Ben Hamel

This was received from Ben this morning:
"For some time now you guys have been praying that I would meet another believer here. Well I have. His name is William Lawson. I've known him for a few months now but it just dawned on me the other day (I'm a little slow) that your prayers have been answered. Unfortunately for Lawson he had to leave his family and come join me here in Iraq. He is doing well though.
Ben"

Please continue to pray, not only for Ben, but William and his family as well.

Roy Aafedt Update

Back in December I had a brain aneurism and Gary Clark got emails going out to the praying saints. I am here to tell you that if it was not for all those prayers from all the saints all over the country I truly don't believe that I would be sitting here emailing you today. I have become a more than ever believer in pray and the power of it. We often never hear of the positive things that happen from prayer and I personally wonder sometimes whatever happened to that person.

Well, I just want to thank everyone that prayed for me because the Lord Jesus Christ was listening and I am proof of it. There is only about a 17% survival rate from the surgery I had, and I have no long-term after effects from the surgery. That is just unheard of, according to my doctor. I personally believe I am here today in the condition I am because of prayer. I want to thank you and all the saints for taking time to pray for me and my family in a time of desperate need. "May the Lord repay you for what you have done" (Ruth 2:12).

In Christ our Lord

Giving Thanks

Join us as we thank the Lord for answering prayers and giving Gunter Akridge complete remission from cancer. We are thankful to Him for His goodness and blessing toward Gunter and his wife Bethany.

Please remember Doug & Nathan Jaquish before the Lord as they travel this week. Doug has been in Armenia & Georgia, and is now in Azerbaijan. He will return home this coming Wednesday. Nathan left today (3/8/08) on a scouting excursion which will involve helping in areas in Mississippi still suffering the effects of Hurricane Katrina. He will return home Friday. Please keep both before the Lord, and pray for safe returns.

Got word from Josh around 9:30PM that they had arrived in Wichita, safe & sound. Thought you would all want to know our prayers were answered positively. Continue to remember them as they establish themselves in their new home.

In HIM,
