The sale I had hoped for fell through. While disappointing, I trust God is working out the best possible solution. Your prayers are appreciated and thank you.

Thank you to all the brethren who prayed for me. I sold the house today and I will close on September 1, well ahead of the Day of Trumpets. The buyer paid cash which made the sale go much faster. Thank you so much!

Becki writes,
The Spokane Complex Fires are still burning in Spokane, WA since Sabbath when they were ignited by high winds and dry conditions. God has blessed me tremendously in that the evacuation zones are all the way up to my street, but not my immediate neighborhood or my Dad's area! Most are still unable to return to their neighborhoods. I heard through the grapevine that several brethren were evacuated and have possibly lost their homes, but that is all the information I have. I have been safe here, thanks to our great God.

Thank you.

Price, Shirley (95)
Lancaster, PennsylvaniaPrevious Requests
28-Jul-26
Please pray for Shirley Price, 95, of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. She is in a great deal of pain from her spinal stenosis and swollen legs and feet, making it impossible for her to walk. Her doctor told her that she has anemia and is also deficient in several vitamins. Please ask for God's healing and relief from the pain. Thank you.
Update: Her doctor requested that hospice assess her condition this Thursday, since she needs additional help in her day-to-day living. She also had an appointment with her eye doctor, who determined that she has only a mild case of macular degeneration. He says he will see her in a year!
