I have just found out husband has severe heart disease and will probably need open heart, daughter chronically ill means i must leave my ministry of 10 and half years. I ask you family to pray to the Lord to help me gain strength from the Lord to finish well March 30). The Lord has gifted me with this job, staff, board and clients that i love so dearly. That positions now vacant will be filled with the right people, the board be granted wisdom and discernment and securing each decision as we always have in unity. I also pray for peace for our family as we face this next chapter seeing God every step of the way .. Our Abba who never leaves us.. guide us through these waters.. He is good and his love endures forever. thank you

March 11, 2017 at 7:37 amPraying for your Stephanie that every word you would speak going on from today would inspire people and stir the spirit of God within them. But more importantly I will pray for your family, for health and for Jesus speaking life into the sickness. In Jesus name. Your brother Andy in Christ.

I believe this is for you today:
James 1:2-4 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
For yours words in ministry:
Power in the words you speak that that power has and will increase
For healing:
There will be a slow start to healing in the family , but steps were being made today going forward and that you would need to Trust Jesus for the progression that is made.
God bless your Sunday.March 13, 2017 at 2:39 pmDear Stephanie,
God is faithful. Now remember you are stepping into a new ministry. You will be in ministry in your own home in which case you will be the hands and feet of Jesus. So in the same capacity that you served at Church, please use the same energy and excitement as you serve the Lord at home.
God is faithful and has seen all the years that you have labored for him and He still needs your service. You will receive strength and resilience that only God can provide so for now fix your eyes on Jesus and know that God is in control of all the changes / circumstances that you face. Nothing ever catches him by surprise.
Rest on this promise- God sees your labor and it is not in vain.

March 14, 2017 at 9:33 pmFor you Stephanie
You are honoured in the eyes of God and he is your strength (Isaiah 49:5). You are like a tree planted by streams of water, your leaf doesn’t wither and what you do prospers (Psalm 1:3).
For your family
God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth. (John 4:24). I pray you all can worship so that your spirits would be lifted trusting God for his blessings that have been promised.
God bless you in Jesus name.March 14, 2017 at 11:37 pmAmen

March 17, 2017 at 1:52 pmMy final prayers for you this day:
God is able to deliver you from your distress, you will have peace in the land where you are (Leviticus 26:6) and I pray that the Lord your God turn his face towards you today and give you that peace (Numbers 6:26). I pray that you would not be afraid or have fear in your situations (Judges 6:23). Remembering this verse in particular for you today bringing together the above from John 14: 27:
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid
I pray also that God would give your strength when you feel weak (Isaiah 40:29). That your strength would come from the Lord and be gained from your closeness to him (Deuteronomy 6:5).
God bless you and your family Stephanie. In Jesus name
March 17, 2017 at 4:04 pmAmen brother Andy
