From
Karen Bunker:
Dear Prayer Teams,
We have some very serious
things that need our prayers
today. Let us lift up all to
the Lord Of Hosts. Let us
all Praise Him today for His
power and His love. Satan is
at work and we must be on
guard. There is much power
that can be received in
prayer.
____________
The children that Chee Chee
had asked us to pray for are
still missing. Chee is
unclear, as am I, about what
exactly is going on. The
children are 1-1/2 and 2-1/2
so they are very young. We
don't know whether the
children's parents are
married or divorced and they
seem to be handling it
without the help of the
proper authorities.
The most important thing for
us to focus on is that God
will protect these babies
and that these parents,
whoever is in the wrong (it
appears to be the father)
will wake up and realize
that those children's lives
are in jeopardy and they
need to be with whomever it
is who actually has custody.
This is very urgent and
these children need special
prayers for their safety. I
am having to word this
carefully because when
things like this happen I
get very angry at the
"adults" who are using the
children as a pawn against
each other. At this point,
it is the children who need
the help, but this father
(well, all of them) need to
stop putting these children
through this. It is in the
hands of our loving God. So,
Please PRAY FOR THIS
SITUATION TO BE PROPERLY
HANDLED BY THE PROPER PEOPLE
and that God will protect
the children.

THIS IS A MOST HEARTBREAKING
PRAYER REQUEST FROM DAWN
GWIN REGARDING HER COUSIN
AMY:
I've also been deeply
concerned about my closest
to my heart cousin, Amy. She
had her first child last
week and herself has had
infection and been ill ever
since. Yesterday she had 106
(not .6, but 6) fever....so
very dangerous. I started to
email you this prayer
request earlier, but was too
upset, and thought I'd
better just take it to the
Cross, so I did. Amy was put
in ICU this afternoon with
"hundreds of blisters on her
stomach that are travelling
to her breast." They won't
allow her to see her baby or
husband, so she feels pretty
alone, bless her heart, this
is traumatic for a new
Mother. I would appreciate
your prayers as they are
concerned her baby may have
infection, so the whole
family needs prayers. Her
husband is Brazillian and
his name is Dorgival. he
called crying about her
today b/c he's afraid, even
though he is praying very
fervently for her and Emma,
their little girl. Please
put them all on the prayer
list as this is looking
pretty serious.
Thank you! -Dawn
Dawn, this is such a tragic
story. The plagues of this
world seem to be here and it
is so awful when it involves
anyone, but especially the
innocent ones. We will all
be praying for Amy and Emma
and Dorgival and you, too.
Prayer Warriors, please lift
the prayers us that are
needed today and ask our God
to please heal Amy and keep
Emma from this awful
infection.
______________
I also want to remind you
that Cassie Neighbors will
be going back to her doctor
tomorrow to see if her
insemination worked. They
have been so hoping and
praying that God has blessed
them and that they are
pregnant. Please pray for
them as they have been
disappointed so much in the
past and they want it to be
positive results that they
hear tomorrow.
Cassie and Daniel, we are
praying for God's blessing
and are expecting wonderful
news from you tomorrow. We
will be eager to hear the
results.
_________________
Also today , please pray for
us as we go back to
Michael's Internist. He is
still having the pain in his
back and kidney area and,
although the pain was not as
bad for a couple of days
here and there, it has
recently come back with a
vengeance and he is very
weary of the chronic pain it
has left him with. We
couldn't go to the doctor
last week because of the 12"
snow fall that is just now
melting out. I will greatly
appreciate your prayers for
him today and that the
doctors will please get this
figured out and we can both
get some rest (especially
him)
______________
My friend Heather's
recording buddy, Earl Clark,
is much improved and has
been put into a regular
room. They are watching him
carefully but he is back to
his famous "one liners" so
he is definitely improving!
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK,
EARL...........THANK YOU,
LORD!
______________
God's Word says in 1 Peter
5:6-11:
Humble yourselves therefore
under the mighty hand of
God, that he may exalt you
in due time: Casting all
your care upon him; for he
careth for you. Be sober, be
vigilant; because your
adversary the devil, as a
roaring lion, walked about,
seeking whom he may devour:
Whom resist steadfast in the
faith, knowing that the same
afflictions are accomplished
in your brethren that are in
the world. But the God of
all grace, who hath called
us unto his eternal glory by
Christ Jesus, after that ye
have suffered a while, make
you perfect, establish,
strengthen, settle you. To
him be glory and dominion
for ever and ever. Amen.
_________________
God's people are going
through awful times these
days and it is hard to
understand why. The
scripture above warns us
that Satan is lying in wait
for those who are walking
about. Don't let him devour
you. Greater is He that is
in you than he that is in
the world. (1 John 4:4) We
must stand strong in our
faith. Proverbs 3:5-6 says,
Trust in the LORD with all
thine heart; and lean not
unto thine own
understanding. In all thy
ways acknowledge him, and he
shall direct thy paths.
Pray without ceasing and
turn your eyes upon the
Cross of Jesus Christ today.
He WILL bring us through the
fire.
_____________
I will be out for a good
portion of the day, but keep
praying and I will, too. I
will get back with you later
today.
God bless you all today, and
Please Don't Forget to
PRAISE THE LORD!!!
Here is another prayer
request for you before I go.
Please see below this plea
for strength for a family
who lost both the parents
within days of each other.
Mitzi asks prayers for the
surviving children. This is
such a sad thing and I ask
you to remember this family
as they will be facing a
double funeral on Friday
when they will be saying
Farewell to both their
parents.
God bless them and Please
let us lift them up in
prayer and ask God to send
those who can help and
comfort this family. Thank
you, Mitzi for bringing this
to us. PRAYER WARRIORS, GOD
BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU FOR
YOUR FAITHFULNESS.
This is the sweet prayer
request from Mitzi>>>>>>>>>>
Karen,
Our friends Joyce & Tom
Landry both went to be with
the Lord within days of each
other, there will be a
double funeral on Friday, my
request is for their
children having to bury both
parents, that God will fill
them with His Spirit so they
can feel His strength and
comfort.
Please pray for our Military
Families, and especially
Maj. John S. Davidson,
U.S.M.C. and his wife, Carie
and daughter, Cadence.
2 Chronicles 7:14 If my
people, which are called by
my name, shall humble
themselves, and pray, and
seek my face, and turn from
their wicked ways; then will
I hear from heaven, and will
forgive their sin, and will
heal their land.
LOVE TO ALL,
Karen

From
William Osmun:
Folks,
1 slight correction. I had
18 Oct 10 in 1 place and 18
Feb 10 in 2 places. 18 Feb.
10 IS the CORRECT date - the
Oct was a typo - not the
fault of the Army - mine
alone. That is Thurs., this
week, 11 AM - 3 PM, that we
need to be praying for Rob.
Thank you.

Subject: Re: My Friend Rob
Pasaol and his back surgery.
We need to get ALL the
Prayers we can for this 20
Year Special Forces Veteran
of 3 Combat Zones! Yes -
Please Forward all you
friends of his!
Dear Pastor Jim,
I talked to Rob, Sunday PM.
His surgery is still on, for
11AM on 18 Feb 10. It should
be for 3.5 hours. Lower back
surgery is very dangerous.
It will be at University
Hospital instead of the VAH,
because a good, mutual
friend Dick Yoder, an
Airborne Ranger,
back-wounded in Viet Nam,
finally had to have this
same surgery 3 years ago, at
the VAH here in Denver. His
surgery left him paralyzed
from the waist down. This
man is an active man, a man
of REAL courage, a War Hero.
I saw him dancing, not long
ago, In His Wheelchair, with
his wife, to a live band, at
the VFW Club - Golden. I
rarely dance, but, this time
I did. I still get tears in
my eyes when I think of his
Great Courage; he is always
joking and laughing - to
cover the pain of his loss
of mobility.
Pastor Jim, I feel a
desperate need to get Rob
into prayer so that the Lord
will guide the hands and
minds of the surgical team,
headed by a lady Professor
of Medicine-Surgeon. I do
not want this good man and
great Soldier, Rob P., to
have that result. I want him
completely healed and free
of pain.
Could you ask the Wednesday
Supper Group to pray for
Rob, both then and during
the time of his surgery,
1100-1500 hours (11AM - 3PM
in civilian terms), on
Thursday, 18 Feb 10??
Please. Any American who
goes willingly into 3 Combat
Zones, as Rob did, deserves
all our prayers. When he
went into the Philippines,
it was into the "radical
Islam Muslim" area. His
Special Forces Unit was
operating against those evil
jerks who have kidnapped,
abused, and murdered
American Missionaries. I am
sure that The Lord holds
those men in His Heart, but
we need to remind Him that
18 Feb 10 is a dangerous
time for Rob P. Please help.

From
Karen Bunker:
Well, I an
very grateful that Earl had
a good couple of days, but
this morning, we was
transported by ambulance
from Mineral Wells to a
hospital here in Fort Worth.
His jaw is swollen shut and
they are going to put a
drain tube in his jaw to
drain it out. It is very
badly filled with infection
and it sounds really awful.
Please pray that they will
be able to drain all of this
out of his jaw before it
spreads through his entire
system. He is having a very
hard time with this and may
I mention that once again he
is a diabetic.
Please pray for him
diligently.
______________
Also, my husbands doctor
took some blood and urine
yesterday and also has him
scheduled for a CT scan on
Friday morning. Our son is
coming to go with us and I
am very grateful to him for
that. She said that there is
a possibility that there is
a kidney stone or that it
could be something much
worse. They took his blood
pressure many times
yesterday before they could
get it to read. That is very
unusual for him because his
is normally a bit high. She
said that if he got one
little bit worse, she wanted
him to go straight to the
ER. She is concerned that
his kidneys are trying to
shut down. He has been in
bed all day and he does not
feel any better at all.
Thank you for keeping him in
prayer. Please pray with me
that they find whatever it
is on Friday and that it
will be treatable. He is
getting very tired of being
so sick. He has been ill for
a long time and it is
getting to him.
God bless you all today and
please don't forget to
PRAISE THE LORD!

I got a note

From Karen
Bunker(12:00 a.m.):
Dear Prayer
Teams,
I want to update you on a
few things, but first I want
to remind you that Michael
goes for his CT scan
tomorrow morning at 10:15. I
would appreciate it if you
will ask God to help them
find anything that is there
and that it will be
treatable. He is still in a
lot of pain. His blood work
and his other testing came
out fine. I hope we will
find out something tomorrow
because his doctor is going
to be gone next week. He
really needs some help.
Thank you for your prayers.
_____________
Now, I talked to Dawn a few
short minutes ago and today
she went to do some of her
lovely Christian things that
she does and was held safely
in the arms of God and He
saved her from what could
have been a catastrophic car
accident. She said she was
literally inches away from
being his broadside on the
drives side and it most
certainly would have hurt
her badly if not worse. SO,
PRAISE GOD TONIGHT THAT WE
STILL HAVE OUR DAWN.
She said that her sweet
niece, Amy, is doing
somewhat better, but that
there are about 4 doctors
trying to figure out what is
wrong with her and none of
them can agree. The swelling
in her legs and feet and her
hands and arms is better,
but the infection is still
there. They are not sure
when she will get to come
home to her new baby, but
let us pray that she will be
well very soon and not have
to miss out on those early
days with her baby.
Please continue your prayers
for that family.
_______________
I heard from Brian Amerson.
He is back at school and
things were a popping'
around that jail today. They
had some high security going
on. But, his personal group
was not the problem, Praise
God. Also, Brian sounds
wonderful and I am so
thankful. He told me that I
should NOT have put Michael
down so low on the Prayer
requests the other night. He
told me that we ALL are in
need of prayer from time to
time and that I should not
hide him away. He also told
me that he doesn't have to
go back to the doctor until
next week and that if WE
need any help, he will be
here in a minute. (I promise
you that he would, too).
Don't tell him that I told
you, but he is such a good
person and has so much
compassion. No matter what
is going on with him, he is
always available to help
another. Please continue to
pray that Brian will be 100
% healed and feeling great
very soon.
God bless you, Brian, love
you!
_______________
Regarding Earl Clark, the
one whose jaw was swollen
shut, I got a call from
Heather and she said he got
through the surgery and the
tube to drain the infection
from his jaw is in place.
Earl has diabetes really
badly and he has neuropathy
on both feet. It seems that
Earl took a fall a couple of
weeks ago and in the course
of the surgery, they
discovered that Earl has a
broken foot so they ended up
having to fix it as well. He
has had quite a ride and
needs to get off this horse
for a while. Please continue
to pray for Earl. He has a
ways to go, especially now
that his foot is also an
issue.
GET WELL SOON, EARL!!
________________
I haven't
spoken to you about Carsten
Watt in quite a while. In
case you don't remember him,
he is a precious 4 year old
little boy who was diagnosed
with Acute Lymphoblastic
Leukemia (ALL) a year ago
this past January. I haven't
mentioned him in a while
because, considering
everything, Carsten has been
holding his own. He still
is, I am happy to say, but
the family is seeking us all
out, who follow Carsten's
progress, in the Caring
Bridge Website they have set
up for him. Please read
below what Carsten's Mom has
to say about him at the top
of his page:
Carsten has been diagnosed
with Acute Lymphoblastic
Leukemia (ALL) on Wednesday,
January 14th.
Please keep our family in
your thoughts and prayers.
This is really a difficult
time for all of us.
We would love to hear from
you. Please write in the
guestbook. It makes our day
to know you are all thinking
of us and care so much about
Carsten and our family!!
HERE IS THE LINK TO THEIR
MINUTE PAGE.........FOR YOUR
CONVENIENCE.
http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/carstenwatt
Carsten is not the main
reason they have contacted
us tonight. When you have a
very ill child, like they
have, and your entire life
revolves around checking in
and out of hospitals so many
times per year that you
can't keep up with it,
sometimes the only comfort
you get is by sharing your
story with those at the
hospital, who are living
this same nightmare. You
grow to love these parents,
who become like family, and
their children become like
your own. You share all
kinds of blood tests and
horrible treatments that
drag down the children's
immune system. You cry and
only on occasion do you
laugh. Mostly you pray for
each other and your own
children.
Stacey, who is Carsten's mom
has come to us with a heavy
heart for two children that
she has become especially
close to while Carsten has
been going through his
treatment. BTW, Carsten's
parents are Cordell & Stacey
Watt. Carsten has 3 half
siblings; from oldest to
youngest Derick, Kaile and
Teagen and they live in S.
Dakota. They travel back and
forth from their home to
Sioux Falls SD where Carsten
receives his treatment at
Sanford USD Medical Center,
almost weekly or sometimes
they get to stay home a bit
longer than that. Here is
what Stacey has sent us to
pray about. Please read
these pleas from a very
devoted and loving mother
whose heart is crying out
for the children of other
mom's just like herself.
This, dear Prayer Warriors
is the least we can do for
them. Please read what
Stacey has to say:
The main reason I am writing
is to ask for your prayers
for 2 special boys we've met
along our journey.
Danny, age 6 has AML
(different type of leukemia
than Carsten) who is up at
the U of M....they are
waiting for his bone marrow
transplant (BMT), but now he
has something on his
lungs....possibly a blood
clot, or maybe a fungal
infection. Please pray that
the test tomorrow shows good
results and that it can be
treated fast so Danny can
continue with the work up
for his BMT. We are thinking
of you Cowboy Danny and
family!!
Also, pray for a boy named
JP (age 9) who is in the
Sanford Children's Hospital
again. It sounds like his
labs are improving....he is
on a couple of antibiotics
and they may take them off
of him to see how he does
without them. Please pray
that he recovers soon so he
can go back home. JP has
been in the hospital for
over half of a year and was
home for 2 days, went back
in and then home around a
week and then went back into
the hospital.
Both of these families are
dear to my heart. The moms
always had an encouraging
word or would listen when we
were in the hospital on and
off for 10 months.
Carsten is still fighting a
viral sinus infection. Low
grade fevers, not as active
as usual, but eating ok and
drinking LOTS of milk.
Please pray for him too.
Better go; will update soon.
Stacey
As I read these heartfelt
pleas from Stacey for the
children of two other women
who are standing in the same
place of heart ache and
living borrowed days with
their children as they pray
to God from day to day for
their very lives, tears fill
my eyes and I wonder what I
have to ever complain about.
Three women with small
children whose lives are
spent with tears and pain
and fevers and treatments
and tubes and leaving home
in the middle of the night
with their babies wrapped in
a blanket taking them to the
hospital, wondering and
begging God to please let
them make it just one more
time. SOMETIMES I WONDER HOW
THEY DO IT!!! I remember
what Myriam Avery said to me
once about that. She said,
"We do it because we have no
choice"!!!
Myriam Avery is one of the
bravest women I've ever met.
She held her son, Julian
Michael Avery, in her arms
and watched him pass into
the arms of God 2 years ago
on January 19 this past
year. She still works for
the Children's Cancer
Community and she still
aches to hold "Juju" in her
arms. He loved his Mommy and
he holds a part of all of
our hearts.
Please pray hard for these 3
mothers and ALL cancer Mom's
all over the world. Cancer
is such a cruel disease. It
make me sick inside to think
of the suffering of these
children.
PLEASE, SAY THE PRAYERS
TONIGHT.........SAY ONE FOR
CARSTEN; SAY ONE FOR DANNY;
AND SAY ONE FOR JP; AND PRAY
ONE FOR THE MOMS AND DADS
WHO NEVER KNOW WHAT TOMORROW
HOLDS and FOR THOSE LIKE
MYRIAM AND KEN WHO HAD NO
CHOICE BUT TO GIVE THEIRS
UP.
I don't talk about these
children often because
Julian Michael Avery touched
my heart in such a way that
I will never be able to say
his name without seeing his
sweet face and my eyes
filling with tears. PRAYER
IS SUCH A GIFT. LET US USE
IT TO THE VERY BEST OF OUR
ABILITY TO BRING THESE
CHILDREN TO THE MERCY OF A
LOVING GOD. ASK HIM TO HEAL
THEM AND ASK HIM TO GIVE
MANKIND THE ANSWER TO HOW WE
CAN END CHILDHOOD CANCER IN
OUR LIFETIMES.
My heart is broken tonight.
Please take time right now
to pray for these precious
little ones. And, take time
to thank God for your
children's good health.
Thank you for listening to
me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofYrt9ymTRo&feature=related
God bless all of you tonight
and PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO
PRAISE THE LORD.
Love to all,
Karen

our son, Cody, is going with

P.M.
From
Karen Bunker:
Good Afternoon,
I have about 3 updates and I
think that may be it for
now. Let me start with
Michael, because there is
nothing to really tell. It
being Friday, it probably
wont be read until Monday.
We might know something
Tuesday, but his doctor is
going to be out all next
week. So, please just keep
your prayers going until
then. That seems like an
eternity to me right now,
knowing the pain he is
enduring. But, the weekends
are always a problem when
you have a medical issue. It
will be ok........God is
watching over him.
________________
Regarding Cassie and Daniel
Neighbors. They are
disappointed, I am sure,
that they are not pregnant
yet. However , I am SURE
THEY ARE THRILLED THAT THERE
ARE STILL NO NEW MASSES OR
SIGN OF CANCER EITHER.
Hopefully, they will be
blessed with baby news next
time. In the meantime, keep
praying for them and ask
that God will bless this
effort in trying to make
this baby into more than
just a dream. I FOR ONE,
KNOW THAT DREAMS REALLY DO
COME TRUE.
God bless you, Daniel and
Cassie.............just
remember we are all praying
and that God's timing is
always PERFECT!!!

You will remember Charlene
Glaub contacted us last week
for prayer for a doctor's
appt she had. She was having
horrible headaches and she
felt horrible. Well, here is
her update for today:
I went to see the ENT (EAR,
NOSE & THROAT SPECIALIST) on
Wednesday of last week. He
told me that he could not
see anything significant on
the CT of my sinuses. He
told me to quit taking
Zyrtec D an mucinex everyday
and switched me to a nasal
spray. I had my regular
appointment with the
Oncologist on Thursday in
the snow. My counts were
good - she said she would
see me in 6 months. I came
home somewhat discouraged -
with not much to tell. I
bumped along till Tuesday
when I started with a sore
throat and a cough. I went
to see the nurse
practitioner yesterday
because I was feeling
horrible. We have decided to
treat my symptoms and follow
up in a couple weeks. That
being said - no more
antibiotics for now - YEAH!
I got another nasal spray,
steroids for 10 days, cough
medicine with codeine, and
singular. They think this is
allergy based. They also
think I may be developing
allergy induced asthma. I
feel much better today than
I did yesterday - that is
such a blessing. The other
thing they told me is that I
need to de-stress my life.
That is much easier said
than done. I discussed this
with my husband, kids and
mother. We will see if this
can be done. I have offered
this all in prayer - because
I can't do this alone. I
will follow with the primary
care after I see the ENT
again, so we are all on the
same page and to let all
know how the above worked/is
working.
Thanks for sharing this with
us, Charlene. The de-stress
issue is a very interesting
topic. We will continue to
pray that the Lord will
direct your path and if we
come up with the answer to
that one, it will certainly
Have to come from God for
sure. But, there again, He
is always worth the wait.
I hope everyone has a good
weekend. I will let you know
of any more news I get or
any new requests. Thanks to
all of you who so faithfully
pray. Prayer is our greatest
weapon and our greatest
source of protection, when
practiced with the study of
God's Word and meditating
upon Him. The answer to all
of our problems and
questions lie in the love of
God's Word and our prayer
lines of communication to
him. Let us all continue to
trust Him daily with all of
the answers we need.
Please pray for our Military
Families, and especially
Maj. John S. Davidson,
U.S.M.C. and his wife, Carie
and daughter, Cadence.

people, which are called by

heal their land.
Love to all,

soldiers who are left to
call their wives and tell

From
Karen Bunker:
Dear Friends,
Good Morning to All of you.
I have some prayer requests
for you. The first one is
from Beverly Lawyer, our
resident Angel at NetHugs.
She started out with a
thought that has been going
on with me for a very long
time now. It sure seems to
me that there are endless
prayer requests lately from
people who are going through
just AWFUL things. They are
things that recurr over and
over again and are very
antibiotic resistant. Never
have I known a time of
tragedy, or lack of peace;
never have I known of a more
restlesss people who are
DESPERATELY in search of
SOMETHING that makes sense.
We will discuss this more
shortly. But first, please
read Beverly's praryer
requests blow, along with
her comments:
From Beverly Lawyer:
Dearest Karen,
Hello! Does it seem to you
that more and more good
people are becoming ill all
at once? Every time I turn
around, someone I know has
become very ill, when they
hadn't been ill before!! I
really makes you wonder what
is going on.
Anyway, I have two more
people to put on our prayer
list. The first one is a
dear friend named Sua-Solina
Masoli. She is a wonderful,
Christian woman from Hawaii.
She goes by "Solina"....(So-lee-na).
She has had an infection in
her one leg that just won't
go away. The doctors don't
know what caused it. They
have been giving her an
abundance of antibiotics and
they don't seem to be doing
anything. The doctors are
stumped as to what caused or
what is causing this
terrible infection, even
though they have done every
test known to mankind.
Solina is now having trouble
walking and is in a great
deal of pain. The doctors
just started her on her
final antibiotic. If this
one does not work, they are
considering removing her leg
before this infection moves
into another area of her
body. Solina knows I belong
to the prayer group and she
asked me if I would please
place her on the prayer
list. She is a firm believer
in the power of prayer. I
promised her I would do so.
She said she is ready to
accept whatever God sends to
her. Solina will be so
pleased and I know how
appreciative she will be for
all the prayers.
I thank you and I will keep
you posted on Solina's
progress....or lack thereof.
Beverly, yes I know what you
are talking about. It is
happening everyday that
these unknown diseases are
showing up and our medical
caregivers don't have a clue
what it is or how to handle
it. There are more everyday
going through such trials.
We will surely pray for
Solina and God is the Great
Physician. He will take care
of her need or lead her to
someone here that He will
work through on this
illness. Please let her know
that we will all be praying.
__________
Here is another request from
Beverly:
The second person is the
aunt of a good friend. My
friend is Sister Barbara
Cady and her aunt is Mary
Gopel. Mary is 87 years old
and was just rushed to the
hospital because she could
not breathe. After giving
her some tests, they said
she had a severe case of
pneumonia. The doctors are
working on her round the
clock and they are saying
they think she will be all
right....but that it is
going to take time. Sister
Barbara asked that I put
Mary on the prayer list.
Mary is a good Christian
woman who will be very
grateful for all the
prayers. Of Course, Sister
Barbara, being a Catholic
nun, already knows the power
of prayer. She, too, said
she will be so very grateful
for any and all prayers she
can get for Mary. Barbara
knows, as we do, that
prayers are the greatest
thing you can do for anyone.
I will keep you posted on
Mary's progress.
Thank you, so very much. I
deeply appreciate all you do
for everyone. God
appreciates it also.
Love You,
Beverly
Again, let us all lift up
these dear ones who are so
ill. We are working with a
lot of faith here. I ask you
to please not forget these
who are struggling.
Beverly, please let her know
that we are praying and
expecting things to be much
better very soon. God bless
you, Sweet Angel, for
sending us her prayer
request.
Love you, Bev.

4:4)
Please read:
FROM BRIAN AMERSON:
Please pray for one of my
daughters. She is married to
an unbeliever and un-equally
yoked. She has 4 small kids
7 and under. Seems she has
been having troubles at
night when her husband is
out (he does night hunting
for ferral pigs etc) with
noises and shadows. Her name
is Ashley. She was saved at
an early age, but right now
is as I said un-equally
yoked and is not able to
attend church.
Tonight she called me at
1:30 and we talked for over
an hour and a half. She was
crying and scared to the
point of being paralyzed
with fear.
Pray for her to find what is
opening the door to
satanic/demonic attacks and
cleanse her home, and to
develop a Prayer and Bible
reading lifestyle that will
give her God's Word to
combat this.
Brian, yes we will certainly
pray for Ashely and the
removal of whatever demonic
force is causing her such
stress. Prayer Warriors, the
demon world is very real and
not something you ever want
to mess around with.
However, we are God's
Chosen. We are washed in His
blood and we need not be
afraid when we are covered
by His blood. Combine
together on Ashley's behalf
and ask God to protect her
and the children from any
evil that may be there.
Please ask God to remove
this entity from their home
immediately. Brian, please
tell Ashley we are praying
only God will be in her
home.
Colossians 3:17 And
whatsoever ye do in word or
deed, do all in the name of
the Lord Jesus, giving
thanks to God and the Father
by him.

From
Karen Bunker:
FROM KARRIE
COOK:
Karen could you send out a
prayer request for me ...
Mike's (my Husband) Uncle
Bill Cook has been in the
hospital for about a month
now he fell and broke his
hip... when he got to the
hospital they ran tests and
he has cancer pretty much
all through his body...
he has been in so much pain
and last night he fell
asleep around 11 and they do
not think he will wake up.
Could you ask for everyone
to pray for comfort and
peace and to be with his
family, he has 3 children
one daughter in college and
2 son's in High School one
is a
senior and one is a
freshmen, he has a very
devoted wife of 25+ years. I
am just so sad for them I am
sure when he went to the
hospital they never had any
thought of him not coming
home... my heart just goes
out to them and I am so sad
I have not sent a prayer
request before now, I just
thought like them he would
go home get treated and be
OK.
However, his wife has said
he is at peace with all the
treatments and decisions
that have been made so I am
sure that is of some comfort
for her.
Please keep them in your
prayers and thank you so
much for all you do.
love you and God bless you
Karrie
Cook**************************************************************
CANCER PRAYERS HAVE BECOME
OUR GREATEST REQUESTS. IT
SEEMS TO BE IN EPIDEMIC
PROPORTIONS. IT HAS HAD ITS'
UGLY GRIP ON KARRIE FOR ONE
YEAR NEXT MONTH AND SHE
STILL HAS A VERY HARD ROAD
AHEAD OF HER. I ASK YOU TO
PLEASE REMEMBER HER HUSBAND,
MIKE'S UNCLE BILL, HIS
CHILDREN AND HIS BELOVED
WIFE. I AM SURE THAT THEIR
FAMILY IS JUST ABOUT UPSIDE
DOWN. BUT WHEN YOU ARE A
CHRISTIAN AND YOU STAND BY
SOMEONE'S BED AND KNOW THAT
THEIR PAIN IS SO BAD, IT IS
SO MUCH EASIER TO THINK OF
THEM IN HEAVEN THAN BEING IN
SUCH TORTURE.
THE SLEEP THAT SEEMS TO COME
RIGHT BEFORE THEY PASS HAS
GOT TO BE SOME SWEET RELIEF
THAT GOD SENDS BEFORE HIS
ANGELS COME TO TAKE THEM
HOME. PLEASE PRAY FOR GOD'S
LOVING MERCY AND PEACE UPON
HIM AND THE ENTIRE FAMILY.
KARRIE'S FAMILY IS SO FILLED
WITH FAITH AND THEY ARE
STRONG. BUT THEY NEED OUR
PRAYERS FOR A LONG TIME
AHEAD. REMEMBER THEM PLEASE.
I have to say here that it
is the people like Karrie
who have such loving and
golden hearts; it is they
who have been through the
most who pray the hardest
and are so saddened for
others problems. She has
never complained about her
schedule, her illnesses, her
treatments or her many
surgeries, how long it has
taken, how bad she feels or
how weary she is of it. She
just Praises God for EACH OF
YOU every time we talk about
her. She is exceptional in
every way and she has an
ongoing need for our prayers
that she will continue to
strengthen and that her
immune system will stay
strong so that she can have
the strength to get through
the final surgeries and
procedures that are coming
soon. The last will be the
worst and it is very
dangerous 12 hour or more
surgery she will be
enduring.
I ASK YOU ALL TO PRAY FOR
HER DAILY UP TO AND THROUGH
THE END OF ALL OF THIS. SHE
ASKS FOR NOTHING BUT YOUR
PRAYERS. SHE IS SO HUMBLE
AND THANKS YOU ALL SO MUCH
FOR YOUR FAITHFULNESS.
ONCE AGAIN, I WANT TO
MENTION THAT WE WILL BE
DOING AROUND THE CLOCK
PRAYERS FOR KARRIE WHEN THE
TIME COMES FOR HER SURGERY
WHICH COULD BE ANYTIME FROM
APRIL THRU JUNE. SHE WILL BE
IN THE HOSPITAL FOR AT LEAST
5 DAYS AND WILL HAVE AROUND
THE CLOCK CARE TO MAKE SURE
THERE ARE NO COMPLICATIONS.
I HAVE SOME WONDERFUL
VOLUNTEERS WHO HAVE ALREADY
SAID THEY WOULD TAKE SOME
NIGHTTIME DUTY. YOU CAN HAVE
ANYTIME YOU WANT. JUST SEND
ME AN EMAIL TELLING ME WHAT
TIME AND I'LL PENCIL YOU IN.
THEN WHEN THE TIME COMES,
YOU WILL GET A REMINDER FROM
ME.
I want to remind you, too,
that Karrie is only 38 years
old and has two little girls
: Kiley and Kacee (I'm sure
I didn't spell those right,
Karrie) and they are
absolutely
beautiful...............precious!
And, Mike (her husband), too
is just the nicest guy. If
I'm not mistaken he has had
to have leg surgery himself
just before Karrie had her
hysterectomy. They have had
a very difficult year.
Please remember these people
whose lives are upside down
with schedules, two working
parents, school and day care
for two children, driving
back and forth between Fort
Worth, Dallas and Houston
every couple of weeks for
some new procedure, scan or
treatment for a year now for
a mother who has had a
devastating bout with a very
aggressive and huge cancer.
Oh Great God of Heaven and
earth, Loving Father of us
all, we Praise You and exalt
you above all others in the
Universe. You, Father God,
are faithful and true. You
don't turn Your back on our
needs. You are faithful to
Your promises and we lift
Thy Word up to You today and
Lord, we claim each promise
within its' beautiful pages,
for the healing of Karrie in
the coming days and weeks.
Holy and Precious is Your
name. We call upon You night
and day and though we
ourselves may grow weary and
forget what to say, the Holy
Spirit takes hold of our
thoughts and the desires of
our hearts and He takes our
petitions for others to You.
He is always there to speak
for us and for others that
we have concern and great
love for. PRAISE YOU FATHER
GOD, THANK YOU HOLY SPIRIT.
OH, AND PRECIOUS JESUS, WE
PRAISE YOU AND WE CRY OUT
YOUR NAME, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY
SON OF GOD, WHO WAS AND IS
AND SHALL FOREVERMORE BE.
WORTHY IS THE LAMB WHO WAS
SLAIN WITH POWER AND GLORY
AND HONOR. WE FALL DOWN IN
WORSHIP BEFORE YOU , FOR THE
BLOOD THAT WAS SHED SO THAT
WE MIGHT BE DELIVERED FROM
SIN AND GLORIFIED BY YOU
INTO THE PRESENCE OF THE
FATHER.
Jesus, our beloved Savior,
Faithful and True, please
hear the prayers of Your
Saints as we ask in Your
name, NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES,
that Karrie will be blessed
and completely healed and
that she will soon be able
to get this behind her. Thou
art Perfect. Thou art Love
Eternal. THOU ART GOD!!! WE
PRAISE YOU FOR OUR
SALVATION. MAY WE GLORIFY
YOU DAY AND NIGHT
FOREVERMORE.
Further, Lord, we ask Your
love and tender mercy upon
Mike's Uncle Bill, who is
filled with cancer. Lord,
comfort him, take the pain
away, removed the shackles
that bind him and release
him and make him free
forevermore. Comfort his
family and provide the Way
for them the be able to go
on. Let them feel You
holding them up. We thank
You and we love YOU and we
give You all the glory for
these and all other
blessings that You send to
us all. WE PRAISE YOU AND
THANK YOU, IN JESUS NAME.
AMEN!
We love you, Karrie. We are
here and we care so much.
Please let us know if there
is ANYTHING else that you
might need.
Love in Him Who First Loved
Us,
Karen and your prayer teams.
Please pray for our Military
Families, and especially
Maj. John S. Davidson,
U.S.M.C. and his wife, Carie
and daughter, Cadence.
2 Chronicles 7:14 If my
people, which are called by
my name, shall humble
themselves, and pray, and
seek my face, and turn from
their wicked ways; then will
I hear from heaven, and will
forgive their sin, and will

FROM EVA:
Karen,
I would really appreciate it
if you would put my
sister-in-law on the prayer
list her name is Cindy
Dimel, she has a Disease
called Myasthenia Gravis
which means Muscle Death. it
is like Lou Gerrigs disease.
She has had it for some
years now and has been very
ill she cannot hold her head
up and her body continues to
get worse all the time, She
has a very strong Faith and
she wants to live, she is
going in the hospital Monday
and will be having 3 or 4
surgeries on Wednesday, she
has no choice. Her husband
has taken care of her for
the last 6 years she can
walk but does fall a lot at
times. she also has other
health problems. Her family
also need prayers because
she may not survive these
surgeries but without them
she will not make it. It is
in Gods Hands.
Eva, please tell Cindy we
will certainly be happy to
add her name to our list and
that we will be asking for
her total and complete
success with the surgeries
and that she will be healed
from the disease. Thank you
and please keep us posted.
And PRAISE GOD, we have good
news regarding Eva's other
sister-in-law, Teresa. We
recently prayed for her
macular degeneration and her
doctor just can't explain
why or how it happened. Eva
and Teresa both acknowledged
God's answer to the prayers
and we are certainly
thankful to God for this
wonderful news. Please read
the email below:
On a happier note my
sister-in-law Teresa who has
macular Degeneration and was
not doing to good went back
to her doctor last week her
good eye was going bad and
not responding to the
treatment, I asked everyone
to pray for her and you all

From Karen
Bunker:
GOOD MORNING PRAYER TEAMS! I
hope that the sun is shining
wherever you are today, just
like it is in my back yard.
That is my prayer for all of
you today, that God's
sunshine will fill up your
day with His loving warmth
and love.
I have a very urgent prayer
request this morning. All of
you know about Earl Clark
and the problem he has been
havng with an infection in
his jaw due to an impacted
tooth. In the course of
taking care of that, the
discovered that his foot was
broken and he, of course,
also has diabetes.
TODAY at 4:30 central time,
he is going to be having
surgery to put a plate in
his leg in order to help his
bone have the strength to
support his broken foot.
Since he already has a blood
infection, the chance of
this getting infected also,
is pretty high. With him
being a diabetic, this
becomes a critical issue. He
could lose his foot if
things dont go well. If they
don't do the surgery, his
foot is going to heal wrong
and then he will have
another situation. It seems
like to me that this is a
diehard effort to save his
foot.
I called and prayed with
Earl on the phone this
morning and he told me that
HE NEEDS THE LORD TODAY! We
ALL need Him and Earl
especially needs him to get
him through yet another
health issue. If you will
PLEASE, remember Earl
throughout the day today and
especially ask for there to
be no further infections or
complications. He has been
through a lot and could
certainly use something to
go his way. On the up side
of this, his jaw is doing
very well and is healing
properly.
We can certainly praise God
above for this.
Thanks for your
help..........God bless you,
Earl.
______________
I somehow missed knowing
that Linda Martin had been
so ill and in the hospital.
I am thankful that her
pneumonia is improved and
she is back home. Please
pray for her to continue to
improve daily and regain the
strength that she lost
during this awful bout with
pneumonia.
Let us also pray for another
Linda Martin, who was in the
hospital at the same time
our Linda was in there. Our
Linda, kept getting sent the
other Linda's medication.
Linda became concerned for
her and would like us to
pray for this lady. We don't
know exactly what is wrong
with her but God does. So,
please remember to pray for
her needs as well.
_____________
I am sure that we will talk
again later. Keep those
prayers going up and thanks
to each of you who are so
willing to pray. People need
to know that God is hearing
their name spoken to Him.
Let us do our best always,
for HIM!
Please pray for our Military
Families, and especially
Maj. John S. Davidson,
U.S.M.C. and his wife, Carie
and daughter, Cadence.

Dear Friends,
I would like to introduce to
you, Kelly Bearden, who has
a prayer need and has asked
us to pray. In addition to
that, she wants to become a
part of this prayer team.
Kelly and her family live in
Missouri and come to us by
way of Heather Thomas.
Kelly, we welcome you to our
prayer group and we also
want you to know that you
are going to be prayed for
regarding your need.
To all the prayer teams,
Kelly has not been feeling
well for a while and is
showing signs of possible
kidney failure. This was a
huge surprise when she heard
about it and, of course, not
what anyone wants to hear.
LET US ALL REMEMBER TO PRAY
FOR KELLY. She is a young
wife and mother and her
family needs her. Please ask
God to heal her of whatever
it is that is causing her
problem. We want a complete
healing for her. Please
continue to lift her up
daily.
Kelly, please let us know of
any updates so we will
continue to know how to
pray. This group is very
large and is international.
Prayers will be going up for
you all over the world today
and OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME
GOD! HE LISTENS AND HE
ANSWERS OUR PRAYERS. Thank
you for allowing us the
honor of standing in the gap
for you at this time.
God bless you and your
family.

From Karen
Bunker:
Good Morning,
I awakened to a note on my
screen this morning that
tells me my internet is
having connection problems
and I may have to reload my
page..........NOW THAT IS
NOT SOMETHING I WANTED TO
SEE TODAY. Computer problems
are not what I want or
need.. That is Satan's way
of upsetting the "apple
cart" so to speak. He does
not want our prayers to be
heard today.
But.............
PRAYER HAS POWER, Prayer
give us hope.
Prayer takes us before God,
Prayer helps us cope.
So today when it feels like
Satan is on your back,
Pick up that apple cart and
get yourself on track.
God will not fail you, He'll
be right there.
He'll pick up that apple
cart, you've got apples to
share!
So, instead of grumbling,
get up and say
PRAISE GOD FOR THE APPLES,
TODAY IS THE LORD'S DAY!!!
YES! THANK YOU FOR THE
APPLES LORD,
LET'S GET ON OUR WAY!!
So, you see the choice is
mine, I can be defeated or I
can spread the apples around
because, God furnished them.
I don't want any of us to
miss out on one blessing
today, especially those who
need our prayer.
So here we go:
I got this from Eva this
morning. This is about the
email that I thought I
missed sending to you, but
found out it HAD gone out.
Anyway, it turns out the
needs are for
today..........Please read
below:
Karen,
They changed my
sister-in-law Cindy's
surgery to today it will
last 10 hours everything is
in Gods Hands. Please
remember her and her family
this is so hard on all of
them, I will let you know as
soon as I know something.
I am thankful to know that
we have the chance to pray
for Cindy throughout this
long day for her and her
family AND those tending
her. Please pray hard for
them and lift her up to our
Lord each time you think of
it. God help this family
today! In Jesus Name.
Also, sadly enough, this too
comes from Eva regarding
that young man who got the
overdose of prescription
drugs and who made such a
bold comeback the next day.
Please read below:
Also I wanted to let you
know that Ben had to be put
back on life support he is
now in a nursing home they
are going to try to wean him
off of life support, He
needs our prayers and
especially his parents he is
their only child.
Thank you so much for
everything I appreciate
everyone so much,
God Bless You All Love Eva
Eva, I am so sorry to hear
about Ben. Let us all once
again bind together in
prayer for this young man
and his parents whose
hearts, I am sure, are
breaking. This is such an
unnecessary heartache. Our
children's lives are at
stake all over the world
because of drugs. Please ask
God to give this young man
another chance. I hope that
during his time being
coherent that he was saved.
This family needs the Lord.
Please all pray accordingly.
_____________
I have a very brief update
on Earl. He called Heather
around 9:30 last night and
he got through the surgery
and he was very hungry. They
were going to bring him some
food. That is all I know for
now. Praise God for bringing
him through this part.
Pray hard that no other
infections develop.
____________
Also, Brian Amerson has a
doctors appointment today.
Please pray that things are
going well with his heart.
He has been having a few
episodes, but hopefully
nothing too bad. But,
whatever it is, please pray
that God will help them to
find and correct it before
it becomes critical.
Love you, Brian!
____________
I am supposed to have lunch
with Karrie Cook today and I
just can't wait. This will
be the first time we have
met in person. I hope to be
able to share our visit with
all of you later.
Now, remember that my
computer is fussy this
morning. Please pray that
God will help me get the
things to you that you need
to know.
DON'T LET SATAN UPSET YOUR
APPLE CART TODAY. THERE ARE
LOVELY APPLES TO BE
DELIVERED! GOD BLESS YOU ALL
TODAY, AND DON'T FORGET TO
PRAISE THE LORD!!
Please pray for our Military
Families, and especially
Maj. John S. Davidson,
U.S.M.C. and his wife, Carie
and daughter, Cadence.
2 Chronicles 7:14 If my
people, which are called by

themselves, and pray, and

heal their land.
Love to all,

From
Deacon Steve:
Please pray
for all young families that
are dealing with unfaithful
partners, divorce, and break
up of the family, as most
often it is the children who
get hurt the most. May
our Lord enlighten young couples
with the wisdom to know that
marriage is a commitment, a
decision to love each day,
and that communication is
most urgent in all
marriages. If young
folks and even older folks
would listen to each other
with their hearts and not
just their ears, and pray
together, then God will
bless that couple in
numerous ways. God
must be first and foremost
in all marriages.
(sermon for today) God
bless. Oh this prayer
request comes from Joyce, my
wife.

February 27th
From Karen
Bunker:
I want to tell all of you
I'm sorry and I didn't mean
to be ignoring your
questions about Michael and
how he is doing. "Ignoring"
is not a good choice of
words because he is very
important and I had a plan
on how I wanted to tell you
about him in a separate
email but my computer has
been unhappy for a couple of
days and I am in the middle
of scans, etc., to get that
situated so I am now
answering all your inquiries
about him. The first ones to
ask were my precious
neighbors, The Garbers...........sorry
for taking so long. And I
heard from Linda Buhl a bit
ago and the first thing she
said was: Karen - first we
wanted to ask how Mike is
doing? We've been praying
for him and hoping you'd get
some word on results. Thanks
for all your prayers and
your patience and I truly am
sorry for making you wait
for this:
Mike, praise God, came
through the CT scan ok. The
nurse said they did see
something that may have been
what is causing his problem
but they couldn't tell for
sure. His doctor will be
back next week and he is
going in next Thursday. I
tell you this much though,
YOUR PRAYERS HAVE HELPED HIM
TO FEEL BETTER THAN HE HAS
FELT IN MONTHS. IN THIS PAST
WEEK, HE HAS BEEN SO MUCH
MORE HIMSELF. HE AND I BOTH
THANK YOU AND PRAISE GOD FOR
HIS STOMACH BEING SO MUCH
BETTER, HIS STRENGTH GROWING
AND HE JUST SIMPLY FEELS SO
MUCH BETTER. You can always
tell when Mike feels better
because he is "ornery"
heheheeee..........and a big
teaser when he feels good.
It has been so long since he
felt like aggravating me
that I'm out of practice.
But, it sure is nice to have
him acting more like
himself. He is not out of
the woods yet, so please
continue to pray. IT IS
WORKING AND LORD GOD, WE
PRAISE YOU AND THANK YOU FOR
THIS RELIEF YOU HAVE POURED
OUT OVER MICHAEL. AND WE
LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU FOR
THESE PRAYER WARRIORS WHO
WERE SO FAITHFUL.....WE GIVE
YOU ALL THE PRAISE, DEAR
LORD. IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.
Again, thank you all so much
for caring and we are so
grateful. Michael said that
he didn't realize what a
wonderful thing it was to
have so many praying for
you. He truly sends his love
and appreciation to all of
you.
______________
FROM LINDA BUHL:
Linda, I have had you and
Skip on my mind this week
and am so glad to hear from
you. Prayer warriors, here
is an update on what Skip
and Linda are now going
through:
Short summary - decrease to
around 37% lung function
(from in the 50's before)
inflammation which may or
may not be directly
associated with pulmonary
fibrosis - could be partly
rheumatoid arthritis -
started the dreaded
Prednisone again - two
months on steroids while
they build up the dosage of
a form of chemotherapy
called azathioprine or brand
name Imuran. Will have to
begin weekly blood testing
to be sure the imuran isn't
attacking bone marrow or
liver. Once again will have
to avoid groups of people -
active infections and that
type of communicable stuff.
So the diagnosis remains -
pulmonary fibrosis now added
? rheumatoid associated lung
disease. Doc said it'll turn
out better for Skip if it IS
a RA inflammation in the
lungs - still has the damage
but can be helped to breathe
better. So that's the name
of that game. Tired - it has
been cold, rainy and windy
all - going upstairs to
watch a movie on DVD then to
bed. We appreciate your
support and prayers more
than you can know - we are
so blessed - saw some people
at the doctor's office who
were SO much worse off and
had nobody with them.
Thank y'all for caring - it
matters a lot to us.
"Specific prayers for now" -
Skip tolerate the Imuran
well, no bone marrow or
liver damage and the
medications work to take
down inflammation so his
breathing can be eased
considerably. Skip wants to
get back to work - we have
renovation projects to
finish.
Prayer teams, please make
the above words from Linda a
part of your prayers for
them on a daily basis. Let
us be specific in our
prayers for him as they
request. They are struggling
and they need the strength
of God to be made perfect in
the weaknesses that they
both feel right now. God
alone is their Strength and
their Hope. Let us stay
faithful to prayer for them
daily.
Linda continues:
I may well have sent this
out before - seems to be
applicable tonight - life
doesn't necessarily stink
although some days it is a
bit malodorous!
Not the end - yet
Linda Sue and Skip
"Real courage embraces the
twin realities of current
difficulty and ultimate
triumph. Yes, life stinks.
But it wont forever. As one
of my friends likes to say,
'Everything will work out in
the end. If its not working
out, its not the end.' "

HERE IS A REPORT FROM LAVERN
CORLEY. SHE HAS BEEN SICK
HERSELF WITH A SINUS
INFECTION SO LET US REMEMBER
TO LIFT HER UP IN PRAYER
ALSO. SHE SAYS THAT SHE
CONTINUES TO PRAY FOR ALL OF
US.
NOW THIS, REGARDING JUSTIN'S
RECENT TESTING:
Hi Karen,
Justin did hear (last
Friday) from Childrens,
that they did not add him to
the transplant list, but not
for bad reasons. They want
him to be nicotine free for
six months (he is at about
three mos now) and they did
not deem him a high risk at
this point. Dr. Morrow
(heart specialist) is to
call and set up an
appointment to discuss the
tests. Thankfully nothing
bad must have showed up or
they would have had him come
in immediately.
He did get his Medicaid card
last week. Belinda (wife)
had one of his prescriptions
filled and it only cost them
$1.00. Childrens will pay
Justins insurance premium
with the state prison system
until Belinda gets out of
nursing school and can add
him to her policy when she
starts work.
We are all so blessed that
things are going well for
him (and all of us) and we
appreciate so much all the
many prayers that have been
sent up in his name.
Many Blessings,
Lavern
Thank you so much for this
update, Lavern. It is great
to hear that things are
"maintaining". Our prayers
will continue and we will be
in touch with you. God bless
you and know that we all
love you very much.
Karen

Yesterday, I had the joy of
finally meeting Karrie Cook.
I cannot tell you how
wonderful it was to sit
across from this beautiful
young woman who is so brave
and so filled up with faith
in God. It was truly
delightful.
She has still got so much
ahead of her and it begins
this week as she once again
travels to Houston to get
the final check on her
recent hysterectomy. She
will also be undergoing some
more scans, etc., to make
sure everything is still on
target. She has not regained
her strength and does not
feel strong enough yet to
undergo the very delicate
surgery (12 hours worth)
that she is facing. The
timing of this is probably
her greatest concern. PLEASE
PRAY THAT GOD WILL HELP HER
TO KNOW WHEN THEN TIME IS
RIGHT FOR HER, BOTH
PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY. She
is tired and really needs to
be ready on every level.
Karrie, you are so beautiful
and the time we shared was
wonderful. It went by way to
quickly, but I can honestly
say that it was worth the
wait to have the blessing of
meeting you. Remember we
love you and we will be
praying for you and your
family. God bless you all!
____________
My friend, Linda Martin, has
been sick in the hospital
and was just recently
released. She has had a very
bad time with pneumonia and
is still not well. Anyone
who has had that knows how
long it takes to recover
your strength with that
awful illness.
Please pray that God will
restore her health and help
her in the time ahead to be
able to regain her strength
and to completely recover.
Linda, hang in there. we are
praying for you.
_________________
Our Karen Kelley is really
sick again with a severe
sinus infection and also
another infection in that
hip that was recently
replaced. She is on strong
antibiotics but she feels
awful. PLEASE PRAY EXTRA
HARD FOR KAREN BECAUSE HER
IMMUNE SYSTEM IS SO FRAGILE
FROM ALL THAT SHE HAS BEEN
THROUGH IN THE LAST YEAR.
We love you, Karen, and we
are praying for
you.........love you, baby
sister!
_________________
Heather reported to me that
Earl Clark is just about the
same. He has now been in the
hospital for 16 days. He is
feeling rather low
emotionally and whereas his
jaw is better, this foot and
leg problem has made it so
much harder for him. He also
is without insurance and
that certainly is another
problem that is weighing
heavy on him. PLEASE SAY AN
EXTRA PRAYER FOR EARL. He
needs to feel God's presence
tonight. Pray that God will
restore his strength and to
allow him to heal and have
no further complications and
that He will lift the
burdens that Earl carries at
this time.
He is one of our very
serious prayer needs at this
time. PLEASE REMEMBER HIM
AND PRAY FOR HIM OFTEN EACH
DAY. LET'S ASK GOD TO ALLOW
EARL TO BE HEALED
COMPLETELY.
________________
I am happy to report that
Brian Amerson's visit to the
doctor went well and he does
not have to go back until
April, barring any further
problems. He seems to be
finally making progress and
was also happy to tell me
that he will be leaving the
jail and be back at the
school for a while (at
least) beginning Monday.
There is a new student that
is a strong disciplinary
problem and the school
administrators felt that
Brian was the one needed to
try to get this young man
under control. I have no
doubts that Brian's many
years of working with these
students is just the
experience needed to get
this kid under control.
Also, his faith in God is
something that these kind of
kids need as well. Brian has
an amazing ability to show
strong discipline and yet he
does it in such a way that
the kids grow to love and
respect him easily. However,
Brian is not back to full
strength himself, so PLEASE
ONCE AGAIN, remember to pray
that Brian will be watched
over and guarded by God. I
am thankful for his progress
and let us all continue to
pray that Brian will get
stronger everyday.

Please remember Cassie and
Daniel Neighbors this
weekend as they are once
again at a critical place in
their attempt at choosing
the right time to start
their family. Pray that God
will help them through any
decisions that need to be
made and that He will bless
them with a baby very soon.
Daniel is scheduled to be
deployed in September.
_____________
This has been a feeble
attempt at getting you as
many updates as possible at
this late hour. I am sure to
have forgotten something. I
pray that you will please
know how much I love each of
you and thank you for caring
so much about doing God's
will by praying for these
who need help so much.
I wish you all a blessed
weekend and that God will
receive all the honor and
glory for the answered
prayers. GOOD NIGHT DEAR
FRIENDS............THANK
YOU, LORD, FOR YOUR LOVE IN
JESUS CHRIST. AMEN.

Deacon
Steve:
From my niece
Jennifer:
Please
keep Brianna's best friend
Lexi in your prayers. She
has been really sick for the
past month and the doctors
haven't been able to figure
out what is wrong with her.
Thursday she past out in
school and was taken to the
hospital. She is now in
Cardinal Glennon. She has a
high fever and her white
blood cell count is really
low. She is only 8 and
Brianna is really upset over
what is going on. Hopefully
the doctors will be able to
figure out what is going on
and she will get better.
______________
From my niece
Anna:
One of
the nursing students today
told us that her 31 year old
brother found out recently
that he had a brain tumor.
It's very serious, and there
wasn't really an option but
to operate. Unless things
have changed, he is in
surgery "as we speak" (it
should've started this
afternoon), and it will take
about 15 hours. The
neurosurgeon was very
nervous, as this is
something even he isn't
"comfortable" with, they
will be manipulating a lot
of brain tissue to get to
the tumor and there is a big
chance that he will not come
out the same as he went in.
He has a new baby at home.
So, please pray that God is
in control of the surgeons'
hands and that he relieves
the anxiety that the family
MUST be feeling right now.
My friend believes in the
power of prayer, so please
storm heaven.
**************************
From
Karen Bunker:
GOOD
AFTERNOON TO ALL OF YOU.
We have a prayer request and
there are some of you who
may remember this dear lady.
Her name is Janita D'Aquin
and she is a very close
friend of my friend since
middle school, Pat Lilly.
Janita had been diagnosed
with breast cancer in
October 2008, which was
about a month before I was
diagnosed. Please read what
Pat sent about her and
Please put her in your
prayers:
I would like to ask for
prayers for my friend Janita
D'Aquin. I wrote of her when
she first contracted breast
cancer and had a lumpectomy
in Oct 2008. She went
through radiation ,but had
such adverse reactions to
the after drug, that they
took her off of it. They are
trying other drugs, but it
is very hard. During this
time, the doctors discovered
an abnormality in the other
breast, did a biopsy it was
clear), but needed watching.
She has had to switch
doctors due to insurance
change and the new doctor
ordered an unscheduled
mammogram, which has her
concerned. Please pray that
he is being cautious and
every thing will be OK. Pray
for her strength and
complete healing, as she is
giving up hope. Thanks, my
love Pat
This just breaks my heart. I
remember what a hard time
she had before, Pat.
PRAYERS ARE NEEDED FOR THIS
LADY. WE MUST NOT LET HER
LOSE HOPE. HER HOPE IS IN
JESUS CHRIST AND I KNOW THAT
HE WILL GIVE HER THE
STRENGTH AND COMPLETE
HEALING THAT PAT HAS ASKED
US TO PRAY FOR.
Thank you, Pat, and I know
you will keep us updated. I
can hardly bear this. Cancer
is such a horrible disease.
Please take time to lift up
Janita and God bless you,
Pat. Your heart is truly
showing..........you are a
blessing. Mike says thanks
for the prayers for him as
well.
That is all I have right
now, so everybody remember
to lift her up in prayer
today and ask that she will
get good news when she has
her mammogram. God bless you
all today, and PLEASE DON'T
FORGET TO PRAISE THE LORD!
Love to all,
Karen
March 2nd, 2010
From
Karen Bunker:
Good
Afternoon to all of you. It
is a cold rainy day here
today. I hope you are all
warm and happy wherever you
are. I have a Prayer Request
to pass your way and I'd
appreciate it if you would
give it your first and
foremost attention.
Bill Van Deren, our very
great prayer warrior who
recently had to have his
thyroid removed, is getting
ready to start some pretty
intensive treatment and will
be into it for a couple of
weeks. Please pray for him
because thyroid treatments
are somewhat unusual and can
be a bit stressful. Please
pray that all will go well
and that he will not have
any adverse effects from
them.
Bill, we will be lifting you
up to the Lord daily and
please let us know how
things are going.
____________
Today was the day that
Cassie Neighbors was once
again going to her doctor
for another special attempt
to help her and Daniel start
their family. Please pray
that God will bless them
with a healthy pregnancy and
baby. These procedures do
not come cheap and they are
also only 6 months away from
his deployment. Pray that
Cassie will stay healthy and
that there will be a baby on
the way when we hear from
her next time.
____________
Also, continue to remember
Earl Clark in prayer as he
is very much in need and
will be for quite a while. I
have not been able to reach
him but when I do, I will
let you know of any changes.
As of yesterday there were
none.
____________
God bless and be with each
of you and Please don't
forget to PRAISE THE LORD!
Please pray for our Military
Families, and especially
Maj. John S. Davidson,
U.S.M.C. and his wife, Carie
and daughter, Cadence.

From Tamara
Hillman:
Friends,
My heart is heavy for our
dear friends, Ron & Sharon
Clymer, who are going
through a horrible time
right now.....
Their beautiful
granddaughter, (age 23) has
just been diagnosed with
type 4 cervical cancer.
This girl is NOT your
average party-girl in her
twenties! She is in the Air
Force stationed in
Albuquerque New Mexico,
married to Bryan Howard,
(also Air Force) with a two
year old son, Bruce.
They both were scheduled to
be sent to Iraq in May, but
for now, her assignment will
be postponed.
She is facing surgery and
treatments for months to
hopefully cure this dreadful
disease, and restore her to
good health and her very
worried family who include a
brother and her mom, Joy
Samora, her grandparents,
aunts and uncles, and
cousins. She wants also to
be restored to active duty
for this great country she
so proudly serves.
We all know there is
strength in numbers, so I'm
asking you to please put
Katie on your prayer list in
your respective churches, or
just to personally pray for
this lovely girl to conquer
this trial of ill health.
She is deserving of every
prayer you send to the our
lord, Jesus Christ.
Thank you,

I'm sorry
that I'm running a bit

the computer today. Also, I
believe Steve Politte has
been having some problems,
too. I was supposed to let
ya'll know this but, mine
wouldn't do anything much
either. So, hopefully you
are all well. I do have a
couple of requests for you
tonight. Please pray that
Steve gets his computer
straight and also his wife,
Joyce needs prayer tonight.
She has not been feeling
well today.
I heard from a dear friend,

......................................
Subject: Re: prayer needed
Hi Rex,
You had prayed for me in the
past regarding some issues
and I was finding out that
my health issues were
related to a pesticide
spill. Unfortunately the
workers comp doctors didn't
believe that. They didn't
rule in my favor.
Now I am almost 6 years in
to the spill and I have been
in a fight to get my health
back to normal.
I have looked into several
treatment options that cost
thousands of dollars. I
recently tried doing some
infrared sauna work when 5
days into the sauna
treatment I began to have
Parkinson like shaking that
was due to the chemicals
starting to purge out of my
fatty tissue.
I am just asking my email
buddies to keep me in prayer
for an answer- a healing-a
direction in what key will
unlock
me from the issues I face.
It may mean doing more work
like that and some others.
Thanks for your previous
prayer support!
In His grip,
Pat
I told Rex that this hits
pretty close to home. Please
do as Rex asked and pray
this way for Pat D. : I have
prayed and ask the Lord for
a miraculous healing and
restoration so please join
us in that petition but also
for an out pouring of grace

I can truly relate to what
this dear man is going
through. Please remember him
and ask for his complete
healing. Also, remember Rex
and his family as they are
involved in a great ministry
and they do a good work.
Thank you, Rex. God bless
you and please know that we
will be praying for all of
you.

Last night, Brian Amerson
shared a prayer request with
me for his friend, Mary
King. He got to know her as
he has been working in the
jail and she was the Chaplin
there. Yesterday morning,
they suddenly called her in
and told her that the
funding for her job was no
longer there and that they
would not be able to use her
any longer. She walked in
expecting to make a day's
work and instead lost her
job. Brian says she is a
faith filled lady and took
it with the attitude of a
true Christian. Please ask
God to provide their way.
Her husband has been very
ill in the month of January
and has just gotten back to
work himself.
This had really hit Brian's
heart. So, please remember
Mary and others like her.
This world is full of this
kind of story everyday and
things are not changing as
quickly as they need to.
Remember the sufferings of
others and reach out and
touch them with your love,
your prayers and your
support.

Karen Kelley had to have
some more eye surgery
yesterday. She, too,
continues to struggle with
so many different things
everyday. Please keep her
always on your prayer list.
She is a precious spirit! I
love you, Sissy!

I want to let you all know
that Mike goes back to the
Internist tomorrow for the
final work on his CT scan
from a couple of weeks ago.
He has felt so much better
lately. His stomach and his
back, his appetite and his
entire attitude has made
such an improvement. We
truly Praise God and we
thank you for being so
wonderful to pray for him. I
ask that you continue a bit
longer. I want so much for
him to get to enjoy life
somewhat.

From Sur
Curran:
Please keep
in your prayers Deacon Tom
Haefner 87 who will be
having major cancer surgery
tomorrow at St. Johns
hospital in South County,
St. Louis.
From
Deacon Steve:
This is from
a friend of mine, someone I
graduated from high school
with. We can't forget
each other because there
were only 25 students in our
graduation class of 1966.
Just wanted
to let you all know that my
sister will be undergoing
major surgery tomorrow,
Friday at St Louis
University hospital. She has
been having trouble for
awhile and last week they
told her that they turned
her over to a liver
transplant team and they are
going in and removing part
of her bile duct and
possibly rerouting her colon
into her liver and from that
point not sure of what they
will have to do. If there is
a problem with liver they
remove part of it. won't
know about cancer until they
get in.
I will try to keep you
updated but she said the
surgery could take from 2-6
hours.
Another thing while I am
here, I was at Sam's
yesterday parked in handicap
and someone broke into my
car...messed up my window
but as far as I could tell
nothing was missing. Last
night I was told that this
has been on the news so I
guess nothing is sacred
anymore...how sad...all they
would have gotten was some
v8 juice, soup and
crackers...and if they were
truly hungry I would have
given it to them...oh
well...what lessons we
learn.
May God bless you all...Hope
you have a glorious day! God
is great
Love
Gloria
You may have a miracle in
your life today, may your
eyes be open to see it!

From
Karen Bunker:
Dear Prayer
Teams,
I just got a very urgent
prayer request from Kathy
Parker (Katie) regarding the
daughter of a former sister
in law, and her daughter's
boyfriend. They are in need
of our prayers desperately.
Please read Katie's note
below and then the email she
received requesting prayer.
Karen, I received this
e-mail this morning from my
ex sister in law in Texas.
Jammie and her boyfriend
Jason are both in their
early twenties, and are very
close. These kids are close
to our Lord, as is the
family, and are asking for
our prayers. Please pray
that the broken vertebrae's
do not end up in paralysis.
No one deserves to be
paralyzed. This is very
touch and go right now, but
we all know God is the
Ultimate Healer and can
touch upon Jason and heal
these breaks, and remove the
piece that threatens his
spinal cord. Thank you
prayer warriors once again
for your prayers. I know you
are a wonderful army for
prayer. God bless you !!!!
Thank you Karen and God
bless you !!!!
Love Katie
Please remember my Jammie
and her Jason in your
prayers. Jason was in a
terrible dirt bike accident
yesterday, star lifted to
Fort Worth for surgery. some
vertebrae are broken and a
piece is very close to the
spinal cord. Dr.s are
concerned about possible
paralysis. Jammie's been
with him all night and is
awaiting for his family to
arrive. Please send your
love and support their way
and pray for a quick
recovery.
PLEASE REMEMBER THIS YOUNG
MAN, JASON, AS HE GOES
THROUGH THIS SURGERY.
REMEMBER JAMMIE AND THE
FAMILY AS THIS IS AN AWFUL
PLACE TO BE FOR THEM. PLEASE
ASK GOD'S HELP IN GIVING HIM
A COMPLETE HEALING AND NO
PARALYSIS OF ANY KIND. ASK
FOR GRACE FOR THIS FAMILY
AND THE STRENGTH TO SEE IT
THROUGH. PLEASE PRAY FOR
GUIDANCE FOR THE DOCTORS AND
NURSES WHO WILL BE HIS CARE
PROVIDERS. WE NEED A MIRACLE
ON THIS ONE. PRAY HARD!!!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL TODAY AND
PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO
PRAISE THE LORD.
Please pray for our Military
Families, and especially
Maj. John S. Davidson,
U.S.M.C. and his wife, Carie
and daughter, Cadence.
2 Chronicles 7:14 If my
people, which are called by
my name, shall humble
themselves, and pray, and
seek my face, and turn from
their wicked ways; then will
I hear from heaven, and will
forgive their sin, and will
heal their land.
________________________
I just
received this from Brother
Blackwell. Please pray for
this family. Anyone who has
gone through this knows how
painful and destructive it
can be. Please read below:
My brother, John, is a godly
man and is going threw a
very messy divorce. His wife
no longer wants to be with
him and now he's moving in
with me and my wife Sarah
and our new baby Morgan.
Please pray for strength and
peace and comfort and
anything you will think will
help his spirit. They also
have 3 children that are
going to take it really
hard. The babies names are
Elaina, Paige, and Ryland.
And the wife's name is
Sherri. thanks for your help
and God bless you!!!
Sent from my iPhone
Brother Jeremy, thank you so
much for bringing this
family to us. Please keep us
updated and let us know of
anything else we can do to
help. God bless you.
EVERYONE, LET US PULL
TOGETHER IN PRAYER FOR THIS
FAMILY. PLEASE ASK THE LORD
TO DELIVER THEM FROM THIS
DESTRUCTION.
Love to all,
Karen

March 8th, 2010
From Karen
Bunker:
Good Monday
Morning again! Don't the
weeks just fly by now? I
hope your weekend was
pleasant and it is my prayer
for each of you that you
have a healthy, safe and
blessed week.
**********
Brian Amerson brought a new
prayer warrior into our
group and her name is Carol
Culpepper. We more than
welcome her aboard and I
think she will be sending us
some prayer requests soon.
Welcome, Carol. I know that
the Lord will be very
pleased to be hearing your
prayers along with ours.
Please make yourself at home
as this is a very great
group of people.
**************
Brian Amerson's daughter,
Ashley has been having some
most unpleasant nightmares
lately and she has requested
that we pray that God will
take those away from her. I
don't blame you, Ashley.
Taking it to the Lord should
make your nighttime rest
much more enjoyable. Please
remember her, everyone!
**************
Also, I told all of you
about another friend of
Brian's late last week. Her
name is Mary King and she
was the jail chaplain in
Parker County. They lost
their funding for her
position and when she went
in to work late last week,
she was told that she had no
more job. She was very
shocked and had no idea this
was about to happen. But,
your prayers have opened a
door for her already. PRAISE
GOD! It seems that she will
be on a long term substitute
assignment which begins
today, if I'm not mistaken,
and is supposed to last
about 40 days. Well, that
will take her very close to
the end of the school year
and WE JUST PRAISE GOD THAT
HE HAS ALREADY GIVEN HER
THIS HELP TO END OUT THE
SCHOOL YEAR. Please pray for
her and her husband, who is
recently back to work after
a major illness in January,
I believe. I am sure she is
going to need a full time
stable job as soon as she
can get one. Please, again,
remember this family at this
time.
***********
As the economy seems to be
continuing to be a threat to
us all, even though we are
being told that it is
strengthening daily, we must
encourage each other and
reach out to those in need
of prayer and any other help
we can give them. We all
know that God is in control,
but there are those who plot
against us and want to keep
us insecure. Just remember
to Trust in the Lord with
all your heart and lean not
to your own understanding.
In all your ways,
acknowledge Him and He WILL
direct your path. (Proverbs
3:5-6) We must keep our
"Hope", which rests in Jesus
Christ alive, so that we can
better serve Him daily.
****************
I also heard from a lady
named Cathy Kulonis who
contacted me for prayer. I
do not know her and if any
of you referred her to me,
that is fine, but I would
like to know who sent her to
us. Or Cathy, when you read
this, if you will let me
know how you heard of us,
I'd appreciate it very much.
We are happy to pray for
you, but do like to know who
referred you to us.
Cathy's nephew whose name is
Casey has a wife and twin
first graders (1 boy and 1
girl). They are having
family problems and the
children are in foster care
while they are going through
a very difficult time. Cathy
is 54 years old and yet she
feels that she may want to
take these children in and
give them a home where they
will be loved and properly
cared for. She is asking us
for prayers that God will
lead her in making the best
decision she can for all
involved. It is indeed a
huge decision that rests
upon her at this time.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO PRAY FOR
CATHY, her husband, Ken, who
knows nothing about this
yet. Also, pray for Casey
and his mother, the
grandmother of these
children. They certainly
need our prayers and God's
wisdom and guidance.
************
Thank you all who faithfully
serve in this Prayer
Ministry and give so much of
yourselves in the process.
May God richly bless you all
this week. Have a
"Son"shiny" day and Please
Don't Forget to Praise the
Lord!

HEADS UP ALL
PRAYER WARRIORS...........I
JUST GOT THIS URGENT PLEA
FOR PRAYER FOR A PREGNANT
MOM WHO IS HAVING
COMPLICATIONS FROM MY DEAR
FRIEND, DELORES MCPHERSON.
PLEASE READ THE MESSAGE
BELOW:
Karen,
I have a prayer request from
a dear friend of mine whose
daughter is expecting her
first child. Please pray for
the well being of Mom and
baby below is the request as
I received it.
Our daughter, Kasey
Kamenicky, is pregnant and
due March 24th. She is an
eighth grade teacher in
Keller ISD. She has began
experiencing some
complications. She had to go
to the hosp yesterday due to
high blood pressure...they
got the pressure down and
babies heartbeat is good but
she had to follow up with
her Dr. again today. Dr. has
put Kasey off work now and
complete rest. She sees the
Dr again Thursday for
sonogram and more test. The
Dr. is keeping close watch
on her because she suspects
Kasey could be experiencing
pre eclampsia. Dr. said
after Thurs. they'll decide
if she has to be induced or
possible c-section....the
baby is very large. I know
without a doubt that God is
with her through it all but
please pray for her and the
baby. We ask that our
friends not post anything
about her health on FaceBook
due to her job in the school
district....they frown on
Facebook.
Thanks fellow prayer
warriors. I know God will
hear and answer our prayers
for the safe and healthy
delivery of this little one.
Delores
THANK YOU, DELORES. PLEASE

Jason's family is there now
(that takes some pressure
off Jammie) and the doctors
believe that Jason should be
fine - no paralysis. They're
going to fuse his spine

take like they're hoping,
then they'll go back in a

in the end, he's walking.
Praise Jesus!!! Thank you

From Steve
Politte:
This request
comes from our family
website, a friend of my
sister has requested this
prayer.
Sue
Jackson:
Please keep
my cousin's wife, Suzanne
Kay, in your prayers. She
has been battling bone
cancer, and today enters the
hospital for 30 days. They
are going to remove her stem
cells, destroy the diseased
cells, and replace her good
stem cells. She will be
totally quarantined for the
30 days, since once they
remove her stem cells she
will have no immune system.
Suzanne is originally from
the Belgrade area. They now
live in Dallas.

ATTENTION: PRAYER WARRIORS
The Buhls have a very
important early doctor's
appt this morning at 9:00
a.m. PLEASE READ THE NOTE
BELOW FROM LINDA AND PLEASE
PRAY FOR THE DISCERNMENT TO
MAKE THIS VERY IMPORTANT
DECISION.
GOD BLESS YOU
ALL...........!
IN HIM.........Karen
LINDA AND SKIP-------- GOD
IS LISTENING AND WE'VE GOT
YOU COVERED UP IN PRAYER
THIS MORNING.
Good morning Karen - isn't
the SonShine amazing this
morning? A quick note and if
there isn't time to get it
out to the rest of the
prayer group no problem -
just adding you would be
wonderful. Skip has an
appointment with a doctor
who is a pain specialist but
also does a chelating
treatment for possible metal
toxicity - the appointment
is at 9 and we are asking
for discernment and wisdom
in this move - if it isn't
right for Skip we could know
from this initial meeting
but if it is - we feel peace
about this route. Skip is
feeling a little better as
the current high doses of
steroids and ramping up of
the Imuran continues - some
of the side effects are
beginning to manifest. Must
get on the road - traffic
going east from Weatherford
this time of day isn't much
fun.
Bless you for your ministry
and all those beloved
warriors on our side -
In Faith

Be agreeable, be
sympathetic, be loving, be
compassionate, be humble. I

<zjdjweaver@sbcglobal.net
Good Morning,
Prayer Warriors! I have a
special request for a dear
friend of mine today. His
name is Samuel Medina. He
will be having knee
replacement surgery on his
right leg today at 3:30pm.
He has been through so much
already and is in a lot of
pain. Please pray that all
goes well and that Sam will
not have to endure much more
pain. He realizes he has
quite a journey ahead of
him, but he is head strong
and has faith in God.
Because he is a diabetic, he
runs a higher risk of
infection and his recovery
time may be prolonged. So
again please pray for my
dear friend. Thank you for
your love and compassion
towards others. May God
Bless you always! With Love,
Jessica Weaver
P.S. Sam is the grandfather
of the twin girls you all
prayed for not too long ago.
Remember? Well, Brittney and
Shana are doing fine. They
are 5 months old today. I
have attached a pic of the
baby girl twins with my
twins, Zack & Jake. Have a
nice day!

PLEASE TAKE
THE TIME TO GO TO THE
CARINGBRIDGE WEBSITE OF SKIP
AND LINDA BUHL. JUST CLICK
ON THIS LINK:
http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/skipbuhl/guestbook/8
I took time to look through
the messages that have been
left by friend of theirs,
and our group as well. I
deeply want to thank, Denise
Lanford and Beverly Lawyer
along with Karrie Cook, who
have been gracious and
caring enough to go and
visit this updated website
for this couple who are
together, fighting for this
man's life. Your words of
encouragement take just a
little bit of time, but they
are so encouraging to them.
There may have been others
that I have overlooked who
left messages as well. If I
have missed you, I apologize
and thank you, too, for
reaching out to them.
You are missing a blessing
if you do not take time to
read their update and leave
them some encouraging words.
They are our brothers and
sisters in Christ. PLEASE DO
THIS FOR THE LORD. IT IS HE
WHO HAS GIVEN THEM TO US TO
PRAY FOR AND ADMINISTER TO.
BELIEVE ME, YOU WILL FEEL
GOD WITH YOU WHEN YOU LEAVE
THAT PLACE.
I do thank you for your
prayers for them. Please
continue as their need is
great. The desperately need
God's guidance for their
decisions now and in the
future.
_____________
This comes from my sweet
friend, Rita Dickerson:
I KNOW THIS IS TRIVIAL IN
COMPARISON TO MOST OF THE
PRAYER REQUESTS YOU SEND,
BUT THIS IS FROM A DEAR
FRIEND OF MINE AND IT
PERTAINS TO HER DAUGHTER WHO
IS GETTING MARRIED THIS
SUMMER. THEY HAVE BEEN
LOOKING FOR A HOUSE FOR OVER
A YEAR AND HAVE LOST OUT ON
SEVERAL. THEY ARE AWESOME
PEOPLE AND HER DAUGHTER IS
AN AWESOME CHRISTIAN GIRL.!!
And this is the email she
got from her friend:
I don't think I have ever
sent out an e-mail like this
before, but I believe that
when 2 or more believers
petition the Lord, He hears
our prayers and answers
them. Lauren and Brad have
found a house in Sanger,
where they have been looking
along. It's just outside of
their price range and needs
some cosmetic repairs
(painting, etc). We are
making an offer on the house
today for less than the
asking price but stipulating
we will do all the work.
Time is running out on the
tax credit and they really
feel like this is the house
for them. We believe
everything happens for a
reason and are hoping the
last deal fell through
because this might be the
right house for them. Please
take 2 minutes and earnestly
pray that the bank will work
with them, their offer is
accepted and the timing is
perfect.
I love you all and trust you
to do this.
Phyllis
It is indeed very hard for
young people to get a break
these days. These kids seem
to be very organized and
hard workers who are wanting
to do things on their own,
but definitely under the
watchful eye of our Father.
Please ask God to allow them
to get this house so that
they can be given a chance
to start their home and
lives together when it gets
here. Let us remember that
God's timing is always
perfect. Please take time
now to say a prayer for them
as they are bidding on this
house this afternoon. May
God have all the glory!
THANKS RITA..........LET US
KNOW WHEN YOU HEAR WHAT
HAPPENS!
______________
I'm sure I'll be back with
you later..............GOD
BLESS YOU ALL!
TAKE TIME TO PRAISE OUR GOD
AT THIS TIME..............

From Karen
Bunker:
Dear Prayer Teams,
I just got this update from
Kathy Parker regarding
Jason, the young man who was
so critically injured on the
dirt bike. Please read
below:
Karen,
I received a message from
Jammie again, with more news
about Jason. I feel we need
more prayers for Jason and
for Jammie as well as she is
so worried and scared at
this point. Jason's
situation has to be so
frightening to her since he
was placed in this coma, and
I know she needs some
peace. Thank your wonderful
prayer warriors for
continuing to pray for these
young people. I know God
hears all our prayers.
...Jason is now in a
medically induced coma
until the infection in his
lungs is gone. they are
saying that it will be at
least 5 days before they
will even consider surgery.
I feel like if they had done
the surgery on Sunday like
they said we would not be
dealing with this..
Thank you and God bless you
all !!!!!
Love,
Katie
**********************
This has got to be so hard
on this young lady and the
entire family. Please pray
very hard that God will send
His tenderness and His peace
to each of them and that He
will choose to heal him
completely. They have had a
very long week and I am sure
that they are ready for this
to get better.
Let us do our part and I
know that God will do His.
Thank you so much for your
much needed prayers. I will
let you know of any updates.
Love and thanks,

_________________
And, I talked to Karrie Cook
yesterday............she
called me and what a
blessing to hear from her.
She did well while in
Houston and everything is
looking good . They are
"thinking" about a May
surgery. When she called me,
she told me that she had
just yesterday (and was
actually just on her way
home from this) finished up
a one year chemo type
treatment that she has been
taking every 3 weeks since
she finished up her major
first chemo last year at
this time. It was like a
follow up treatment that she
had to take in order to
catch any more residual
cells. She was so thrilled
and elated and wanted to
share it with all of us, who
she feels so thankful to for
the prayers.
You just have to love
Karrie, for all she has been
through and still has to go,
but what an attitude. She is
REALLY going to need the
prayers now that she will
stay well (she is nursing a
head cold, or some type of
sinus thing, right now). She
does not need to get
anything to drag down her
Immune system in the months
ahead. PLEASE PRAY HARD FOR
HER TO STAY WELL AND TO
STRENGTHEN SO SHE WILL BE
READY AND CAN GET THIS OVER
WITH.
LET US ALL KEEP KARRIE IN
OUR DAILY PRAYERS I WILL LET
YOU KNOW AS SOON AS SHE
FINDS OUT WHEN THE TARGET
DATE IS FOR HER SURGERY!!
Love you,
Karrie.............we are
praying and GOD IS
ANSWERING!!

for about 2 weeks with
pneumonia. The are trying
hard to stabilize his labs.
Her is what the present
counts are:
I didn't tell you his labs
from yesterday:
ANC 55
hemoglobin 10.3 (but if you
saw him, you'd thought he
needed blood, because he was
soooo pale)
platelets 128,000 which are
a little low.
Today didn't get better:
ANC 12 (WBC count is .4)
hemoglobin went down to 9.4
platelets 109,000
They still hear some
crackles in his lungs.
Now I don't know what that
means but I know enough to
know it is NOT where it is
supposed to be. This family
is exhausted and they need
our prayers. She said that
he is hardly eating or
drinking anything at all. To

They would love to hear some
encouraging words from this
team of Prayer Warriors.
Please remember this family
in your prayers. It has been
a long road for them as
well.
_____________
Our newest Prayer Warrior,
Carol Culpepper who is a
realtor and who has not been
seeing too much action in
the last year really needs
our prayers for guidance
from God on what to do. We
have been praying that way
for her anyway, but there
has been some activity in
the last couple of weeks and
she is really feeling that
God is active in trying to
let her know what to do. So,
continue to pray and ask God
to make it very clear what
Carol needs to do at this
time.
Carol, we are praying and
hope that things really
start moving along very
soon!
______________
From what I can see, that is
all I have to report at this
time. God bless you all
today and
PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO
PRAISE THE LORD..........HE
HAS BEEN SO GOOD TO ANSWER
US AND WE HAVE MUCH TO
PRAISE HIM FOR !

From
Shirley C.:
I would ask
for prayers for my daughter
and her family. Her husband
was diagnosed with psoriatic
arthritis and fibromyalgia
and has not been able to
work for 3 years because of
extreme pain. She was laid
off from her job, found
another and was transferred
to Montana. She was there
almost a year when the
economy tanked and they
closed the store and she has
been unemployed since April
1 last year. They are
considering divorce and need
prayers for them and their
two young sons. Both are
Christians but when bad
times come we all know
sometimes that falls by the
wayside. Shirley Clancy

From Karen
Bunker:
(I should
have posted this last night.
Sorry Karen. Love you.
God bless)
Good Evening,
I have a prayer request,
once again, for my son Cody.
He called me today and told
me that he has passed 3
kidney stones in the last
two weeks and doesn't know
if he has passed them all
yet or not. He has been in a
lot of pain and one of the
stones is the largest one he
has ever passed. He
continues to try to go to
school and work because he
has no choice but I ask you,
once again, to lift him up
to God in prayer and ask Him
to please heal Cody and
strengthen his immune system
so that he can keep up a
very demanding schedule. He
also has a sinus infection
going and is on antibiotics
for that. I truly appreciate
your prayers on his behalf.
Continue to pray for
Michael, too. He is still
doing much better, but his
stomach, although much
improved, still has a ways
to go. He goes to a new back
doctor on April 15th. Please
pray that he can find some
relief from the pain he
suffers with that back.
And, once again, please pray
that God will give me the
strength to keep up with the
care that my family needs.
The loss of the use of my
legs continues to be a
concern as it seems to
decline weekly. I know that
God is with me and in
control. I just want to be
able to do what I can for
Him and still take care of
my family. I would
appreciate your prayers that
in my weakness, His strength
will be made perfect.
Thank you for your love and
support. God never makes
mistakes so let us Praise
Him and always place our
faith and trust in Him. Good
Night to all of you,
Please pray for our Military
Families, and especially
Maj. John S. Davidson,
U.S.M.C. and his wife, Carie
and daughter, Cadence.
2 Chronicles 7:14 If my
people, which are called by
my name, shall humble
themselves, and pray, and
seek my face, and turn from
their wicked ways; then will
I hear from heaven, and will
forgive their sin, and will
heal their land.
Love in Him,
Karen
