Cecila Whitehead
Cecila, Linda Jones sister, is sick with pneumonia and her right lung is filled with fluid that needs to be removed by a specialized surgeon in Chapel Hill. They are waiting for a bed to be available to move her there.
Would you please pray for Cecila to be encouraged while her body is just tired, for her to begin to feel better and for some answers to come.
Please pray for a bed to open in God's perfect timing so that she can have this surgery. Pray for the surgery to go well, the fluid to be removed easily and provide answers.

Please keep a friend Michael and Elizabeth Mahan. They are the directors for the Ambassadors for Christ Camp in West Virginia where many of us have served over the years. Michael has Parkinsons Disease and is struggling right now. This makes it very tough on a guy who really just want to be out sharing Christ with others. This also puts a big strain on Elizabeth as she is trying to still run/take care of Gods Camp, Michael, and her mother that lives with them. Please lift Michael up as he is struggling to push back against symptoms that are becoming insurmountable. This of course taxes the mental/emotional tank. Spiritually he has the childlike faith in the world and is just not able to push up hill any longer. Thank you in advance for praying for this special family, and servants of the Lord!

Please pray for her mother, brother, and sister who are each under extreme stress from medical/work-related issues. Please pray for wisdom and physical strength for us all during this confusing time. Thank you so much.

Hello friends, please keep praying for us to find a church!! We have sooo many to pick from but most of them have been eliminated from the list due to having female pastors or the congregation seems bored and dead, as if they don't even want to be there. This is not a super easy or fun process, as most of churches near us do not hold the same beliefs that we do. Plus they're quite small, which I am not particularly used to, though I am willing to be.
Pray: - that we will find a new church to connect with in His timing
- that He will continue to grow me through this journey and teach me to be fully reliant on Him
- that when we find one, I will have enough courage to actually speak. Sounds funny, I know, but you guys have not seen how shy I am with new people
- that there will be a decent youth pastor and people I can connect with, as well as mission projects to take part in
- and eventually...... to be able to serve with the praise team of that church.
Thank you guys SO MUCH for your prayers and don't forget, I'm still praying for all of you!!! Miss you all and love you guys to death!! Thanks!!!!

So, as we humble ourselves and lay aside our willfulness and worry, we admit our desire to seek and obey Him.

From Amy Lancaster--
Mark is declining, he has a fever, his oxygen is decreasing to mid 80's and he is very weak. They initially diagnosed him with pneumonia and adenovirus but yesterday's chest x ray showed a small pleural effusion.
they are repeating the x-ray this morning to see if it's getting larger but a plural effusion can be pretty serious. Sometimes requiring tapping into the lungs to drain the fluid.
He's only breathing through his mouth, so they have attached the oxygen to a cup to help him to breathe. The mask was too difficult for his autism.
In his whole life, he's never been sick. He's very very sick and needs prayer like never before.
Please pray for Mark.

40 Days of Prayer for EBC
Day 1
What do we do? Is a question that many will ask during this season in the life of Englewood. What we do is pray and we continue sharing the Gospel message of Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world. Realistically, we know that prayer is
the most important thing we can do during this pastoral search. It is difficult - just ask Peter, James, and John (Matthew 26:36 – 46). It has been said by those who consult with churches during these times of transition that a lack of prayer is one of the biggest mistakes made during the process.
Begin today by praying;
* asking God for His continued blessings on EBC,
* for His guidance as our search team enters this time of seeking God’s direction,
* for stamina to continue praying for as long as it takes,
* for us to be sensitive to God’s leading during this time of transition,
*to remember to pray for our leadership at EBC in the days to come.

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.

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

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

Please continue to pray for my mother and family. Her biopsy results came in yesterday and they confirmed she has bone cancer. Multiple myeloma. She is in a lot of pain. The Doctors want her to start radiation therapy. They are also going to scan her entire body to determine if the cancer is in other parts of her body. As of right now we only know that it is in her arms. We lost our dad 6 years ago and this news so soon after loosing him is really upsetting for all of us. I want to thank everyone who has been praying for us. Every time I get a notification that someone has prayed for me it gives me a sense of peace and encouragement and I greatly appreciate your prayers.
