PRAYER WALL

Ed

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!

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!!!!

40 Day Pray for EBC - God already knows, Why pray?

God’s word says to pray continually. As we enter this time of searching for a new pastor, we know that God already knows who the man is to lead us in the next chapter of EBC. Surely God can take care of our need without our asking, but when we ask, we are acknowledging that He alone is God.

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

“Ask me and I will tell you and tell you some remarkable secrets about what is going to happen here” (Jeremiah 33:3)

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.

My family and I need your prayers as we continue to go through a very difficult time with my sister that is mentally unhealthy and unstable. I’ve dealt with her unhealthiness for years and it’s worn me down to the point that I had to set boundaries and not get around her. She lies, deceives, and lives a very unhealthy life. I’m praying for salvation for her, and that God protects us from her. Through this I’m asking God to continue to strengthen us, protect us, and allow us to keep our eyes on him!

8/7 Update on my husband Ed,

we are a month out from his treatments and he is getting a little stronger every day. Two weeks ago we went to Duke for bloodwork and to see the chemo doctor. His bloodwork levels were improving and the doctor said he was pleased. We go back tomorrow Tuesday the 8th and the radiation doctor will put a scope down his nostril and take a look at the base of his tongue. Three weeks into his radiation he did this same procedure and the cancer was 75-80% gone. He had radiation for seven weeks so please pray the it’s 100% gone. We are so trusting God for an awesome outcome. Thank you for being with us through this journey and your prayers. Hope to be back in church soon!

7/8/23 Update on my husband Ed, this past Wednesday July 5th was his last radiation treatment and over a week ago his last chemotherapy. Praise God we are done, just some follow up appointments with bloodwork in two weeks and then in four weeks they will put a scope down his nostril and take a look. Three months from now, he will have another pet scan so please continue to pray for good results. Also pray for a speedy recovery that he will get stronger and get all his taste buds back. Thank you! God is so good!

------------------------------------------

4/5/23 UPDATE: Ed, just returned home from Duke Health for consultation and with all that’s going on, they had already reviewed his records and did the biopsy while we were there. The preliminary findings are that he has squamous cell carcinoma and now we are waiting for an appointment for the Pet scan. So continue to pray for him! Thanks.
