Please send prayers to a family member who has terminal cancer. He is 10 years old and has been fighting for 18 months. It’s not good for him right now. Please pray for a miracle. It’s in God’s hands, but please pray that he doesn’t suffer and that his family can spend as much quality time wish him as possible.

Please pray for my aunt as she is currently in kidney failure. She has maybe 1 day to live. She’s so scared she won’t get to Heaven, she’s asking for people to pray for her and that she gets to heaven. Please pray that her transition to her next journey is beautiful and that she is greeted into heaven to meet the Lord other members of her family that have passed.

[We read] In the King James Bible, Ezekiel 22:30: "And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none."
O God, please help us and teach us to build a wall [of prayer] around the USA, Canada, Poland and Great Britain. Are you ready to stand in the gap, where God is the Helper and Teacher?
Please pray that Great Britain, Poland, the USA/Canada would overcome for: (The Acts 26.18).
* Poland, pray for freedom from dead religion to saving faith of Jesus Christ as the Saviour and the Lord by faith only,

* my family:
1. Stir up the hearts of my family for ministry for me, my wife Dorothy, our daughter Ann, and our sons Peter and Daniel - "..but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" Joshua 24.15

Jeff Guldner and Mother (Dorothy) who are grieving the lost of Jeff's brother, Joel. Dorothy is especially grieving. Joel's death was unexpected and Joel did not have Christ in his life. He turned away many years ago and was very angry and bitter. It was a sad loss for so many reasons. He had in the last few years turned away from his family as well. And because of this Dorothy is truly struggling with it all.

Please pray for my son who is struggling with school, he is in Junior High and something has him upset to the point of complaining about stomach aches and making himself physically sick to avoid going to school. As his mom, I don't know how to help, he won't talk to me and tell me anything that is bothering me which is leaving me to be a detective and try to determine what is going on in an attempt to help. Whatever it is for him, it's very real. Pray he finds peace and returns to the lovable little man I know.
