April Requests # 5

Individual Needs:

Ana – (AD70.net) Gary’s daughter who is 14yrs old and recently received a kidney transplant. Please pray for: “continued recovery, and that GOD permits her kidney to be accepted by her little body. She is about 60 lbs. Also pray for Anita and me (Gary). UPDATE:  Gary just called to say that Ana’s labs came back and they looked great!  She is doing so well in fact, that she and Anita will be coming home a month early!  Praise God!  Pray for the transition next week from the hospital setting back to the home setting goes smoothly, and please continue to pray for Gary, Anita, and Ana.

Patrick Stone – (SGP) Patrick had surgery on 4/5 to remove the adenocarcinoma.  UPDATE: “The surgery went very well. My surgeon removed the tumor and pretty much the rest of my sinuses to give me a margin. He also took out the skull behind the sinus cavity. During the surgery he discovered another suspicious spot on my dura (the lining of my brain) and removed that as well with margins. The spot turned out to be cancerous as well, which disheartened me at first, but then I realized if the doctors had not saw the spot on the inside of my sinus they may not have found the cancer on my dura until it had gotten into my brain. So I do praise God for his mercy and blessings in all this. I am now talking with a wonderful medical oncologist who specializes in chemotherapy. He has sent the tumor off to do a complete path analysis to determine if and what chemo/drugs will give me an “edge.” Please pray (if the Lord wills) that they will find something that will knock this thing out for good.  Thanks again for everyone’s prayers. I know many of you are going or have been through similar things and your stories really encourage me. God bless you all… Patrick  Oh. One other little praise report. After the radiation I’ve had pretty much constant and severe congestion. During this surgery they actually removed a lot of the radiated tissue. Since then the severe congestion seems to have been almost completely eliminated. I know it’s a small thing, but I am thankful.” 

Melissa & Family – (Pretcosmos group) Melissa’s Uncle Nonnie died suddenly.  Please keep her and her Uncle’s family in your prayers – we will post more info as we get updates.

Rick – (AD70.net) “My Mother died on the 28th of June, 2009. I was her caregiver. We lived a life of solitude. We had moved to Des Moines, IA so that I could marry my high school sweetheart. That didn’t work out. We left our family and friends in Arizona and now that she is gone I am extremely lonely. I’m all-alone in a world of people. Easter is coming up and I don’t want to be alone for the holiday. My family has taken care of the other holidays, by providing a place for me to come, this holiday it seems I’m going to be all-alone. I ask for prayer for my loneliness, as I’m afraid of it on a holiday. Mom was all I had. It seems everyone has someone. I have no one. I fill my time going to AA meetings and looking for a job. Other than that I sit alone in my small condo trying to find then next best thing to do. I’m not doing well right now, and now need prayer for an answer to my lonely life. Thank you for your prayers”.  UPDATE:  We have been unable to connect with Rick since last month…Please pray that he contacts one of the Prayer Warriors who have been reaching out to him so that he knows we are here for him.

Ministries:

Apocalypse One – Lincoln Springer.  This is a ministry that acts as a central point for people to go to in order to learn about fulfilled redemption.  “Pray that God will give me the wisdom to make prudent decisions concerning the promotion of Preterism. And ask Him, if it be His will, to give me all that is needed to accomplish this task. I am so thankful for the eleven people that volunteered to hand out the flyers. Pray that the number of volunteers will continue to grow, so that, we can continue to promote and grow the preterist community.”  Also pray that the flyers and business cards that are being handed out open dialogue and hearts and that meaningful discussion occurs that would bring healing to the nations.

 AD70.net Show/Hosts:

Intro to Ethics – Edward Hassertt.  Airs on Wednesdays at 9am PST.  This is a course discussing a Preterist Worldview and Christian Ethics.  Course began with a brief history of ethics and how non-Christian ethics use parts of a genuine Christian Ethic but miss the whole; as well as, an introduction to a scriptural view of ethics.  This is the foundation for a much broader discussion of Christian Ethics, which will be covered as the weeks progress.  All course material may be found at: www.preteristchurch.com and archived podcasts may be found at: www.preteristradio.com just click on Ethics.  Pray also for Ed as he continues to step out in faith and be open to God’s leading in his life.
