Carmen is my home town ( from Romania) pastor's wife. These past couple of weeks she seamed to have some heart problems so her husband insisted to take her to Timisoara( a large city) for further investigation. The result that came was not what they expected. As the doctors did some test and ultra sounds they discovered some spots on her liver. A clear diagnosis was not given yet but the doctors told the pastor that she has some type of cancer in her body. Might be liver cancer.. might be spread in her body?! They do not know yet! PLEASE KEEP HER IN YOUR PRAYERS! PLEASE KEEP THE ENTIRE FAMILY IN YOUR PRAYERS! They are a couple very dear to us! Thank you and God bless! ...................................... GOOD NEWS! Carmen had a biopsy at one of the best clinics in Romania and the test came negative! She does NOT HAVE cancer. She still has to go through a lot of treatments because she has some medical problems but THANK GOD SHE IS CANCER FREE! GOD STILL CAN DO miracles!!! Anyways whether she ever had cancer or not, we do not know ... all we know at this point is what the doctors told her! THANK YOU SO MUCH for YOUR PRAYERS!!! THEY MEAN THE WORLD TO THEM! THANK YOU ON BEHALF OF HER FAMILY!

This is a very special prayer request for my sister. She just had a miscarriage due to a "cyst" ( don't know how to call it) on her uterus. She had some tests to see if there is any tumor of any kind and the results came well but she still worries about the surgery that she must have in the following weeks. Please keep her in your prayers... that she will be strong in her faith in God and that the doctors will take that "thing" away and that she will be able to have lots of children! We know that God answers prayers so we ask you to join us in prayer for her! Thank you so much! Ica ............................ THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR PRAYERS! THE SURGERY WENT WELL. SHE IS STILL IN THE PROCESS OF RECOVERING FROM THE SURGERY BUT ALL IS WELL! THE DOCTOR TOLD HER THAT SHE WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE BABIES! PRAISE GOD! ISN'T IT TRUE THAT WE HAVE SUCH A WONDERFUL GOD AND FATHER! ON BEHALF OF MY SISTER AND HER HUSBAND LOTS OF THANKS FOR YOUR PRAYERS!

Please pray for our friend's little girl! Her name is Nina and she is about 9 years old. She just had a heart surgery and her heart beat / pulse is too high and needs to slow down. We ask you to pray to our Father to touch her, to give the doctors wisdom and the family comfort and assurance that they and their little girl is in His loving hands! For those of you that have been praying for little Nina, I have some good news. She is ok now - she is still in the process of recovery but she is out of danger and the heart surgery was a succes! PRAISE BE TO GOD! Doctors treat patients but HOD HEALS THEM!

Intimacy with God is an island of sanity in a sea of confusion. It is a quiet place, and it is ours. Whenever we look up into the face of our Father... whenever we reach for His hand... whenever we quiet our spirit to hear His voice... we have found a place of refuge and intimacy that nothing in this crazy world can take away. from "Intimacy with God" by Johny Eareckson Tada

"Love is extravagant in the price it is willing to pay, in the time it is willing to give, the hardship it is willing to endure, and the strength it is willing to spend. Love never thinks in the terms of " how little", but always in terms of "how much." Love gives, love knows, love lasts. and that is what God has given us. The quality that marks the ministry of God's love for us is the sheer extravagance of giving His most precious gift... His Son. When the Father considered ransoming sinful, wretched men and women such as us, I don't think He thought in the terms of how little He should give, but HOW MUCH. Our hearts should - must - overflow with thankfulness and gratitude for all our Father has given. He has made the way open to INTIMACY WITH HIS GREAT HEART."

"Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading." by Oswald Chambers

"FAITH and WORKS are as inseparable as the sun and sunlight. Faith is the sun; good works are its rays."

As gloves are to a surgeon's hands, so are Christians in service for God. It is actually "God's hand" doing the work. We are but used by Him and therefore have nothing to boast of.

"Faith is a living, busy, active, powerful thing; it is impossible for it not to do us good continually. It never asks whether good works are to be done, but has done them before there is time to ask the question, and it is always doing them." by MARTIN LUTHER
