Urgent Prayer Requests!

Dear friends,

Please take a moment to pray for the Earnhart family. I received the following email from them this morning.

Thank you!
Katrina



Dear Prayer Partners,

We have a number of urgent prayer requests. The Devil seems to be on the attack and we are getting hit on many sides.

Sunday we had 130 in Sunday School with lots of first time visitors. Last night (Wed.) we started our Evangelistic Campaign and again we had many visitors and many salvation decisions. I have not gotten all of the results yet. We will be in services every night through Sunday with a Youth Rally on Saturday night.

On Saturday, thieves broke into our church, Grace Baptist, and stole quite a few things. They also took a lot of Ignacio's things, since he is living in the church with his family. The brake-in occurred during Saturday visitation. On Monday Assistant Pastor Roberto fell and broke his arm. Many of our faithful leaders are passing through LOTS of problems and discouragement and two Sunday School teachers said they wanted to quit!

Many of you remember Mery, our house keeper for over 7 years. She has been battling cancer since Oct of 2008 and this morning she passed away. I will be leaving with Becky and a couple of our kids for Arequipa at 12:30 pm and travel back on Friday night to be here for Saturday visitation and our youth rally.

A fellow pastor, Wilber Hallasi, lost his 3 month old daughter yesterday. She had heart problems and pneumonia.

We need your prayers. There are a NUMBER of other issues and personal items that I did not include. In Christ we are more than Conquerors and we are promised the victory! However, the prayers of a righteous man move the hand of God!

Thank you for your prayers.

Fellow laborer,

Jonathan and family
