Prayer Requests

2012-01-25T13:59:00.000-08:00

Please pray for Susanne's friend Tiffanie in North Carolina and her family. This week, Connor, the child of Tiffanie's cousin Christy, died of SIDS on his first birthday. Please pray for Christy and her family, and especially for Tiffanie as Christy is staying with her as they make arrangements for Connor's burial instead of for his first birthday party.

In addition, Tiffanie's cousin, Mike, aged 27, has been diagnosed with inoperable stage 4 lymphoma. He'll be undergoing chemotherapy, but his prognosis doesn't look promising.

Please pray for Christy, Mike, and all of Tiffanie's family during these difficult days. May these tragic circumstances draw them closer to the God who loves them with an everlasting love!!

Prayer:
George S., whose cancer has spread from his bladder to several other places in his body, is undergoing daily radiation at this time, and is in extreme pain. The pain medications are doing little to offer him relief. George lives in Georgia with his wife and two teens; he will be seeing his oncologist on Friday. Pray for pain relief and for shrinkage of his tumors.

Prayer and Praise:
Bishop B. writes us:
"Never underestimate the power of prayer. Cathie is still undergoing chemotherapy and will probably continue on it for quite a while. It is working as the tumor in her lung has decreased in size by about forty percent. The lesions in her brain for the most part have disappeared except for three or four which have increased in size by a bit. The Docs are keeping a watch on these. She is feeling pretty good these days although she is quite tired which goes along with the chemo. The oncologist says there is no cure for lung cancer but we are praying for a remission to occur. I would ask you all to continue to keep her in your prayers as that is the best treatment she can have. +Richard. (retired but working on a new job of caregiver)."

Thank you for joining us in prayer and praise!

Prayer for Laurie S.

2011-09-24T11:32:00.000-07:00

Laurie Steinberg went to be with God a little after 8:00 on Friday, September 23. Please continue to pray for Allison's family and Laurie in his new life.

I AM the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord:
he that believeth in me, though he were dead,
yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and
believeth in me, shall never die.

O GOD, whose mercies cannot be numbered;
Accept our prayers on behalf of the soul of
thy servant departed, and grant him an
entrance into the land of light and joy, in
the fellowship of thy saints; through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.

Father Keith Acker, SSC

May your everlasting light shine upon him.

New Prayer Request: Allison's Dad

2011-09-22T16:53:00.000-07:00

Allison's father was diagnosed with cancer about three months ago. He is only 58 years old. Things have not gone well. A few weeks ago, they were told he only has 6 months to a year to live. Yesterday morning, that was reassessed as a week to ten days. Last night, they said he has about 48 hours.

Please pray for Allison as she travels to be with her family and for her father that he may have a holy death.

Prayer Request for Sarah Casiple

2011-09-04T13:43:00.000-07:00

Rollo and Sarah Casiple ministered to the youth of San Diego through several churches, including Lake Murray Community Church where Rollo was the worship and youth pastor. It took two people to replace Rollo when God called Rollo, Sarah, and their five children to minister in inner-city Miami where they currently live. Rollo is senior pastor at La Vina Community Church.

This morning Rollo posted on Facebook:

The good news is this…

Cancer is So Limited

It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot eat away at peace
It cannot destroy confidence
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot shut out memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot reduce eternal life
It cannot squelch the Spirit
It cannot lessen the power of the resurrection

My wife Sarah was found to have ovarian cancer. The doctors removed most of the cancer through the surgery but there are some spots on her peritoneum that will need to be treated with chemotherapy. The doctor was very optimistic and positive about Sarah’s prognosis. We are too. Not because of what we know about the improved treatments for cancer but because of what we know about our glorious God, the power of the Gospel and the undeniable future awaiting Sarah, myself and all who believe.

It is impossible to tell you all the thoughts and emotions Sarah and I have felt over the last few days. Cancer was certainly a reality going into this surgery and was without a doubt our worst fear. It was hard to not feel like Sarah had received a death sentence when we heard the news. But, God is turning our fear into peace. His Word is moving that peace into confidence. And now, we see him moving that confidence into a spirit of determination to overcome. Our doctors and nurses have said to us many times in the last few days that we have a “fight” ahead of us. Undoubtedly, there is fight we face but it’s not against cancer. It’s against the spirit of fear, depression and complacency that comes from feeling that we are limited by cancer or anything else in this world. The reality is that we were already facing very weighty life altering issues before all this happened. God is using this to build the endurance and tenacity to face those things as well.

So thank you for praying. God is answering your prayers. One of our friends sent a prayer that God would glorify Himself in amazing ways in and through Sarah really resonated with us. We see God doing so IN her (and me too :) and are excited about what God will do THROUGH her in the upcoming days. Again, thank you for your prayers. I have read every single one of them to her and it has been a great encouragement to both Sarah and myself.

(Psa 138:7-8 NIV) Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes, with your right hand you save me. {8} The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O LORD, endures forever…

So please join in praying for Sarah's complete recovery, for peace for Rollo and the five Casiple children, and for God's glory to shine through this extraordinary family as they live this opportunity to trust in God's grace and sovereignty.

Prayer for Pastor Benthin

2011-08-27T21:33:00.000-07:00

Bob Benthin, pastor to seniors at Lake Murray Community Church in La Mesa, was rushed to Scripps La Jolla tonight after having a heart attack. The paramedics said that his vitals were good when they started transporting him.

Pastor Benthin was raised Anglican and studied to become an Anglican priest in his early 20s. He's now in his seventies. Please pray for his complete recovery and peace for his wife, Annette.

Thanks for praying,
Susanne

New Requests for 6/15/11

2011-06-15T10:17:00.000-07:00

Rede (Father Acker's mother) fell while my folks were visiting my critically ill uncle (Charles A) who is having a risky arterial surgery in his neck later this week (50/50 survival rate). As you may remember, this is one break in a long series of breaks and surgeries for his mother.

Victor (husband of one of our members who is agnostic) had another "mini-stroke." Victor has been in declining health. When Father Acker last spoke with him, he seems to believe in God, but hasn't accepted His salvation as far as Father can tell.

Carrie is in the seeking process and believes she would like to be baptized. Father Acker met with her yesterday morning and will meet with her again later this week. He is helping her to come to make a decision to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. It was a positive meeting. Please pray for their next meeting together.

Father Acker is also down with a cold which both Alice and he believe they picked up on the airplane return on Saturday. Hopefully he did not spread it to others Monday or Tuesday morning.
