Wow I dont think I can express how much the Homeless and the Homeless Ministry needs your prayers at this time. I have been to the new center twice and I know I still dont understand all the complexities that are at work at this time. All I can say is please pray.

Here are the rest of the prayer requests that we have written down in our intimate prayer circle this past Friday. Thank you in advance for your time of prayer over these people and the new center.

David - his back has been bothering him, pray for strengthening so he can continue joining us at the Bridge in serving.

Mark & Randy - wisdom for these two in the possiblity of new investors. (Two volunteers that own their own company).

Armando - unfortunately Armando was napping under a tree and was rudely awakened by some homeless beating him for his belongings. He was left with a broken arm, stiches, broken tooth and more and to top it all off ended up for a week in the hospital. Armando suffers from depression and meds were stolen in this ruthless act. Please pray for protection for Armando in this time and also for those that decided to do this to Armando, as hard as it may be, these people need our prayers.

Jody - also suffers from depression and he has not spoken to anyone in his family since 1981 and has been longing to do so for quite a long time. Please pray that the Lord would give him a peace and patience for the day they are able to speak again. Jody would also like us to pray for his friend John McCartney who past away of a heart attack last week.

Sharie - praise that her bone marrow transplant went well!

Billy - he is looking for a job and has two leads this week, pray those go well for him. He also needs prayer for the negativity that is affecting him from living on the street and prayer for strength and patience; he just feels so alone. (Which Im sure is a struggle for many homeless - feelings of loneliness and hopelessness). He also needs prayer in his relationship with God, strength that he may turn to Him rather then relying on his own strength.

Joe S. & Julie L - pray that they will come to know the Lord.

Leslie - She has been feeling down this week, pray that the Lord will lift her spirits.

Fellowship Dallas Counseling Program and Family - the counseling program director committed suicide last week. Pray for his family, that the Lord would give them peace and strength in dealing with this tragedy.

Ted - as he is finishing up his application for DTS this week. (He is applying for Fall of 08).

Lloyd & Lathesha - she gave him HIV and he is unsure whether or not he should stay with her.

Catherine - she is dealing with acid reflux, that she may discover a way to cope.

Also pray for the guy that got beat up right next to our prayer circle just outside the Bridge.

I would also like to add that those working at the Bridge need prayer as well. So please pray for the security guards, those cooking the food, managing the building, those helping clean the facility. All these people need our prayers! Thanks everyone and I look forward to seeing you all on Friday!
