Urgent Prayer Requests

This week has been a trying one, but the Lord has been faithful! We wanted to share a couple prayer concerns that are on our hearts right now. Please join us in lifting these up to the Lord. It is our intent to be honest with you all about what we are struggling with, rejoicing in, and experiencing as we seek to follow the Lord's leading for our lives...

Last Monday on the way to work, Phil was in a car accident. No one was injured, but our car got pretty smashed up in the front. Thankfully it was all cosmetic and we will be getting it back, all repaired, sometime next week. Praise God no one was seriously injured! However, the accident has activated an old injury that Phil had. He hurt his back at work several years ago and wasn't able to work for 9 months. Last week, his back started to hurt again after the accident and the pain has not been alleviated as of yet. Please pray that the Lord would heal his back and make him free of pain.

Now, even more personal, we also ask that you please lift up Amy's brother's family in prayer. Without going into any in-depth details, Satan is attacking them. Please pray that her brother would be strong in the Lord during this difficult time and that his wife would be given Spiritual wisdom and truth that only comes from the Lord and that they both will experience the love God chose to give them; the love for His bride, the reason His son shed his blood, the love they committed to share together when they took their wedding vows. Please pray that the Lord would rescue their marriage. They have two young children. This is why what is happening with them saddens our hearts the most! Please pray that during this time of spiritual war, their children will still see the joy of the Lord and that their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs from their parents will be met. We know that Amy's brother is a believer and he really needs the strong support of other believers praying alongside him right now.

This has all weighed heavily on Amy as it is difficult thinking about moving further away while this is going on at home. Please pray for peace of mind for her and her trusting the Lord.

Thank you all for reading this and for joining us in prayer. We hope to find out about our approval to New Orleans within the next week or so and will let you know when and what we find out.
