PRAISE & PRAYER

This page is linked to our website and our e-mail newsletter.
Prayerfully this will allow me to keep an updated prayer list for the ministry. 

A number of you pray for us quite often and this medium will allow for you to know what is current, what prayers have been answered, and since you can make comments... know how others are praying or even becoming part of the answers to these prayers.

I will update with new requests, urgent requests and the like in the dated postings. 
I will post updates in the coment/update feature. 
I will add and change the bottom ongoing Prayer, Praise listings below as needed and answered.

Please pray for Dan and Ana Jones. 
They are missionaries in Mexico. 
Dan was arrested last Tuesday. 
They have been the target of the enemy for several months now. 

It started when the lawyer they hired failed to handle a couple of adoptions legally. 
Though the Rays were unaware of this, it did not matter. 
The girls were removed for quite some time while things were resolved. 
During that time the authorities searched the house and found "hunting guns" that were not registered in Mexico. 
Even though these did not belong to Dan he was arrested as the house is in his name.

Please pray that this issue can be taken care of soon and that the courts will find in favor of  Dan & Ana so that they can get back to the work the Lord has them doing.

I have included  Ana's e-mail address in case you feel lead to write a letter of encouragement. Ana has been printing and taking the e-mails to Dan for encouragement. I have also included their web address so you can check out the work they are doing in Mexico.


Please keep Ericka and Sean in prayer. Ericka was taken to the hospital last night because she had cramping. it turns out that her pregnancy of 7 weeks was a Tubal pregnancy and she was experiencing internal bleeding. The doctors say she was very fortunate to have caught it at this point or they may have had to remove her Fallopian tubes. This is her second miscarriage this year. Please keep them and the family in prayer. Niether Ericka or Sean are walking with the Lord. They have both make professions of faith in the past but have not been walking for several years. Ericka is the daughter or Ken and Evie Scott (Ken is the pastor of Calvary Dunfermline).

Please Keep Scott in prayer as he fills in for Dan Starling, pastor of Calvary Edinburgh, as they are on holiday in the states for 5 weeks. Scott will also be building a fence for them while they are gone.
Scott will be teaching through the book of Colossians. Pray for him to have the message that the fellowship there needs to hear.

Scott has a job interview the week of the 18th. The interview is with Bethany Christian Trust.
http://www.bethanychristiantrust.com/      They serve the homeless in Edinburgh and Aberdeen. Scott had applied for another possition two weeks ago and received a letter stating he would not be considered for the possition... then Tuesday he received a call informing him that they would like to schedule him for an interview for another possition that they have. (it is actually a better possition) Please pray that the Lord puts the right person in this possition. 

Please also keep "The Gala" in prayer. this is a community wide event that takes place in on of the large parks here in Dunfermline. This was intended to be "for the children" but has lost that focus. We are doing at least one booth if not two (Games, cake walk type event) and an inflatable (bouncy castle type thingy). Please pray for us for the funds, volunteers, donations (materials and prizes) as we work to bless the folk in the community. 

Note: Everyone else in the community charges for their events... like eternal life in Christ... we want to offer it free to the children.
