22 April 2010 - Special Prayer Request

Carl, Susanne Barrett’s dad had chest pains while visiting Hawaii, he needs a stent in one of his arteries, which will be done tomorrow. Please pray for a successful procedure with no complications. Carl does not have a relationship with Christ, so please pray for him to see that he needs Jesus--he's a self-made man who has always been able to do everything himself. Susanne’s husband sent him some Christian materials earlier this week, so please pray what was shared with Carl will resonate with him and draw him to Christ.

Michelle Cannariato (a former student of Susanne Barrett) has what appears to be a benign tumor in her heart. Michelle married Nick Cannariato this past Saturday; that evening, after they arrived at their hotel, Michelle had a stroke. She had a stroke, in a deep part of her brain, affecting her right side. The doctor termed the size of the stroke as "medium." As you may imagine, a stroke for a 20 year old is very unusual, the golf ball sized tumor in the heart is also unusual. Anyway, as soon as Michelle recovers from the stroke, they will do open heart surgery at Scripps-La Jolla. Please pray for peace of mind for Michelle and Nick and guidance for the medical team.

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.
