Please be in prayer for a young man by the name of Mathew. He is the nephew of EBC member G. Morris.

Kayla Jones - Pray for Camden
I have a friend in Raleigh. Her name is Chelsea and her husbands name is Stephen and they have a two week old little boy named Camden. Camden is their rainbow baby. They have had three miscarriages before him and have been trying for 2.5 years to have a child. When Camden was born, they discovered that there was an issue with his heart. He was immediately put on ECMO and on a ventilator. last week they discovered that the issue with his heart was the arteries that provide oxygenated blood to his lungs were incredibly small. Unfortunately, the doctors have told Chelsea and Stephen that there is nothing else they can do for Camden. And they are more than likely going to have to be making a very difficult decision for that little boy in the next couple of days. I asked for all the prayers for Chelsea, Stephen, and Camden and their families. Prayers that they will be at peace with whatever decision they decide to make in the coming days. I pray that they will feel the presence of the Lord during this incredibly difficult time. I pray that they will feel God’s church surround them, and lift him up during all of this and in the coming days, weeks and months

Candis was released from UNC Chapel Hill Saturday just in time for her baby shower. She went back to Nash Women's Center Monday and did labs and a Non Stress Test. They told her everything looked good. Her red blood cell count looked alot better. It was a little low but not as low as it was last week. She went for her regular OBGYN appointment today. Dr. VanZant is referring her back to Rex to see a High Risk OBGYN because of everything that was going on with her last week. She sees them on September 6th. They have said the baby is fine that her weight is where it should be. Her heart beat has been real strong and she is very active. Candis goes back to Nash OBGYN tomorrow for another Non Stress Test and a ultrasound. Please continue to pray that she can hold out at least another 5-6 weeks before delivering the baby. That would put her at 37-38 weeks. We appreciate all the prayers.

Please agree in prayer asking the Lord to help parents learn the painful consequences of choosing to abort their baby. Bring the right people into their lives to clearly explain the truth. The lie our culture offers is that abortion is the best answer - eliminate the baby & the “problem” is solved. Reality brings many lives filled with emotional and physical issues after abortion. This also opens the door for lifelong regrets for many moms & dads. May no plan of the enemy succeed against them!

7/24 Update:
Derek Stallings has now been moved to Bryan T Aldridge Rehab Center. He is doing much better. Please pray for continued healing and recovery.
--------------------------------------------
7/11 Update
Derek is doing so good ! He is mouthing some words now! Rehab evaluated him this morning and said he is ready to begin rehab and will be moved downstairs for that. But not sure when yet because they want his heart rate and oxygen level to stay at the right levels. They plan to do a swallowing test today so pray he passes that with flying colors so he doesn’t have to have a stomach peg.
Please keep him lifted to the father !
---------------------------------------------
Update 7/3 for Derek Stallings:
Derek is lifting his right arm and leg some now. They are also giving him something to help stimulate a little... similar to drinking a cup of coffee. Please pray specifically today for Derek to wake up and be able to have purposeful movement. They want to take the ventilator off but he has to be able to cough and clear his throat for himself before they will remove it. Also please continue to pray for complete healing of his brain - no lasting damage.
--------------------------------------------
Update 6/29: Dereck Stallings
They have cut back further on vent sedation. He has a touch of pneumonia but they are confident they caught it early and are giving antibiotics. They said he almost where he needs to be to remove the vent and don't think the pneumonia will hurt that. They will wait 24 hours before trying to remove the vent while on the antibiotics. He did open one eye today and the doctor said to expect more as the day progresses. Seeing some progress!! Please continue to pray as God knows all the answers!

Original request:
Please pray for Derrick Stallings. He is in ICU at Vidant Hospital. He fell at work hitting his head. They were able to stop the bleeding on the front of his brain so now just pray that his cranial pressure will go down and that his body will absorb all of the blood on his brain. Please keep this family in your prayers.

7/14 Update on Ashley:
Ashley had surgery yesterday (7/13/23 for that mass they found on her uterus and they determined it was in fact cancerous.
They had to remove an ovary.
The doctor also found a spot on her bowel that she didn’t like the look of, so they’re waiting for pathology results on that. If it’s cancerous, that means it’s at a higher stage. They will know more about next steps when pathology results are in.
Plase continue to pray for this precious couple as they could need to make a decision to either fight with chemo & try for fertility still or remove everything with a hysterectomy. Pray they will seek the Lord in their decision and feel His love through all of this. Pray for better pathology results for the area on her bowel and that this will not diminish their chances at childbirth if it’s God’s will.
------------------------------------------
Ashley is the General Manager of one of my daughter’s stores in Wilmington, NC.
She found out she has a mass on her uterus & while the doctor doesn’t think it’s cancer, they won’t know until they get in there to remove it.
She’s terrified they could end up having to remove more that could cause her to not be able to have kids
Please pray that the mass will be minimal and that at the very least this precious young woman will be able to have children, which we know is her & her husband’s heart’s desire!
Ask the Lord to give Ashley a peace that she will realize only comes from the Lord and pray that if it’s God’s will, that the surgery will be non-evasive and that the tumor will be non cancerous.

I rarely ask for prayer for myself because there are so many in more need than myself. However I have been going through something for the past year that only God can heal. I am thankful for my blessings and pray asking for healing every day and I know healing is in his time but asking for extra prayers couldn’t hurt. Thank you for praying for me.

Hello to all! I would like help praying for my family to be all together under one roof. I pray that my court date goes very well July 31. My boyfriend/kids father has started back drinking. He went through rehab with me and I was very strong because of the grace of God and I didn’t want to turn back. I think he started up again and I can tell he’s starting to be jealous or upset that he didn’t get the proper treatment to make him stay away from alcohol but I did. I love him, but don’t know what to do because I don’t want to end up going back down that path. Please pray for my oldest son that’s been affected through all of this, pray for my youngest son that’s just so forgiving and so innocent. Please pray for me to keep myself strong. Please pray for family. Thank you so much for listening. love you all

All went well in the surgery. Hoping to be discharged over the weekend. A good bit of scar tissue was removed to find the ovary and extra time was required to separate the intestinal tract from the abdominal wall. Full recovery expected to be 8 weeks. Please pray that the three drains can be removed before we leave the hospital in Winston-Salem.

Additional a large hernia that has caused numerous blockages over the past few years will be repaired. Please pray for wisdom and skill as two teams work together.

Please pray for my mom. She fell and broke her arm and tailbone. She is in so much pain. She's screaming and wincing and I've never seen a human in so much constant suffering. Pray she can find relief and begin to recover.

Many were not interested but some were. Pray that God's spirit will open their eyes to the truth of Jesus.

Pray for the Western Pashtun of Iran
Pray for the Western Pashtun of Iran
Population: 2,395,000
Religion: Islam-Sunni
The Western Pashtun of Iran are Unengaged and Unreached.
Bibles, Jesus films, and gospel recordings are all available in their language, but to date, there have been no known believers who have reached and shared the gospel with the Western Pashtun.
Join us in praying for believers to reach this people group, and that they would have opportunity to share that Jesus is the Light of the World and the only True God. Pray that many will learn and understand the truth of His Word and be saved.
