Please pray for our daughter, Katelyn. She’s 5 1/2 months pregnant and was directed to come to the emergency room by her doctor because of possible complications.

Please pray for her now that the Lord would have mercy and help ease the complications and grant peace to Katelyn and my wife, Traci. I love you guys and thank you for praying.

Update on my brother David: The tumor in my brother’s kidney was cancer. He is scheduled for surgery to remove the kidney on May 12. It is stage 1 or 2 and they believe it is contained to the kidney. David is a believer and knows God is in control. Appreciate prayers over the surgery. Thank you.

Also, please continue to pray for endurance, wisdom, safety and boldness for Pastor Nesly and his family.

For many years, I have felt the calling from God to pursue ministry. God has made the calling a reminder for the last few years as I finished preparing my children for life. With my youngest graduating this December from college, I have started my pursuit of studies for ministry. Not sure where this will lead but working full-time and trying to study will be difficult. I’m asking for prayers for strength, patience, and understanding and that I would remain vigilant in my studies.

Please pray – I found out yesterday that I need to have two surgeries on my neck due to cord compression in three areas (January 29 & February 5).

Please pray for peace, calm and low stress.

My nephew, Alex, was admitted into ICU due to years of alcohol abuse. He is only 27 years old. His liver function is critical, he has hepatitis and he is malnourished. Some “crucial numbers” that doctors are monitoring have decreased in a positive direction. This is still life-threatening. His parents are scrambling to help him to the best of their ability with limited resources. Praying for what God can only do, a miraculous intervention! Prayers are appreciated for this young father.

Please pray with me for those impacted by the fires that have consumed many homes and resources in Southern California. We have a family member who is a fire fighter – please pray for his safety.

Pray that even in the midst of such destruction, the Lord would draw people to Himself.

Please pray for my family as tomorrow (January 10) is the 1 year anniversary of my aunt passing from this earth into the presence of Jesus.

And please pray for the rest of my family as we also experience sadness and miss her.

Please pray for our hearts to be open to this change.
