'I love visiting your church web,and see on how you reach the hearts of men with the everlasting gospel. I met you in the bulletin. Please, I solicit for your prayers. I am Adventist who stays in Kenya. Thanks to the peace deal that was signed last Thursday after killings that happened after the announcement of the presidential winner. For sure we liberal adventists were highly affected--many of our members died while thousands of us lost properties. Pray for Adventists who are still in the Red Cross camps. I too am on the crossroad due to lack of fees. I am a second year theology student. Pray for me too. Thanks, and may God be with you.'

'Please pray for me! Also post my prayer on the site so others can do so. Thank you My spirit hve been shrieked and abused by a demon, an unclean female spirit. My imagination has been used to be seen as eating feces, looking for garbages which makes me to become uncomfortable in my body. Sexual demons have been harassing me also. I have heard loud curses in my head, unable to sleep constantly and have nightmares and seeing my self from time to time going to the airport going to other foreign countries and fallen on the floor at times. I think that my spirit has been iniated into voodoo. The evil spirit has been barricading me from having any male figure much likely a boyfriend in my life. Please pray for me to get up from where I have fallen so Jesus can delivery me from the dunm idol and all the harassing demons and other wicked human beings. Pray intensely for me. Thank you for your prayers. I would also like to be a faithful sabbath observer in order to lift my head high to serve Jesus.'

'I have been having a very hard time for 3 years, and i have been quiting on Jesus many times in the past months because of being in too much pain emotionally! I moved to Paris, France a few months ago and i have 2 main problems I really would need to get rid of because they poison my life: I have a big problem with anxiety, and fear for no reason! I think I have adrenal burnout, and I don't have energy, and I fear to go out, I am humiliated a lot for no reason when I go out, there might be an evil spirit giving me this trouble. And it makes me not to meet anyone, so I am very lonely also; and I beg your prayers to God so that I can go out and behave normal, feeling good about myself and meeting people. Also I don't go to church much and don't read the bible as before, thank you very much for your help.'

'Dear brethren, I am very happy to know that you will pray for me and my serious problem concerning the problems with my wife and my family! My problem is that my wife does not want to live with me, because she does not love me. She told me recently she has met other man who is rich more than me and she loves him very much! I and my wife are Seventh-day Adventist members for many years,but now she does things that our faith does not allow!!! I was very discouraged when all this happened and it is very difficult for me to continue suffering. I love my wife so much!She wants divorce and now I need special help from the Holy Trinity in my case!!! My wife now lives in her native country Ukraine, the city Krivoy Rog. I live in Rousse, Bulgaria! My wife probably has problems with demons because I noticed some very strange lines in her behaviour when we were together in her country! Satan wants to destroy our family and make us unhappy! Please, pray for me and for my wife!!!!! I would like to be with my wife again and forever if it is God's will for us!!! I also pray for us and for 111 persons enrolled in my list of prayer!!! Thanks in advance dear friends for your compassion! May the Lord bless you in your work for saving souls by His power!!'

'Dear Friends, Family and Prayer Partners, It has now been several weeks since I last updated you. All your prayers have been such an encouragement to me. I've received the most beautiful, encouraging, and uplifting letters. I hold on to each one. They are my lifeline!!! I know God is answering prayers. Even though, what I'd like is for this to instantly be over, I know it's going to take time. God has been using this trial to keep me always trusting in Him. There are days when I think I can't take another minute. Where my heart hurts and my body aches from loneliness for my husband. Then, He guides me to a text, I receive an e-mail from one of you faithful prayer warriors, I get a hug from my daughter and son-in-law, or a friend or relative calls to share words of love and concern. My husband says he still wants a divorce. He doesn't think it's right to have to support me while the divorce is proceeding. He wants me to get a job right away. As I've shared with you, I haven't worked in 23 years. Right now, I'm under doctor's care and have been instructed not to work right now. My husband is aware of this, but doesn't care what advice I've been given. I do want to work when I've been given the ok. I'm exploring work possibilities. Please continue to pray for God to guide me in this area of my life. I feel as though I'm between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, I know that I'm not stable enough to take on a job. On the other hand, I know this is one of the areas that my husband is wanting me to do. Please pray for my health, peace of mind and sound judgment of how to proceed in this area. Through this trial, I know God is working in his life. He's just rejecting the love of God though. So...what's he's experiencing is a heavy burden on his heart and his mind has no peace. It all comes out to me in bitterness and harsh words. Oh, please pray that his heart will change. I can say no more to him. He won't listen. He's become so hardened. I want each of you to know I still love my husband. God has given to me his healing grace. Without this I know I would be bitter and angry toward my him. I love him unconditionally because I made a vow before God that I would be his forever. I guess now I see his forever was not the same. This will forever bring tears to my heart. I know that I must go on. I have a wonderful family that loves and supports me. I have so many faithful prayer partners that write to me. I have a beautiful daughter and son-in-law that give me such hope and comfort. I truly have so much to be thankful for. I know God loves me...died for me...rose for me... and is carrying me know in the palm of His hand. This is the peace I know. '
My love to each of you,
--D.

'I want to thank each of your for continued prayer for our marriage. These past several weeks have been so difficult for me. I love my husband so deeply and miss him more with each passing day. I know Jesus is seeking his lost sheep. His heart aches with mine. Dear friends, Jesus has not let me down. He's been there for me. Yes, I still hurt and cry, but I know my Lord will never leave nor forsake me. Please pray for my husband to open up his heart to the wooing of Christ's love. Pray that his heart will be turned back home to his Saviour and that he will fall down on his knees before his Lord. As you know, E. said he was going to give God one week to change his heart. That day is now 8 days behind me and I still haven't heard what his decision is. I have spoken to him a few times, but never has he indicated what he's planning to do. I look at each day as a blessed miracle that he has not taken the wrong step. Each day I wake up with hope for restoration in our marriage. Please continue to pray that God will give me strength. Pray that the Lord will give me discernment in all areas of my life. Particularly in regards to finances and a way to make a living. As you know I haven't worked in 21 years. It's just a little frightening to me. But I know that God has a plan. I know that God has put a burden on each of you to pray for me. There are times when I feel I can hardly speak a prayer. I know that I have you special prayer partners praying for me when I'm weak. Thank you being so faithful.'
In Christ's love,
--D.

'I'm asking all my church family to pray for my husband, as well as myself. He has been falling away from God and now has told me he doesn't know if he wants to be married to me. We've been married for 21 years. My heart is bleeding. I need to support of church family during this time. Please lift him up in your prayers. Also, remember me in your prayers. I need the Lord's strength and guidance now. '

'I know that it is really hard out here(world) and I do understand each and every one of you! I understand how heavy the load is, how big the affliction is, Brothers and sisters Today I have prayed for every single one of you and your situations and I have pleaded to the LORD (my Father, Best Friend) to help us get through this. I asked him, why does this happen to us? Why do we get put through all of this affliction? I really don't know, He knows! All we can do is fight through prayer and hang in there, believe me brothers and sisters I feel you and feel the affliction you're being put through, I REALLY REALLY DO!!!! But let us pray for faith and plead to the LORD for strength so that you do not give in. The enemy wants us to think that there is no way out, that we are doomed, but we can't believe his lies. Please, but really please stay strong!!!!!!! You are not alone!!!! always remember that no matter where you go ( anywhere) you are not alone. Please stay strong. I have read every single request from top to bottom and I have had special prayers for those that are in great need and those who need guidance and answers from the LORD. I too have my need, and I ask for you to keep me in your prayers, please have me in your every day prayers because I do need them badly. LET US BE STRONG IN THE NAME OF JESUS!! I feel you all! keep the faith and let us keep fighting.'

'I have a friend who has a brain tumor. It is beginning to grow bigger. Just a couple of months ago, the doctors said that they give her two months to live. On the 31st of March will be the supposed deadline. She is getting sicker by the day and her days are coming to a fast end. I want her to be healed of her brain tumor, and if it's Lord's will for that to happen, I ask for that in prayer. Most importantly, I would like to request prayer that she receive Jesus into her heart to be her Lord and Savior before she faces judgement without him. Please pray for Joy'

I am in the most sincerest need of a miracle. I am unable to move foward in anything until my problem is settled. I will spare the reader my sentiments and plead that you would help me. I must find out whether or not G-D is going to torment sinners 'FOREVER' or if the punishment is to be (Aion.....) "age-enduring"; universal salvation or anhilation. I NEED to know, or else I cannot rest until I do nor can I move foward without great strain and sadness. I've studied all that I can on the matter, exhaustively. I believe it is aionian punishment, but this is too great a matter for me like none other that I cannot simply trust my ability to decipher the Spirit. I feel it is not forever and that, in knowing that it is not, I shall be able to strive toward the L-rd in such away that shall not be if I were to be without confirmation; if it is forever, I need closure. Please help me with this, though it may seem relatively trivial to many, to me it is paralysing and crucial to my walk. Please, pray that I recieve an unequivocal, thoroughly convincing revelation (perhaps, a dream or to hear an audible voice so that I KNOW that Answer). Most sincerest appreciation,
--S

'Dear brothers in Jesus,
I don't know what can I do. This is my last year in the university, but I feel I'm doing something wrong. It isn't a course I'd like. I'm not happy finishing the course. Maybe God has another thing for me, but what? I feel I need to do something for God, for His church. I'm the leader of the youth in our church and I help my brother with the Pathfinders Club, but I'm alone. I'd like to go to the U.S.A. to improve my English, but I don't know if it is easy. I'm a teacher of English in an Adventist school in my city. Not a great teacher, only a teacher. It's wrong, something is wrong. Pray for me! Thank you and God bless!'

06-14-1999
Dear Christian Friends, I come to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to pray for a newly born Christian man who found the Lord through the living of a life in hell. He is an abused spouse, physically and mentally abused by his extranged wife who has fallen from the Christian life into a life of affairs and immorality. In my friend's behalf, he would have wished in the past for us to pray for him to receive custody of their two children, boys, ages 2 and 1, but because of his new belief and faith in the Lord, he asks that we pray for his estranged wife to see the error of her ways, so that she may be renewed in the spirit of the Lord that she may be under conviction to repent and provide a proper home not only for these two children that I mentioned but two others that she has from a previous marriage (she has 4 children under the age of 8 with her). I ask also that you pray for my new friend, James, to have peace, love, wisdom and joy even in the face of darkness that threatens to consume him daily with fear. Thank you for your help and God bless you. Your Sister in Christ,

After praying for a long time the people who went to fight the devil arrived at Nieboom. This was expected to be a dramatical event. But lo and behold; Jesus was already there. The demons where already thrown to where they belong. In state of crying to Jesus they praised the Lord. They even went with lady and [her] family to church on Sabbath afternoon. She was very thankful for the prayers of the saints. The pastor took the lady with him home for some inspection and guidance. Praise the Lord for having this connection. Thank you for for praying for us down here in [South Africa].
--S.M.

03-09-1999
May you please pray for one of the Nieboom church members who is caught by demons. She was at first prayed for when a crusade was held at her place and she was healed. It was announced in the local radio station that she was healed by the prayers of the Adventist members. Now she is in the same problem again (this time is a perfect number 7 times) and now with the husband and their son. Our local pastor has arranged fasting and prayer for all who wish to meet this family in heaven one day. We are going to fast on Monday in the church of Seshego at Petersburg in South Africa. And on this coming Sabbath of the 12th church elders from the Northern province will be fasting and praying for her till the demons are cast away. Let us together use this opportunity to remind the devil that he is a loser.
--S.M.

Please pray for me, I need God to deliver me from my financial problem. This year I will be entering my fourth year of college at La Sierra University, majoring Theology. I am desperately in need of help. Both of my parents are ill in Indonesia. They will be in great joy to know that I can graduate this following school year, but first I need God to intervine in this matter. It seems that I'm about to running out of time, but I am glad that God's time is different than mine. Therefore, I know that everything is going to be alright. Again thank you for your prayer, and you can be sure that I am also praying for the church and its ministry.

'Six years ago I met a wonderful Seventh-day Adventist. God sent him into my life to draw me closer to Him. But I turned away and took that young man with me. God kept calling and I kept turning. I started having hard times; car accidents, death of loved ones, etc., and instead of turning to God I depended on the world to take care of me. I never did marry that wonderful man. We were blessed with a miracle baby in February of '96. So after 6 years things got so bad we broke up. I felt so alone. I had no choice but to look to God. And if I hadn't known that wonderful man I wouldn't have known what church to go to. I have peace and understanding and I known Truth. I am a completely different person. I am so happy I pray that [he] finds the Lord again. He is so lost. I want to marry [him] and be a real family that loves and worships the Lord together. He is sueing me for custody. Our situation seems impossible but you have to have an impossibility before you can have a miracle. His sister says I'm delusional, that God's laws have changed, and that I need to get used to it and move on with my life. God wants me to love [this man]. Please help me pray for this miracle'

'My husband and I split up on December 4, 1997 on my 7-year-old son's birthday. He filed for divorce the next day, and I filed the following Monday. We have been married for 12 years on December 2, 1997 and suffered alot of financial struggles throughout our marriage. Recently we got lucky and money started coming in and my husband changed. He started putting money and power above his wife and kids. He does not seem to see it that way. He feels like he has given me everything. He has given me alot of material things but without love, trust, and respect it all means nothing. I have given up almost everything but my soul to please him but it was never enough. I do not want to hurt my children or break up this family. I pleaded with him to come with me to marriage counseling but he said I am the one with the problems. I am his 6th wife! He has hurt so many people along the way. Please pray for him and for me and for our kids.'
