Prayer Requests for April 2008

Our list of names is getting too long to publish each and every name, so please pray for the “Big Piney Oilfield Fellowship Chapel names list”-God knows each person on the list intimately and will answer according to His will.  What more could we ask?  There are some specific requests that we do need to mention:

Mike Wells – Continued growth in the Lord, health.  Mike is a believer who is really excited about sharing his faith on the field. 

Matt:  Pending marriage, growth in Christ to be a witness of His power.  He also desires to lead his friend Mike to Jesus.  Pray that God will honor his request.

Lynn Nikkel, Don Whalen, Drew and Pam Crabtree – Please pray that God will revive their hearts in the Spirit; that they will be faithful to His vision for their lives, and that the revival fire we pray for here in Wyoming will begin in their lives also.

Please pray for the youth at MainStreet.  Get a list of the names and lift them up to the Lord as often as you can.  Pray for their steadfast commitment, that the Lord will build a hedge of protection around them and preserve them in purity of heart, mind, and body.

Please pray for the Lord’s provision for the Chapel operation and for the ‘rolling chapel.’  Also, please pray for the location of the next OCF chapel.  Pray for John Bird and Mike Chaffin as they prepare for the Oilfield Christian Fellowship Annual Breakfast, where they will be presenting the opportunity to oil companies to provide another chapel.

Please pray that what we have learned will be used as we attempt to replicate energy industry chapels in other areas.  

Please pray for Pastor Ed Bryant and his wife Autumn.  He has released himself from secular employment, to full time pastoral ministry of Fellowship Baptist Church.  Pray that the church will support their Pastor financially, emotionally, spiritually and that the Lord will bless their sacrifice.

Justin, Carl, Sadie, Ruth – Christians with problems in their marriage. Pray that the Lord would work in them to restore their marriages and protect the children.

Mack-Pray that the Bible we took him will be a blessing, and be read, bearing fruit according to the promise that God’s Word will not return to Him without having accomplished the purposes for which He sent it forth.

Sheri and Duke – Please continue to pray for the new believers, and their families.  Please pray for Spiritual protection and perseverance.

Richard and Carole Boyum – Pray that their family will be blessed as Richard spends his last few weeks here on earth preparing to go to be with Jesus in person.  He has only 5% of his lung capacity left and knows that his heart is failing from the stress.  He says that one day he will fall asleep here and wake up in glory.  Were it not a sin, I would be envious I do believe.  Pray for Jerry, his oldest son, who is not a believer and is having a really hard time with everything.  And of course, pray for his wife who is tending him with strength and courage.  I know that many of you can relate personally. 

Other than those things, please pray for the unity of the Spirit, in the bond of peace…for yourselves, for us, for the Body of Christ, worldwide.  Pray that we will experience moment by moment, both the “power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His suffering” for lost individuals.

We thank our Lord upon every remembrance of you…praising Him always for your faithfulness even until now.  We thank Him for the notes, cards, and emails we still receive.  We thank Him that we are your ‘forever family’ and we have the honor of representing the ‘Family’ here, in this place, in this time–in the Name of Jesus, for the Glory of God alone.
