Prayers for a Pastor Friend of mine.

A Pastor friend of mine, Known as Jito, Just got back from a vacation trip in Ecuador, Well to keep it short He was offered a position to pastor a church down there. He really liked it, and asked for prayers about going down there to take the position. We all know there is a lot going on now days and he wants to make sure it's God's will.
Please keep him in your prayers about this. This is what he wrote back to me.

Yes I did like it. I would like for prayers that ask that God would direct my family and I and of course the church in His perfect will,if I am to go to Ecuador ,that God would provide the resources and open doors and remove any obstacles that would hinder what God wills. thanks Dan !

God bless you all and thank you for your Prayers.

Site of fatal train crash near Moorpark

Urgent Prayers for my wife's family.

Please keep my wife's family in your prayers. The man hit here is related to my wife. He has a wife and a daughter and a son. I just wanted to get this prayer request out as soon as possible. It's hard enough for anyone to have to go through something like this. Please pray that God will comfort them and help them all through all this.
Thank you.

A 36-year-old Ventura sales representative on his way to see a client was killed Monday when he drove in front of an Amtrak train at an unguarded track crossing near Moorpark.

Joseph Tillery was driving north across the tracks that parallel Highway 118 near Hitch Boulevard about 10:20 a.m. when a westbound train broadsided his pickup truck and pushed it about a quarter-mile, said Capt. Cliff Williams of the California Highway Patrol’s Moorpark office.

Tillery was a sales representative for Ventura Steel Inc. and was going to visit some clients, said his mother-in-law, Sharon Barker. Tillery and his wife, Brandi, had a 5-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son.

“Joe,” as most people knew him, was a fun-loving guy who everyone instantly liked, Barker said. “He had the most incredible smile,” she said. “Everyone loved him.”

Williams said a CHP officer was working at the nearby truck weigh station when he heard the crash and first reported it.

I have a new prayer request for a good friend of ours. Her husband lost her job. Just as many have, she is asking for prayer. Please help pray for her as well.
Thank you.

This is what she wrote.

Dear Friends, I have a prayer request. My husband still hasn’t found a job. It’s been almost six month’s without work. Please pray that a great opportunity for work will come his way soon. Thank you for your prayers! God Is Faithful.

Love Mel

Prayer for Dwight and His Family

Hey Everyone, I got this email from another pastor friend of mine. He is really getting ready to go through some very major things in his life. Finding out he had lung cancer, and his wife is no longer around to help take care of the kids. He really needs all of our prayers. So please, Lift him up they need a miracle.
God bless you all.

This is what he wrote me.

Hey Buddy,

I know you have your own issue's your trying to deal with lately and I totally respect that. In saying that I have a request (a prayer request).

I wasn't sure I wanted to mention this or post it anywhere but after much consideration I figure maybe I should.

Just this week I learned from my doctor that I have "inoperable" lung cancer. It has been highly suspected for a while now that I had cancer but I needed to go through a battery of procedures before it could be confirmed.

Well, this week the final results came back and what my doctor suspected is true.

During the next several weeks and months I will be going through treatments that may be beneficial and with prayer and faith and trust in God I am hopeful.

I asked my doctor what having this cancer means in terms of life expectancy and he couldn't give me much in the way of an answer. He said it all depends on how well the treatment phase goes.

All I am asking my friend is that you remember me (and especially my family) in prayer if you will.

Thanks buddy, take care and I'll be in touch,
God Bless,

Dwight

My family and I have been riding a roller coaster through life for the last 2 1/2 years. Life was simple before the death of my Grandson, Jonathan. I had a good job, money in the bank and was able to keep all the bills paid.

My wife's medical conditions call for many medications.

Well, to the point--I'm broke. The savings are gone. I'm behind on the homeowners insurance and this may be the last hub I write in awhile. I owe for the internet and I don't have it. Food and heat and gas for work must come first.

A great hubber friend mentioned awhile back that I should ask for some donations. As much as it hurts my pride, I believe that is what I will do. I know and have faith that God will pull us through as He always does, but I do think it never hurts to ask.

We may not be moving now.

Hey Everyone, I just wanted to give you all an Update on our move. Being that it really started raining hard out here with several storms rushing through. I just found out that the place we were supposed to move into is not going to happen.

I know several of you have been praying and I had asked for this to be God's will for us to move. We had really been under some stress here for several reasons about this move. Mostly from not getting any solid answers and not sure what to expect.

But today, I found out that the roof has several leaks in it and it may take quite awhile for them to be fixed. Again, Not sure, and we don't even know now if it's possible to move there anymore or not. One thing We do know is we still need to find another place. Where we are is just way to small and just no room for a family of 5.

So if you can Please keep on Praying. I know God has a plan for us somewhere. Thank you all so much for lifting us up in your prayers. Your Awesome!
Dan

A Prayer of Thanks

I was sent this from a friend, Not sure if she wants to be named. But I thought this to be a very good prayer for all of us. As she asked. Keep it going.
God bless you all.

Lord, I just want to say THANK YOU, because this morning I woke up and knew where my children were. Because this morning my home was still standing, because this morning I am not crying because my husband, my child, my brother or sister needs to be buried or pulled out from underneath a pile of concrete, because this morning I was able to drink a glass of water, because this morning I was able to turn on the light, because this morning I was able to take a shower, because this morning I was not planning a funeral, but most of all I thank you this morning because I still have life and a voice to cry out for the people of Haiti. Lord I cry out to you, the one that makes the impossible, possible, the one that turns darkness in to light, I cry out that you give those mothers strength, that you give them peace that surpasses all understanding, that you may open the streets so that help can come, that you may provide doctors, nurses, food, water, and all that they need in a blink of an eye. For all those that have lost family members, give them peace, give them hope, give them courage to continue to go on! Protect the children and shield them with your power. I pray all this in the name of Jesus!!! To all my friends please continue toforward this so that we can pray together for the people in Haiti. We are truly blessed!!!!!
