“Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, why are you crying? For whom are you looking?’ Supposing that He was the gardener, she
replied, ‘Sir, if you are the one who has carried Him away from here, tell me
where you have put Him, and I will take Him away.’
“Jesus said to her, ‘Mary!’ She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, ‘Rabboni!’
(which means, Teacher). Jesus said to
her, ‘Do not hold Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My
brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My
God and your God.’” John 20:15-17
“See what an incredible quality of love the Father has
shown to us, that we would be permitted to be named and called and counted the
children of God! And we are! For this reason the world does not know us,
because it did not know Him.
“Beloved, we are even here and now children of God, and
it is not yet made clear what we will be after His coming. We know that when He comes and is revealed,
we will, as His children, be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is in
all His glory. And everyone who has this
hope confidently placed in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure, holy,
undefined and guiltless.” I John 3:1-3
“The term beloved is only used for the born-again ones. The Bible does not teach the Fatherhood of
God and the brotherhood of man, UNLESS we are born again. – Once we are born
into God’s family, we begin a new relationship with God. He is no longer the Judge and we the
criminals; now He is our Father and we His children. Now we have the right to call upon Him in
prayer; now we can know His presence to help us in trouble.[1]”
Sometimes today, family seems of less value than in times
past, but most of us would have some imagined thoughts of what a perfect family
would be. How blessed we are, to not
just be saved, but also to be in a beloved family that is always there to care
and watch over us!
Take care with love, especially His, Darlene (who still
prays for you each day)

NEW PRAYER REQUESTS (any updates?)
· Christians in Afghanistan – Many Christians went to this country to
share the Good News to many who would never have heard of Jesus. These leaders and baby Christians are now in heightened
danger and need your prayers to protect them and sustain them during this
time.
· Those Left Behind in Afghanistan – Please pray for those who have
been unable to escape from Afghanistan before America abandoned the
country. They (especially the women) now
face persecution and death at the hands of barbarians. How heart wrenching.
·
Family of Eric – Eric at 52 died suddenly leaving his 47-year-old
wife and three girls (ages 16, 19 and 23).
Pray the Lord comforts the family through this time of mourning. Pray for their wisdom and that God will send
trustworthy, honourable, Bible-based councilors for the many decisions that now
must be made.
·
Jay – Please pray for him as he watches his ministry begin to be used by the
Lord in a new media, due to the lockdown.
Give him strength, wisdom and protect his health.
· UPDATE - Peyton - eldest granddaughter of Jeff
and Rachael – is entering her second year of college. Please continue to pray for her that she does
well, makes good decisions and continues having a good relationship with the
Lord.
·
Adam –
please pray for his strength and peace as he pursues a new job and that the
Lord will guide him clearly in his decisions and that his wife will be the
loving supporter he badly needs.
· Barb – my brother’s
faithful and kind wife. Thank you for
praying for her. She needs prayers to
sustain her and protect her health and energy during this time of additional
stress and challenge.
·
UPDATE - Sophie – three-year old daughter of a friend who is
chronically unwell and frail. Please
pray for her, her parents and health carers to find ways to manage the symptoms
and heal her.
·
Hans –
a dear friend in Germany, the immunotherapy for his lung cancer seems to be
working for now. Pray for his ongoing
strength through the pain, patience and God’s mercy. Pray for his healthcare providers and that he
is surrounded by faithful and compassionate Christian friends who will support
him through this journey. Pray for his
Mom (age 84) who is also unwell -- that their time together is filled with
extraordinary good memories and lots of love.
·
Callilah
- a lost child. Pray the Lord will
capture her heart.
Pray for those in full-time service
Pray to uphold our Christian leaders – that they never compromise God’s Word, are bold and courageous in the face of evil. Pray for their wisdom, safety, ingenuity, strength and for their families.
Pray for those with ongoing health concerns
Many of us have family, friends and loved ones with fragile health. Pray God takes special care with them and protects them in practical ways and that the Lord will have mercy on them during this challenging time.
Pray for the World
