12 March 2009 - Special Prayer Request

Ryan Wyckoff (15), son of Kevin and Lisa Wyckoff friends of the Arnold family from Wasilla, Alaska, is currently hospitalized in Seattle with apparent liver failure of unknown origin. Currently they are attempting to find out from where the problem has arisen. There are a few choices, some pretty benign, others not so. Please pray the doctors, nurses and technicians who treat him will pay attention and do their best. The Wyckoff’s faith is broad, as well as deep. Pray they continue to pull with together with God in all this, accepting all the help He gives them. Please pray for them to pay attention to their daily lives so nothing untoward happens while they are concentrating on their son.

Kitty, very good friend of Susanne Barrett, is having emergency appendectomy surgery on 12 March 2009, at Grossmont Hospital in La Mesa. Please pray for wisdom for her doctors and for no complications. She has requested no visitors at the hospital or Susanne would be down there. If all goes well, she should be able to go home 13 March 2009. Please keep Kitty in your prayers.

Judy Reisor made a miraculous recovery from a stroke related coma. Please give thanks for her recovery. Doctors are now considering surgery for the hip break which precipitated the stroke. Please pray for guidance for the surgeons and that she would accept the peace God’s love will give her.

The Why, The Who and The How

Why? Prayer is an extremely important activity.

It is not that God knows not our needs, for He surely does. Yet, Jesus commanded us to ask God for those same needs. In addition to the obvious of asking God for help, offering thanksgiving and the like, prayer helps us focus our thoughts on how we might do God's work.

The Prayer Team of the Alpine Anglican Church of the Blessed Trinity was established to help our members and fellow Christians pray for those in need and to give thanks as well for the blessings we have been granted.

Who can be on the list? Do I have to be a member of the Blessed Trinity Church to be prayed for?

No! The only qualification to be on the list is that you want our prayer team to pray for you. We are Christians and are happy to pray for you, no matter who you are. If you want help from God, you are our kind of people.

What is the commitment from the prayer team?

Each member of the team will pray for the desired outcome at last once per day.

How do I get myself or someone else on the prayer list?

You can email one of the prayer team leaders: Greg - gnchase@cox.net or Dru - dru@descansorodents.com, or call the church office at (619) 722-1772 or fill out a prayer card at church.

What should I ask for?

Depends on what you want. Some people merely want God to be asked to heal their ills and be mentioned by their first name, others want a specific outcome and / or have more of their personal information known to the team. Ask for what you want. It is your desire and need for prayer the team is attempting to meet. For typical examples, see the list below.

Updating the Team

If you are on our prayer list, or if you have submitted a person that you have asked us to pray for, please update one of the team members or Father Acker in person, by telephone or email. It helps to be able to pray specifically for these individuals including their specific needs; plus if they get better, it is nice to give thanks!

Please note that on the yellow (maybe green or orange if you got an old one) cards at church, you can ask that those to be prayed for have their names disseminated to the "prayer team". Those names will be said in church and appear here. Or, you can ask that their names and purpose be kept confidential, then only Father Acker will know to pray for them.
