Chris Pridgen Praise for Ed
Praise report on my husband Ed, he had his three month follow up for a Pet scan, CT scan and scope and there is no sign of cancer nor is there any sign of a tumor ever being on the base of his tongue. Doctor said everything looks completely normal, Only God! The doctor said he will not have to have another Pet scan or CT scan again, however he will need to have the scope down his nostril to take a look at the base of his tongue every three month.
God is so amazing, I don’t know what we would have done without him as he carried my husband through when he didn’t think he could go on.
Hallelujah and Praise Jesus.
Thank you for your continued support and prayers throughout our journey.
Keep praying through your situation because God is faithful. Love you all!

URGENT Update: Please continue prayers for our sweet 15 year old granddaughter's mental health. She desperately needs treatment in a residential facility. She was released from a temporary facility Friday into her father's care, but had to be involuntarily committed Saturday night. She hates everyone and is threatening suicide. The current temporary facility will release her after 7 days and doesn't help find a new place. After several days of constant calling, we found a bed available. When she attempted suicide in June, she was incorrectly registered in a Medicaid plan that doesn't pay for long term care. Please pray that Medicaid will approve today the request sent several weeks ago for long term care. Please pray for the family as we're somewhat numb from stress and developing health problems from it. Thank you so much.

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.

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.

Please pray that more Englewood families get licensed and trained in the Foster & Adoption initiative. There are more than 10,000 children in NC’s foster system. We need more families to provide a caring, Christian home.

Our daughters are trapped in a worldly lifestyle. They have both accepted the Lord, but have drifted far from Him. Please pray for our daughters to return to the Lord and a Godly lifestyle. I pray they meet godly men to influence them, as they are now far away from us.

Tina Campbell :pray for my brother
3/4/23: Update on my brother’s situation: Sadly, he is listening to the father of lies telling him his happiness is more important than God’s will. He has chosen a path that is leading him further from God. Please pray for him to repent.
-----------------------------
Original Request: Please pray the Holy Spirit will speak truth to my brother as he struggles with the lies the evil one whispers about the source of happiness.

Please pray for my brother, Tyree. Please pray for his Salvation and for God to intervene and bring him to a contrite heart and to repentance so that he will no longer hold envy, jealousy, and covetousness in his heart for others and do harmful things to them.
Please also pray for God to help him to make amends with everyone he has hurt in any way. Thank you for your prayers.
Many blessings to you!

Tina Armstrong: Pray for Alton Baker
Pray for Alton Baker, my ex-husband. He was just diagnosed with Stage 3 cirrhosis of the liver from his Crohns medications, as well as 4 bad heart valves.
Sadly, it is believed that the Covid vaccine has caused the heart issues. He needs a miracle. But, more importantly, he needs salvation. He says he is a believer, but I am not sure.
Thank you for praying.

Pray for Baptist Children's Homes
There are 16,000+children without homes in the state of North Carolina alone!
Praise the Lord, that more than 120 children currently have safe, caring homes as a result of families saying “yes” to becoming licensed foster care parents.
BCH has been been providing a variety of placement and prevention services to meet the specific needs of children and families through their many programs including Cottage Care, Family Care, Community Outreach Ministry, Orphan Care, Family Foster Care and others.
Although we can’t help every child, you can be a difference maker for even one child giving them a bright hope for the future.
Join with us in prayer, that our own church, and churches throughout North Carolina would each care for at least 4 of the 16,000 children in North Carolina's foster care system! If Baptist Children's Homes and the local church met that goal, every child would have a caring home!
