to share the Word . . . and share they did! Each night that they stayed in the small Bozo camp, the two college-age young women would take out their English Bible and the Bambara Bible they had been lent and ask permission to read it aloud. They received the blessing of their host to do so, and with the offer to stop when needed, they began to read the Word of God to this family. When stopping for a break, they were urged to continue and soon had the attention of the man who positioned himself close enough to read along. This continued for three nights. The young women came back fulfilled and excited, while the remnant of what was read remains to be pondered by the family. This Bozo family heard the Truth from two young women who couldn’t even say a whole sentence in the language.”
“Learning new languages can be very rewarding and even a fun experience as one begins to communicate with the nationals in their heart language. However, for so many, this can be a very discouraging time. Mature, well-educated and eager missionaries often find themselves barely speaking like a 2 year old after months of studying a language. It is a humbling time for them. Please pray with us for our missionaries in the Zambezi Cluster who continue to work on their language acquisition. It is an ongoing learning process”
* Please pray that Christian workers all will be able to communicate the Gospel in ways that the people truly understand.
* Give thanks for the perseverance of volunteers as the persistently share the Gospel even without language skills.
* Intercede for the nations that God will draw them to salvation and to His holy throne.
Have a great Lord’s Day! Spend some time with your Heavenly Father and your earthly father if possible.

I have given them Your Word …
John 17:14 (NIV)
Donald Cutrer and KaLeigh Powers
Donald had to have a second surgery on his knee Wednesday as the infection was getting really bad again. He is still in the hospital. I went to visit him yesterday and he tells me he is doing fine, but I was there when they re-dressed his knee and it sure looked bad. I am sure the good Lord and the medications will see him through this. He has what they call MARSA and some of it had gotten to the bone, but the doctors assured us they had gotten it all this time. He will be on antibiotics for another 6 weeks which will be given via an infusion. Please continue to pray for him.
I took KaLeigh this morning for her stitches to be removed, but the doctor wanted to leave them another week. She was very disappointed about that. Otherwise she is doing fine. Thanks again for the prayers.
In Christian Love,
Mary Ann Cutrer
Pray for the family who lost four children and an unborn grandchild in a train/van accident north of Independence yesterday afternoon. Pray for their spiritual health through this very difficult time. Also, pray for the emergency responders who worked this accident.
Pray for the safety of people who do not have air conditioning during this hot weather. Pray they will find ways to stay cool enough to assure their health and comfort.

TODAY’S PRAYER
IMB
JUNE 18, 2010
“Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.” (Psalm 54:2)
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 Sailele Malielegaoi Tuila’epa of Samoa (southwestern Pacific Ocean, between Hawaii and New Zealand).
CITY OF SOUTHERN SONG, CHINA. There are more than 30,000 university students on a campus where Christian workers teach, and only a handful of students have ever heard the name of the one holy God. Students are warned against foreign religions and encouraged to report anyone who talks about Christianity. Give thanks to God that some students have formed a weekly Bible-study group. Pray that the group can find a safe meeting place. Pray for each of these students to open their hearts to receive His free gift of salvation. chopsticks@pobox.com
LAST FRONTIER. As workers continue to live and teach among a Last Frontier people group that is the majority people group in their area, they see minority groups that have believers and teachers among them. But this majority group is still without a church or a Bible study group. Through IMB World Hunger Funds, a “pig project” is being started in this difficult-to-reach area among this majority people group. Through this pig project, in addition to skills being taught for raising pigs, spiritual principles will be taught to young believers and training will be provided to them so they can go out and share physical and spiritual knowledge with their lost neighbors. Please remember Mr. B and his family as they prepare to move to the pig project site and begin to teach. Ask for physical and spiritual safety. Intercede for the authorities as well, as it was less than three years ago that Mr. B was thrown out of this area for having a house church in his relative’s home.
Have a great day! Count your blessing today!
