Prayer Requests

Pray for Kaiden Howie, son of Kenton & Stina, who was baptized today.

Pray for Derick Breen, son of Nate & Mary Beth, who was baptized today.

Pray for Rose Johannsen, daughter of Drew & Tamara, who was baptized today.

Pray for our new members: Ed & Carol Schumacher.

Pray for Tom Kamp as he recovers from surgery after receiving a pacemaker.

Pray for our mission partners JeanJean & Kristie Mompremier as their community (which is still safe) is helping many Port-au-Prince refugees. Haiti has over 362,000 people that are internally displaced, and although the Prime Minister has resigned, gang violence continues. Even in the midst of this, God is at work as over 80 people will be baptized at their harvest festival. Thanks be to God.

We celebrate with Ron Katje that his non-Hodgkins lymphoma has been reduced to half the size it was six months ago! Ron has a few more months of chemo pills.

Pray for those who are homebound: June Bouma. Prairie Ridge: Marian Clark, Fran Koets, Bev Grienke, June Vanden Berge, Gordon Brumels, Al Dew, Jeanne Feekes, Joyce Van Gorp, Chuck & Arlene Lubbers. Landsmeer: Phyllis Scorza.
