Prayer Request from Linda Birk

Linda sent this in today: 
"I'd appreciate prayer for the deliberation process currently being carried out by access-a-bus as regards a new ruling which would prohibit service to Ivany Place (my place of residence) on the weekends.  They have ruled that starting in September there will be no service for us based on the fact that the #89 bus will not run on Sunday. The access-a-bus only runs when and where the city busses run.  I have one more reservation for Aug. 28 and no guarantee for any more weekend bus service after that. Without the access-a-bus I cannot afford to attend.  Without being able to get to church I am a virtual shut in. It is very important to me to attend church at Rock and my spiritual life is vital in my life. I believe in prayers of agreement, please pray with me for the outcome of this deliberation and that the enemy will not hinder my spiritual growth in this way."
Let's agree with Linda in prayer that she will be able to continue to attend on Sundays.

Karl Williams Journey

A few posts ago, we introduced you to Karl, a gentleman that has recently been attending Rock. he has been diagnosed with throat cancer and at the present time he is undergoing a 35 day radiation regimen. We received this from Karl this week...

Hi ...just an update. I started getting a sore throat 2 nights ago. They have given me a prescription for it. So I guess the storm begins, Count it all Joy. I'm requesting that prayers be sent out. I'm not sure what's going to happen next or if this is going to get worse. Maybe I'll get a voice like "Barry White" nice and deep. Lol. No more hard foods just moist foods and to continue to drink water. Keep me in your prayers. Thank you! God bless!:-)

August 13th - Prayer needed



Nancy Hynes and Janet Draper have a longtime friend and her family in New Hampshire that have been dear friends for over 30 years. We have been witnessing our love of Christ to them for a long time.  Today we found out that our friends brother Mike was in a bad motorcycle accident. He is in hospital in Virginia, this will mean that Marye (his mother) and Sue (his sister)will have to travel down separately from New Hampshire to be with him due to responsibilities at home.  So far the damage all seems to be in broken bones and abrasions praise the Lord. No internal injuries or head injury.  But the damage to his leg is extensive and he will require many weeks and months of healing and rehab. 

Please pray for healing and peace for Mike, that the Lord will comfort him and his wife.  Pray for travelling mercies for his mom and sister, especially his mom as she is not young and is very concerned about her son and she has some health issues as well.  Pray most especially that this family will be drawn in their time of need to the Lord Jesus.  Janet and I will be with this family in 2 weeks so we will be able to continue praying and supporting them in their home. Pray for us that we will have words of comfort and wisdom and that God will use us as witnesses of his love and care for us.   

Thank you to the church family for being prayer warriors.

~Nancy, Dave and Janet

Karl - a new family member here requesting prayer.

Recently Karl began attending services at Rock. Pastor Russ was introduced to him at the front of the church after a service. Karl shared that he had recently been diagnosed with throat cancer. 

Karl has started radiation treatments this week for the next 7 weeks (35 treatments) which will be followed by chemotherapy. He requests prayer and would love to receive encouragement by email from anyone who feel so led.  He can be emailed at mailto:karl8555@gmail.com 

He is very loyal to the Lord and his favourite hockey team. He said,
"God's a Montreal Canadiens fan!"

This is a pic of Karl in his radiation mask.

Prayer for Jane Corbin and a co-worker of Laurie's

Many of you know that Jane has been struggling with lower back and leg pain. Today she sent a note stating that the pain is originating from 2 herniated discs in her lower back. The largest one has bone growing out from the spine pressing on the sciatic nerves on both sides - thus the pain! While she awaits an appointment with a surgeon, would you join us in blessing her body in full health.

Laurie has a co-worker whose wife just found out that she has cancer in her bowel and liver as well as some other organs. As far as we know, neither of these precious ones have a personal relationship with the Lord, so we are asking you to join us in praying for them - that Father God would manifest His healing to Angie and that they would receive Christ as Saviour.

God bless.

P. Russ
