We Need Your Help!

Southern Sonshine is not currently meeting and is seeking new leadership. This Ultreya is in the Earlville area please prayerfully consider whether God is calling you to take the leadership and organization of this group.

Secretariat is also in immediate need of some people to take over the responsibility of Cleanup Coordinator(s). As many of you know Sue has been called to a church and will not be able to continue in Secretariat. Blaine will need some help as this job is too big for one coordinator and the July men’s weekend fast approaches.

We are also in urgent need of a couple of people to take over the responsibility of Kitchen Coordinator and Assistant Kitchen Coordinator. Melanie and Sharleen have done quite a nice job, but it is time for them to train the next team of wonderful cooks, chefs, and barbecue specialists.

We will also be looking for several positions to be filled at the end of this year.
If you are being led to consider helping in this capacity please let me, or someone on Secretariat, know.

Prayers please…for my kids’ friend who was in a motorcycle accident over the weekend. He is in critical condition with multiple internal injuries and on life support.

Prayer warriors. A FB friend has asked me to pray for her grandson. He was born with a heart defect. He has been hospitalized; the doctors can’t get his blood and health regulated, and his hemoglobin is very low. Drs have scheduled balloon catheter on Friday but they are not sure his heart is strong enough for the surgery. Please pray for him and his mom; strength for both of them, for his little body, and for the doctors. Thank you.

There is nothing like waking up on Monday morning thinking that you are going to see all your wonderful new sisters and realize that you are back home in the world you left behind for three days. A little disappointing but a wonderful feeling knowing that you did not come back as the same person you were when you left.

Please pray for my brother-in-law. He has just been told that he has Stage 4 lung cancer and there is nothing they can do. This will be a tough journey.

Prayers, please, for the residents of Oklahoma and all of those affected by the tornadoes which have set down. I have attempted to reach my brother and his extended family, but no answer as yet. Lifting all of those still awaiting word. Thank you…

prayer request for a friend as he travels home today. may God give you a safe and peaceful journey!

My cousins good friend was diagnosed with cervical cancer in March. This week she starts daily treatments that will continue for the next 6 weeks. Please keep her and her family in your prayers

Please keep in prayer a friend of mine. She is 28 years old with a 3 year old daughter and has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She has 6 fast growing tumors and will be having a double mastectomy very soon. She lost her Mom 4 years ago, unexpectantly, and took over caring for her 11 year old sister. She had to grow up really fast. She has had a lot of things to overcome and has done a great job with the responsibilities that she had to take on.

Prayers for a friend who will be having bypass surgery Wednesday. She is my son’s s.o.’s grandmother.

My son, has asked me to post a prayer request for the men at his work. It is pretty physically stressing and apparently 2 men have had heart attacks the past week and several more are complaining including him of pains in chest area. Please pray for these men, its not a glamorous job picking up trash but one we all need and are thankful for. thank you

About 3 weeks ago I asked for prayers for a young girl as they were looking to do gallbladder surgery on May 20. Just got word that she had the surgery this a.m. and everything went very well. She is expected to go home on Tuesday. Thank you all prayer warriors. God is so good.

Continue prayers for a friend as she recovers from a serious heart attack over the next few weeks. The heart mm needs to strengthen for her to have more blood vessels opened in the near future. Prayers for her husband on the home front too. We love them so much.

Please lift up prayers for my sister who was physically assaulted assaulted last night at a neighbor’s house house as she was trying to cut her friend`s hair. The women `s son attacked her and required police and paramedics to be called. She is recovering in hospital.

Prayer warriors, a friend is back in ICU at Hospital and in need of prayer. She has a very low sugar count and a very, very bad infection and appears to be losing ground as doctors are having a difficult time controlling her sugar. Prayers that the Lord intervene and guide the doctors to find the problem. Wanted to send an update before I leave for home. They have stopped both antibiotics because one of them caused her blood sugar to plummet and the other causes renal failure. They have discussed the possibility of losing her arm in order to save her life. Today she goes to the O.R. to debreed one last time. Her back wound has separated because the tissue is breaking down due to poor nutrition. She vomits when anything goes to her stomach. They have a feeding tube inserted, but cannot use because her bowels have “gone to sleep” and they need to be working before sending food that way. So…she remains on i.v. nutrition and glucose and will have the surgery when they can fit her in. It is imperative that she get better nutrition if she wants to survive. The biggest fear right now is if this bacteria gets into the wound on her back. There is not effective antibiotic at this point and the doctor is doing the debreedment and attaching wound vacs for lack of any other options. I have a feeling if this stay as is, there will be surgery to amputate next week. I guess we need to pray that the infection does not spread to the blood. Received a call from the surgeon at 1:30 a.m. What he thought would be an hour surgery turned into 4 hours. He has removed metal from elbow joint in the hopes of ridding her of the infection. Does not appear to have moved to the wound on her back, so keep praying about that. If this does the job, she will have use of hand in a limited way, but no elbow joint. If infection persists, then she will lose arm. Will let you know if any change. She is still not home free by any stretch, prayer is needed.

Need urgent prayers please!!! The young woman I asked for prayers for last week, needs help now. She is the one that was on the motorcycle and hit by a driver that was texting while driving, she is 20 and has a one year old son. She is in surgery as I write this having part of her lung removed. Her heart stopped earlier caused by a blood clot. They got her heart going but had to rush her to surgery. We are unsure of more details at this time. Will keep everyone posted as we hear more.

My brother appears in court today and may be doing jail time. He is at the bottom of the pit with crack. It is very difficult to go through as we love him so much. Please pray for our family. I posted this info here hoping it will stay within the community.

Please pray for a coworker. Her parents live in Florida and mom has had several strokes over the past 10 years. She was hospitalized Monday night for difficulty swallowing. All I got this am is that mom took a turn for the worse after I left work yesterday afternoon and she is heading to Florida this am. She is an only child and a single woman so she only has her parents. I know she is close with them and not taking this well. Let’s get to work prayer warriors!

I have no right to ask, but would you please ask your Lord to be beside me as I travel the dark journey of depression. I have not been this bad in 20 years…need to find the ability to find boot straps and pull them up. I know there are others that are suffering through worse times than me and suffering through far worse diseases, but I would gladly give my life to those that are fighting the battle so they can enjoy their lives..thank you.

I have a prayer request please pray for my son. He is having some issues. His car broke down and we tried to fix it but couldn’t. It’s going to have to go to scrap yard I’m afraid. He just doesn’t have the money to get another one as he’s been struggling financially. His spirits are down and he’s just ready to give up. He needs a car and since I’m not working, I can’t help him either, but God can. Thanks.
