Praise report - I talked to my friend Ellie today and she specifically asked me to share this Praise Report and thank you to the prayer team. She was on our list for students taking finals. She got all As on her exams - they have both oral and written exams in Germany. She said it was the best she has ever done on her oral exams. She is so thankful for our prayers and asked us to keep praying for her as she continues with her next semester. She will be done on June 17.

UPDATE - 1-13-22 Answered Prayer!! PRAISE JESUS. Marilyn bought the 80-acre farm TOTALLY with/ God’s intervention. Ask her about it.
This Thursday, Nov. 18 @ 2 pm, virtual online farm auction re: the sale of 80 acres of farmland adjoining our home farm. It’s land we’ve been farming for years. The landowner is selling, but we are praying we can continue farming it. To do that, we either need to buy it at a reasonable price OR an investor who will allow us to continue farming it will buy it and charge a reasonable cash rent price for it! It’s an online auction, and my first time for such a process! I need the LORD’s help & army of angels!!!
PLEASE pray for favor, calmness, fairness, a reasonable ending price, and GOD’s will to be done!! (I’m just being real here, and I BELIEVE in the power of prayer!! & I know the Lord cares about the details of our lives!!).
Thank you, Jesus, Holy Spirit, & Almighty God!!
Thank you, prayer Warriors! Love you!!

UPDATE from 9-17-21 - Thank you Jesus that Jamie is now recovering at home! She still has a lot of healing to do, but she is on God’s perfect path towards complete healing!
Thank you Jesus for all the miraculous healing you have been doing in Jamie! After being on a ventilator for a month from Covid, her kidneys weren’t working properly and it was expected she would have to be on dialysis the rest of her life. But GOD! Her kidneys have been functionally normally - no dialysis needed, and she is otherwise progressing through therapy and getting stronger every day! Please keep praying for her as she continues on God’s path to complete healing!!

Please pray for my family and friends. Some are dealing with life-threatening health issues and others with spiritual issues. I ask for prayers for myself in my walk with Jesus. I have stumbled and am a backslider at times. I sadly have lost some people along the way. I pray that someday they will forgive me and come back into my life at some time. I ask for the strength, wisdom, and words that I will need when asked about HIM. I pray for your Church, our community, and our country. I pray for you, everyone. Sometimes life gets messed up, but with HIM nothing is impossible. Praise The LORD.
