My nephew is 10 years old and they found that he has bone cancer on his upper right shoulder. It's so sudden the doctor already started a chemo for him. Seeing him is hard, I know he hurts, but he doesn't show it. He is active and full of joy and life. We want him to know that we all love him.
Please pray for Josiah as he is exploring becoming a missionary. He is currently fundraising for a 10-month-long training opportunity that takes place in Peru. Pray for wisdom as he learns from Scripture about sharing the gospel, and pray for his funding to come successfully and timely.
Please pray for my niece, as she is in the final stages of her battle with Leptomeningeal disease, coupled with a brain tumor. She is now in hospice care surrounded by close family that are having to watch her slowly passes. She is only 27 years old and has a 3 year old son. Her life has been a constant testimony of Jesus' love and she has incredible unwavering faith. She has literally touched hundreds of lives and is an inspiration and a light to everyone who knows her. Please pray for the strength of the family in the days to come, that they will find rest in His promise of her being in a new body and in His loving arms.
I've worked so hard to keep my family afloat. We began falling behind in our taxes last year and I'm sure it'll be the same story for this year as well. It's beginning to snowball. I can't stand feeling fearful over this. I know that God is good, and that He has promised to take care of us, but right now, I just can't see how that's going to happen. I just need prayer to help me stay strong in my faith.
I work for a company that has seasonal employment. This means that we work for a time and are laid off. This season was much shorter. So many of us were laid off early. We hear the questions. Why do you continue to work for them, why not find something that does not lay off every year, is that worth the stress? The truth is they are a good company. Many of us have found benefits here during peak season that we have not had with past companies. We have a job that helps others. It is important to us that we make a small difference in the lives of others. So if you will pray for us during this off-peak season. Money will be tighter since unemployment will run out sooner and be less with the shorter season. Jobs are hard to come by and with most employers using online hiring, it is hard to figure out what is a scam and what is real.
There were hundreds of us laid off in 3 states. We have single-income families, single parents, people with disabilities, and those who have become accustomed to working from home and will not have childcare if they work outside the home due to affordability.
We are not expecting to return to work until November. This is a long time to struggle and is very stressful.
Thank you all for your prayers.
