At this point he cannot walk, but he has just begun the rehabilitation process. Please pray that he would be able to regain his ability to walk. I do not know if Jessy is a believer, so pray that he would see God’s hand in the progress he makes toward a complete recovery. God’s Blessings, Alan

I hope you are having a great summer, that God is blessing your work and that you are getting some good rest on a great vacation. This is a mid to late summer reminder: put it on your calendar. We will, Lord willing, pray together for another “school year” beginning 9/15, 7:30am, Community Covenant. Let’s commit to this and thus enjoy one another, enjoy God and lift up his church. See you on the 15th! And the third Thursday of every month. Prayer is a work to which we must commit ourselves if we are to make sense of our lives in the light of eternity.

I also pray that if he doesn’t know Jesus that he might get to feel His Love and presence through Daniel and all these precious children with special needs. He was appointed by God. God is on the throne and He alone is in control. Thank you sisters and brothers. In Jesus name we pray. Amen
