Prayer Request


Today was a great day but as with life, we had one of those hits we all take in life from time to time. One of our sponsored girls from the Oasis was in church today - at the ending of the service we had time to talk with her and she shared a real concern and prayer request. This girl was the first at the Oasis to have a boyfriend. The poor boy had to go through an inquisition to “date” this girl and most of their dates were here at the Oasis with some 60 plus other girls looking on! Now two years later, they have spoken of marriage as they now complete their schooling. We were told in the conversation with this girl that her boyfriend had fallen and had serious head injury. He has been in hospital for two weeks and we were told that he may not survive. In prior years this girl has shared that her favorite book of the Bible is Job. For this girl and many of these girls here, life has already dealt many blows, and for this girl now, another. Would you pray and ask God to help her stand strong and that God would heal in this situation. This hurts in many ways. However, we do know that God is faithful, God is good, God is caring, and He asks that we offer our requests to Him and in the process, we honor Him. Like any daddy, He loves us and will uphold in all circumstances. This gives us a great opportunity to pray and lift up to Him who is able. Will you join us tonight as we pray for this young man.
