"In every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." Philippians 4:6

Praise God from whom all blessings flow:

  • Tiffany Craig is thankful for your prayers for her private practice. She has gotten a new PT job that will work MUCH better for her, my family and my practice. After months of struggle, she is now getting plenty of referrals and things are growing nicely, just in the nick of time! In addition, Tiffany's mom is determined that she will walk again, and she is making great progress. She is still in considerable pain and discomfort, so keep praying, but progress is being made!
  • The Horrocks are seeing some progress in their efforts to finalize their adoption of Mary!
  • God is at work at City of Hope Church! He has brought many new and ethnically diverse people to us, and He is gripping us with His grace to serve one another and our community with the love of Jesus.

Please pray for the following:

  • Continue to pray for Tiffany Craig's mother, Holly Slaugh, as she makes progress in her efforts to walk again.
  • Continue to pray for the Renkens' nephew, Matt, as he continues to battle leukemia.
  • As a small but growing new church which supports two full-time pastors and leases a facility in a high-cost area, we are in a tight financial situation. To meet the year-end budget, we are in need of additional funds even above the faithful and generous giving of our congregation. Pray with us that God will raise up the additional funds to expand this amazing work in Columbia. We are excited for what's ahead and the work God is doing in and through us. But we need you to pray with us.
  • For the Rte. 1 Homeless Ministry's new Day Center. Pray for the men and women who are served by the center, the people who are serving, and for God's wisdom and providence to keep the Center going.
  • For the Horrocks as they continue to pursue adopting Mary.

Please continue praying:

  • For our pastors and elders as they lead our congregation and seek the Lord's will
  • For City of Hope's witness in the community, that we would make the mission of Jesus our priority in everything we do
  • That God's Spirit would bring conviction and transformation to the people of Columbia and beyond.
  • That God would grant wisdom and discernment to our community and government leaders
  • For strength and comfort to all those who are facing difficulties in their lives, families and marriages and that he would bring about change and renewal
  • For Cornerstone Community Church of God, that the Lord would bless their efforts and use them to touch many lives
  • For the Lee Family. hopeforemily.com
