Prayer request:

Please pray for 95 year-old supporter, Lorene McKee. Mrs. McKee broke her hip in a fall.

Her granddaughter, Bonnie, has beenvolunteering (doing paperwork) in our Irvington office for the past six years. Bonnie is blind, but she doesn't let that stop her!

Also, keep Sara Bost, former Mayor of Irvington, a professed believer, in your prayers. As you may have read, she was sentenced to one-year in prison as part of a plea bargain. See the stories below:

Relative to tonites execution of Paul Hill:

"The problem is not the abortionist around the corner. The problem is the hearts of the people. The hearts of the people can be changed by prayer and perhaps by personally costly symbolic resistance. But the hearts of the people cannot be changed by gunning down the abortionist around the corner. That will set the hearts of the people in their wicked ways. Nothing will change for the better; it will only get worse. More babies will die. Then the judgment of God really will come."

Dear Friends:
At 10:19pm August 31, 2003 my mother Grace Lee Tobias was called home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She was 73 years old. She just celebrated 21 years of marriage with her husband John Tobias. I will notify you of the arrangements. Thank you all for your prayers and words of encouragement. Please continue to pray for us during this time and afterwards. I appreciate all of you.

UPDATE:
HI AGAIN,

ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I SENT YOU A PRAYER REQUEST ASKING YOU TO PRAY FOR MY
BOSS' WIFE, MAUREEN ANGLIM. I AM DELIGHTED TO TELL YOU THAT HER LYMPH GLANDS
HAVE BEEN TESTED AND THE CANCER HAS NOT SPREAD. THE DOCTORS ARE CONFIDENT
THAT IT WAS DETECTED EARLY AND SHE WILL MAKE A FULL RECOVERY! THE ANGLIMS
KNOW THAT THE PRAYERS WORKED AND ARE VERY APPRECIATIVE. COULD YOU PLEASE
CONTINUE TO PRAY THAT SHE DOESN'T SUFFER TOO MUCH AS SHE GOES THROUGH THE
CHEMO AND RADIATION THERAPY, AND THAT OUT LORD HEALS HER COMPLETELY?

THANK YOU SO MUCH, AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

CATHY

Please keep these requests in your prayers:

WOULD YOU PLEASE PRAY FOR MY BOSS' WIFE, MAUREEN ANGLIM? SHE WAS JUST
DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER AND WILL BE TESTED TO DETERMINE IF IT HAS
SPREAD TO HER LYMPH NODES. THE DOCTORS FEEL THAT THEY CAUGHT IT EARLY AND
SHE WILL BE OKAY AFTER SURGERY, CHEMO AND RADIATION. PLEASE PRAY FOR A
COMPLETE HEALING FOR HER AS WELL AS THE LORD'S COMFORT AS SHE GOES THROUGH
THIS ORDEAL.

THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS.
