Hello
I ask for the prayer of faith that the roots of sexual impurity and pride be uprooted from my soul.
May God fill my conscience with purity and gentleness.
Thank you
God bless you

My family and I are counting our blessings and have so many reasons to praise the Lord because today my Dad went home from the hospital!!!
Starting tomorrow, he will have home care come in and he will have daily virtual meetings with medical staff so they can keep track of his progress. He was sent home with lots of technology to make that happen.
As I talked with Mom and Dad, for the first time in the last 2 weeks, my Dad sounds like himself again. He still has a ways to go to recover completely, but he is well on his way thanks to so many prayers that have been prayed on his behalf and thanks to the wonderful doctors, nurses and technicians who took such great care of him! Dad said to make sure to thank all of you for your prayers! I thank you, too

I am asking for prayer for my aunt/best friend Sharon. She has a rare form of thyroid cancer and is told to only have 2-6 weeks. Please pray for her that she is healed and that there is a miracle. Thank you, she has strong faith and is believing that God will heal her. We need as many prayers as we can get, please.

We are so thankful for your prayers and we are praising the Lord for his answers! The latest news is Dad is eating food! He is also walking a lot in the mornings with a walker. He is still feeling tired and sore. Today when Mom went to visit she noticed his stomach was swollen. The nurses aren't sure why but he had some tests done this morning, so hopefully the doctor can find out what is going on and let Dad know on his rounds tomorrow morning. The nurses did say if it's fluid it can be easily taken care of. They also took one of his two IVs out and another one of several tubes he has been hooked up to. He is hoping that will make it easier to sleep tonight.
Mom had her first Covid vaccine today! And she has had no side effects. PTL

Prayer request update from Lyndell Campbell (NAB Missions):
Hello Everyone!
Not much to report tonight. Dad is still in ICU which we are thankful for. He is still very weak and is having trouble using his hands, so he wouldn't be able to press the call button for help if he needed it in a regular room. Today they removed a couple of tubes - one was going through his nose and was very uncomfortable for him so I am sure it is a relief to have that one gone! Mom stayed home today to get some rest. Tomorrow she and my sister will go see Dad again. Hopefully, they will be able to video call me so I can see him, too!
As I spoke to my Mom today we marvelled at how blessed we are to have so many praying for Dad and us as a family! Thank you very much!
Blessings,
Lyndell

Prayer request from Susan Shallcross:
A few months back I suffered a small stroke that was undiagnosed until recently. I've been experiencing failing memory, troubles sleeping and feeling exhausted . . . I feel scared.
I have an upcoming appointment where I hope to receive a prescription for a new medication that may help with healing of the brain. This is hopeful news but I cant swallow small pills - they get stuck in my throat.
Please pray that I experience God's strength, wisdom, joy and perseverance daily.

Prayer request from Lyndell Campbell-Requia (NAB Missions):
Earlier this week they had my Dad walking for the first time since surgery. This is an important step in his recovery. Later in the day he was moved out of the ICU to a room on the general surgery ward!
Yesterday he was feeling very weak (weaker than the day before) and hadn't slept well his first night in this new ward. We are thankful that he has more strength in his hands and is able to use his cell phone now. That way, when he is feeling better he can call us.
Dad hasn't been allowed to eat any food since the surgery. Before he is allowed

Prayer request received from Lyndell Campbell-Requia on Tuesday.
Yesterday, my Dad, Curtis Campbell, was taken by ambulance to the University of Alberta Hospital. Today he had surgery for a blockage in his bile duct. Tonight we were told they ended up removing 25% of his liver and his gallbladder. He is currently in ICU because of concerns over his blood pressure and he needed oxygen. Tomorrow we will learn more details.
I would be so grateful if you could pray that my Dad would make a full recovery. Also, please pray for my Mom.

Prayer from Angela,
Gracious God, we love you, thank you your faithfulness, love and mercy. We ask that your people would humble themselves and repent of their sins and that you would forgive our sins and heal our land. We pray that the spirit of darkness be lifted from our nation and the scales would be lifted from peoples eyes that they may see the truth and be set free. We pray for a return of your people to the fear of the Lord. Amen.

From Courtney Joy Friesen:
Hey church family, can I ask you to pray for my grandma Pat? She has Alzheimer’s and in the past week and a half has refused to eat. My parents are going in to try and encourage her to drink the purée... but she’s non communicative, unkind & has even become aggressive. This is new for her, as in past years despite her forgetting she has always held onto the joy of the Lord. Pray she would eat and that even in the fog she’s in that she’d sense Jesus near to her. My beloved grandma knew her Lord intimately, and we as a family are praying she would cling to him in these hard days.

From Ron and Marilyn Krahn, who used to attend WRBC, in regards to their granddaughter Savannah:
Yesterday, we received the phone call from Jeremy that we never wanted to get. We are shaken, but not crushed. The following was submitted to our church prayer chain.
Jeremy and Lana Krahn: (12/23)—Dr. Waltz called this morning and told us that the team in Ann Arbor will be reaching out to us to schedule open heart surgery on Savannah sometime in the next couple of months. The time has come to fix her supravalvular aortic stenosis to prevent any damage to her heart. Up until this point her heart has been tolerating the extra work quite well; no thickening, no enlargement. The intervention will be done to fix the aorta to keep stress off an otherwise healthy heart. We solicit your prayers for a smooth trip out to Michigan in the midst of COVID closures. Recovery time of at least a week is expected. Thanks, The Krahn Family.
