Requests:

  • “Rocky Knupp (student) is really sick. RSV and atypical pneumonia. He’s been admitted to the hospital.” [via Scott Gossett]
  • Jan Kosovac asks for prayer for her niece’s mom, Amy, who was recently been diagnosed with a brain tumor. Her surgery is scheduled for early November. Please ask our Friend and Counselor to minister to the family while they prepare for her surgery. (I had gotten the name wrong in a previous prayer request. We prayed for Jan’s niece, whose correct name is Riley, who also had brain tumor surgery and is now doing well. Thank the Lord that He knows who knows who needs the prayers!)
  • Julie Martin says that she is still sick and is having additional tests performed. Becky has gone back to work. Please ask for healing and wisdom.
  • There are others who are sick, who are dealing with family matters, and many other unspoken requests. When someone comes to mind, please call out that person’s name to the throne of grace and wisdom.
