August 2011 Prayer Requests (Archived)

8/29/11: 24-Hour Update for prayer: We've received numerous donations from area businesses. Please continue to pray for there to be an amazing outpouring of God's Spirit and that hearts will be moved to donate to this amazing African Relief effort through Kids Against Hunger. I would love for September 11th to be so covered in prayer that God can show up and do amazing things!!! 9/16/11: Over $877 raised so far with more to come in! God has provided for 7 children to receive life-sustaining meals for the next year! What an amazing blessing to be a part of His global work!

8/25/11: Pray for Mom of 4 as she seeks wisdom and answers regarding provision and interaction with her former spouse. God's timing will be perfect. Pray for her peace in the waiting. 9/16/11: Mom of 4 has recently experienced great freedom through prayer. She feels that the shackles of past pain, wrongs and inappropriate guilt have fallen away. She continues to seek God's perfect will in His plan for proceeding in school, provision for her children and to be at peace with her ex-husband no matter the choices he makes.

8/21/11: Pray that Holy Spirit will move the hearts of His people and of those that may not even know Him yet to help end the horrible famine in the "Horn of Africa". Pray for us to follow the Holy Spirit's leading as we prepare for the 24-hour Famine Event and confidentally anticipate His glory and power. Pray for God to passionately plant a seed of compassionate service in His people. We would love to see dozens if not hundreds of people participate in some way to see God's dream come to fruition! Amen! 8/22/11: Praise- We received our first donation and it will feed one child for over 2.5 months!!! God is working out the details and others are catching the vision and the passion for raising money and awareness about this devastating famine. Continue to pray for God to do amazing things that only He can do through the power of His Holy Spirit. 8/29/11: Praise- We have received numerous donations and commitments to donate from Hebron area businesses. See the 24-Hour Famine Event Page for how you can participate. 9/16/11: Praise: God provided through many unexpected venues for these children to receive the food they need to survive. He is STILL working and STILL moving the hearts of His people! 9/26/11: Final Update/Praise: Final total raised for KAH $1000.30. Our family, along with another friend, was able to be part of almost 300 people packing food on 9/24/11. 85, 536 meals were packed!!! What an amazing God we serve!

8/16/11: Pray for Mom of 1 that God will speak to her heart clearly what direction He has for her. As she contemplates choices and decisions (schooling options for her child and what to do regarding living arrangements for herself) pray that God's voice will rise above the others that are vying for her attention. 8/23/11: Praise- Mom of 1 was able to enroll her child in a local private school and received financial aid to make it possible. She's also moving forward regarding decisions for housing. She will still have many needs over the coming weeks. Continue to pray for God to work out the details and for her to follow His clear leading through it all.

8/11/11: Urgent prayer request for Mom of 5 (4 still at home) who receives no support from her estranged husband. Today she received call that her vehicle would be repossessed. She had already made arrangements to look for employment tomorrow, but without a vehicle, this appears impossible. Yet, with God all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). She has heard from the bank that they will delay repossession until tomorrow (8/12/12) so she can attempt to get money to them. She is contacting her church to see if they can provide assistance. Please pray this situation will work out for her good and God's glory. He is Jehovah Jireh...the God Who Will See To It! Update 8/16/11: Mom has started a new job effective 8/15/11 and is still in need of affordable childcare options. Repossession of vehicle has been temporarily delayed, please continue to pray for financial provision and direction to be given by God. Update 9/16/11: Mom was recently blessed with FREE assistance to get an old unused car working again!

8/6/11: In recent weeks, God has laid on my heart two very specific dreams for Boundless Ministries. One a short-range dream the other a HUGE one, probably long-range one. But in recent posts (Some More Praise! and A Few Little Things) I've shared about how I'm learning that He delights in sharing both with us. These desires came from Him, so I know He'll provide (Psalm 37:4). Please pray for me to recognize His perfect timing and to faithful obey where He leads. Also important for my personality is to pray that I will not develop preconceived notions about how He will accomplish these desires. Pray I stay open to His leading no matter what. Just as important, I always pray that God would confirm with Dale anything that He calls me to. 9/16/11: Update- As we look forward to one of these dreams soon coming to fruition, some situations have occurred that the enemy has used to cause doubt, fear and concern. Please continue to pray for God's leading and His obvious will for this ministry. Pray for Him to increase our courage, show us HIS direction and to give us the faith to see it through as He leads.

8/3/11: Urgent prayer request for Mom of 5 who needs prayer for safety and protection from a potentially dangerous situation and is also struggling with a critical financial situation. Pray for comfort and assurance as she takes steps to protect herself and her children. Update 8/5/11- While steps have been taken to protect the family, the estranged spouse has now asked to see the children he abandoned many months ago. This is not a safe or wise thing to permit. Please pray for the process to legally prevent him from being with the children will flow quickly and smoothly.
