PRAYER REQUESTS

•  Jim Blue: “I pray that future residents of His Way will find salvation with an everlasting relationship with You, My Lord Jesus. Amen.”

•  Ronnie Drain: “Much love and congratulations to Seth Bond on his graduation from His Way!! Way to go!!!

•  Mike Long: “I have gone through a lot of changes with the loss of Dawn and the move to Athens. Pray I can continue to heal and start this new chapter in my life.”

•  Kathleen Lowery: “Many thanks for your continuing prayers for my great nephew. Monroe’s doctors are pleased that his heart and lungs are working great. He will be on dialysis for a few days to help his kidneys process the extra fluids caused by his recovery from his surgery. Little Monroe has survived open heart surgery and a hurricane in his two weeks of life. God has definitely blessed Monroe and his family through your prayers.” (Update: Monroe’s parents are requesting these specific prayers: “1) For the drains continued success in getting fluid out and rest and healing for his kidneys. 2) Looking towards the chest closure-for wisdom on when and for that to go smoothly. 3) For Monroe to be comfortable and restful so he can continue to heal.”) 

•  Selwyn Reynolds: “Got news from Russell and Regina Ralston. Her scan results today (October 4^th) were unbelievably good! From Regina: ‘Cancer isn’t gone but some of them are half the size; some of them have been at a point where they're not an issue anymore; and some of them are just stopped in their tracks no change either way.’ Thank everyone for their prayers for her and of course to continue to pray as we praise God!!”

•  Etienne Thomas: “I would like to receive prayers from everybody in regards to my spiritual growth and success in life and through the program.”

•  Please keep Louise Williams in your prayers. While she was visiting relatives in CO, she became ill and had to be hospitalized in Denver. Today she said that she is feeling better and should be discharged sometime today.

•  Mothers-In-Waiting: Karin Bell (11/3), Marjie Nance (1/2/23), and Kat Nambo (2/2023).

•  Our Shut-ins: Amelia Biser, Jamie Cole, Tim McKee, Ted Moore, Mary Etta Neiland, Fritz Nelson, and Sheril Townsley

•  Our Missionaries: Denisovs & Rahimovs (Tomsk, Russia), Kishore Etwaroo Family (Port Kaituma, Guyana), Carlos & Linda Eguizabal (Juayua & Salcoatitan, El Salvador) & YOU (Huntsville Area)

THANK YOU

 Thank you all for praying for my family in the passing of my Uncle Larry.

Greg and Kara Cornelius

On behalf of myself and my family, I want to express my gratitude for all of the cards, texts, prayers, and visits from everyone after the passing of my mother last week. Mother just turned 80 and lived a good life. I am proud to be her son and encouraged by my Central family.
