PRAISE REPORT!  </B></div> <div> <B>Date: 11/27/2002 2:32:52 PM Eastern Standard Time </B></div> <div> <B>Dear Bro. Ralph,</B></div> <div> <B>On behalf of my entire family, I want to thank you so much for getting our urgent prayer request for our daughter Laura Beth out to so many people.  We have received over 100 replies and that represents thousands of prayers.  We have been so overwhelmed!  Thank you again!</B></div> <div> <B>I am so delighted to report that God has answered those prayers and not only spared our daughter from a auto accident that should have taken her life, but He also brought  her back from and almost catatonic state where she only had a blank stare and could not respond to us, to being at home being at home with us tonight with no lasting damage or problems.  Praise the Lord from Whom all blessings flow!</B></div> <div> <B>Also, our other daughter Rebekah moved into Mercy Ministries home on Thursday and has begun her time of healing and restoration that will last from six months to a year.  Please keep praying for her healing.</B></div> <div> <B>We want to say thank you to all those who have prayed for us and stood with us during this difficult time.  We have prayed that our Gracious Heavenly Father would return His manifold blessings upon every one of you.</B></div> <div> <B>Have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving!</B></div> <div> <B>Your grateful brother in Christ,</B></div> <div> <B>Stan Nowell</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Thanks, Be a blessing to three people today.</B></div> <div> <B>Ralph Parnell</B></div> <div> <B>Mighty Warriors Prayer Group</B></div> <div> _______________________________________________________________________________________</div> <div> <B> </B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>I would like for everyone to keep my job as well as myself in your prayers.  I have been dealing with a lot of problems with those I work with and for.  I believe there had been things said about me and instead of coming to me and asking me questions about it. They chose to judge and convict me.  I know that is a common thing we all do, I myself am guilty.  We are all guilty for judging when we know it is wrong.  But now I feel in my heart the one who has talked about me, something has happen to her.  I don't hate her for what she has done, but everyone seems to want to keep it a secret from me.  I know and understand why they want too.  But that is not the LORD'S way, and most of them that I have dealt with are Christians.  It has really been hard for me for a very long time, I have been force to deal with a lot of things from Christians that really blows me away.  I am not saying that I am perfect, but some of the things that the LORD has put before me are things that I have never dealt with from Christians.  I am not talking about 20, but just a handful of them.  From this point forward, I am not sure what to do other than turn it over to LORD and let him take total control of it.   I know in my heart HE will handle it HIS way.  To give you an idea of what I have dealt with; lies, talking behind my back, selfishness, pride, lack of trust and faith in the LORD, bitterness, judging, lack of communication, and the list goes on.  So please keep this in your prayers for the LORD to take total control over all of them and teach them that what is and has been going on is very wrong.  I know HE will convict them over this, this is not the way a Christian should walk or act.  I will say one thing, I am proud of the pastor the LORD had given to me to teach HIS word.  I don't think HE could have ever given me one better than him.  Thanks LORD for him, I wish there was more like him.  Thanks so much for your prayers!</B></FONT></div> <div> <B>Your sis in Christ,</B></div> <div> <B>Nancy    </B></div> <div> <B>________________________________________________________</B></div> <div> A friend of mine is taking care of a young child who has medical problems.  This little girl was born with medical problems and is in the final stage of three.  She just went through surgery and is still going down hill fast.  The only thing that can help this child is the LORD, HIMSELF.  No doctor can help her, she is in bad need of your prayers.  Please pray that the LORD will lay HIS hand upon this child, if not to heal but to stop the deterioration of her little body.  I wish I could explain more on her, but everything is confidential.  If it is GOD'S will, HE has the power to stop as well as heal her.  Please pray and keep the faith of your prayer.  As the scripture tells us, if we ask and believe, we shall receive.  Thanks for your prayers.</div> <div> Your sis in CHRIST!  Nancy</div> <div> _______________________________________________________________________________________</div> <div> <B>Thanks for your time.</B></div> <div> <B>Here are some prayer needs that I have and or know about.</B></div> <div> <B>A. At the end of last week a man from my church who had lived a long life went to be with his Lord/Savior Jesus. It is great to know the man Maynard was ready to see God. The funeral is tomorrow please pray for his wife, kids, and other love ones. Also pray for his death to be used to impact folks for the Lord he walked with for years.</B></div> <div> <B>B. A 5th/6th grader I email chat with told me his parents are getting a divorce because his dad cheated.</B></div> <div> <B>C. I still have an unspoken need/ministry desire.</B></div> <div> <B>Thanks so much,</B></div> <div> <B>Billy</B></div> <div> <B>______________________________________________________________________________________</B></div> <div> A friend of mine has request prayer for a friend of her husband's.  His wife died around a month or so ago, she was lost.  This woman was in her late 20's or early 30's.  He (husband) is also lost as well.  Please keep him in your prayers for the lost of his wife and that this lost will bring him to the LORD.  Thank you for your prayers!</div> <div> Your sis in CHRIST,</div> <div> Nancy</div> <div> ________________________________________________________________________________________</div> <div> <B>(Please keep those individuals (in yellow) that are going out and fighting against abortion at the clinics.  We should always keep them in our prayers year around.)</B></div> <bR> <div> Warriors at the Gates </div> <div>  As promised in my last post, I have some wonderful saints to introduce to you. Each one is gifted and loving; putting themselves in harms way to obey our Lord's will. Though none seek attention for their efforts, each is a blessing to know. I encourage you to pick one or more to pray for regularly. It is not uncommon for them to be verbally abused nor is it that unusual for them to be handcuffed or arrested. There were several court cases this week alone.  Still, they come in hopes of saving even one child.  They are the true Champions of our day and our nation. I have listed them in alphabetical order since it is otherwise impossible to decide whom should go first.  <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" >Anonymous - This tall, older gentleman with a sharp humor and twinkling eyes preferred to be known as this because he believes no name is need for prayer.  His words to us are Matthew 6:1-5 and "keep it simple". He comes regularly, carrying a sign that reads "Abortion kills children" with an American flag in the background. His wit has often had me laughing despite myself. Coco, Emily & their Father-This family travels all the way from Missouri on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month. They are all wonderful examples of God's love for the preborn. Emily often visits with my children. I think they would secretly love to go home with her. They carry signs of Malachi (a victim of abortion) and a newborn who benefitted from his mother's love. The father has been arrested, handcuffed and drug away in the presence of his children. They also witness in Kansas City. Connie - This kind lady loaned me the adoption sign and materials. When first we met, she cautioned me not to come out "alone" in an attempt to protect me. She did not need to know me to be concerned. Hers is a ministry I readily identify with. (I've always wanted to adopt.) Adoption is free. Abortion is expensive. People who will not consider anything else will sometimes consider their wallets. Donna - This lady works with Operation Save America. Her comments to us are: "We are not willing to coexist with abortion. We want to see an end not just to abortions, but an end to all abortion.  Pray for the Church to have the faith to believe that abortion will end. And remember the Crisis Pregnancy Centers. We will always need them. We need the body of Christ Praying, Praising, Teaching, Proclaiming and Coming Against the Gates of Hell to see an end to abortion.  She added that the Lord had revealed to her that this was like the deceit of Jacob. God wanted Jacob to agree with Him about who he was. Today the church needs to agree with God that their lack of effort here is sin. Then this nation will turn around. Donna - This lovely lady comes every morning before work. Her voice can be heard above the noisy streets calling to mothers entering the gates, "Let us help you. Don't do this to your baby." She is an inspiration to me, asking me to "take over" for her while she goes to work. I'm not sure anyone could fill her shoes.  Ginger - Like many, this lady travels from the clinic on Central to Tiller's. She asks that we continue to pray to see an end to this nightmare.  Jenny - Comes to speak for those who can't. She says that if the church really believed abortion was murder, Christians would come in numbers. She invited all who could to come join the work.  Karen - This young woman has been coming to the gates for 13 years singing, proclaiming and reading God's word. She is Donna's intern. I was impressed by her mature understanding for the situation and her obvious love for our Lord.  Michelle -This inspiring woman I remember from last summer's "Life Chain". Though I have not had the opportunity to speak with her personally, her testimony is evident. She speaks of having had an abortion in the past and works hard to prevent others from damaging themselves in like manner.  One cannot mistake the desire of her heart.  Richard - This wonderful man comes to us by way of Germany. He plays the trumpet and sings. I understand he has been arrested several times yet he has the most peaceful, even joyous expression. He was in court this very week. I have seen blisters on his lips, but he plays on encouraging us with every note.  Rodney - An English gentleman guitarist. He runs the Christian Business Directory here. He tells of a teenager who came to Tiller's years ago. She took the information offered by a witness and read it.  When she saw what they do to the babies, she told her mother to turn around. She married the babies father. Now this family has a 15 year old granddaughter! Just think how this would have ended if no one had been there to offer her help. Rodney also informed me that it is thought that Tiller receives money from different sources for stem cell research. We know he sells the babies organs. We need to pray that these "wells" dry up for him. He asks that we pray for Don, the Musicman, another guitarist who comes to the gates.  Ron - This man related that Saturday 5 pregnant women went into a clinic in Kansas City and 5 pregnant women came out; deciding to keep their babies despite there being relatively few witnesses present. He has driven the "truth truck" with it's large pictures of aborted preborns and urges us to realize that they communicate the reality of what is done to the children. He reminds us that it is important to reach these women even if the deed is done for healing, to reach them for Christ and to prevent repeat business.  Sherry - This lady comes out on Wednesday an Fridays at lunch. The scripture she adheres to is Matthew 6:33. She asked that we pray God's Kingdom and His Righteousness; for greater faith and more witnesses. She called to mind Isaiah 1 concerning the church and seeking justice. She calls us to seek out our "job" as believers. Terry - This wonderful man who uses two crutches to walk comes regularly since 1991 to beg mercy for the children. He has been verbally abused by Tiller as one whom should have been aborted. His forbearance opened the door to witness to him on at least one occasion. Yours truly had the pleasure of sharing "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" with Brother Terry and Brother Rodney. The favored stanza, "He's got the widda biddy babies . . ." His efforts are strong testimony against those of us who excuse ourselves due to "inconvenience".  The "Radical" -This is one who has read my letters. I was quite surprised that he not only recognized my name, but remembered my work. He said his pastor gave them to him then he made copies and passed them around. He asked for prayer over monetary needs. The only way he is able to do this is by God's provision. He comes as often as he can to testify at the gates.  Tony - This man comes regularly carrying his sign and offering help. He asked that we pray remembering it is a spiritual battle we fight.  These are only a few. Space forbids covering everyone. However, they represent the heart and soul of the effort at the gates. I have been inspired by them; educated by them and encouraged by them. In an area where I had come to feel largely unwanted and definitely unappreciated, I find in them sisters and brothers of the heart. More importantly, I see hope for the children in their obedience.  It is a relatively small thing to go to the gates for an hour a day. Yet, some of us put much more effort into sporting events, entertainment or gathering together to reassure ourselves of our own spiritual correctness. Here where death can be changed to life for a helpless child, relatively few make the effort to effect change. How great a darkness has come upon our hearts.</FONT></div> <div> In Christ, </div> <div> betty</div> <div>  ***********************************************</div> <div> On a Personal Note:</div> <div>  I wish to sincerely thank all of you for your prayers and support. Though my computer problem is not entirely remedied, the "moving" problem is. Yesterday, my husband officially turned down the Cleveland offer! One of the reasons was that I be able to continue the effort here. I am eternally grateful to our Lord for providing this opportunity to serve. Please pray that the Lord guide me as I endeavor to do as He bids.</div> <bR> <div> __________________________________________________________________________________________</div> <div> My son is rebelling against the LORD.  He claims he would rather die than to spend the rest of his life walking and worshipping the LORD.  I don't know why, he has accepted CHRIST.  Please keep him in your prayers.</div> <div> Thank you!</div> <bR> <div> _________________________________________________________________________________________</div> <bR> <div> Some of my family members have accepted Christ a few years ago, they have not gone to church and they are still doing things they should not be doing.  Please keep them in your prayers for the Lord to do his will according to this situation.  Thanks for your prayers.</div> <div> ____________________________________________________________________________________________</div> <div> We need people with faith in Jesus in every part of this world. If that be in the news media, entertainment field, public schools, government, etc. I pray and hope we will never forget why we were born and why we were born again. Our goals should not be to get fame, or power, or to even change the world to be better. But our goals should be to know Christ and make a difference for Him in the mission fields we have been given.</div> <div> _________________________________________________________________________________________</div> <div> We need to keep our government in prayer especially the President.  It is my understanding that he is under a lot of  pressure to turn his back on the nation, Israel.  That is the last thing we as Christians need to do.  We should never turn our back on them for any reason.  So please keep the President in your prayers on this  subject.  Thank you for your prayers.</div> <div> __________________________________________________________________________________________</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
