Cornie writes,

The same evening that I requested prayer, God sent a bit of rain and turned the wind. The fire is still burning, and a couple more wildfires started since, but so far we are safe. They are fighting the fires from the air and on the ground. We thank all our brethren for the prayers, and most of all, thank God for hearing and answering the prayers and for protecting us. We would appreciate continued prayers for God to protect us and our community.

We have a wildfire 20 miles south of us. It's only 6 miles south of the southern boundary of our community. There is another wildfire about 25 miles southeast of us, close to Tall Cree Indian Reserve. It's very smoky, so that it's practically pitch dark outside. It's 6:30pm right now, and sundown will be at 10:30pm. It's quite dry and hot (+32C) and it's starting to rain lightly, for which we are grateful to God. Please pray that our great God will protect His people from harm, and that we will not need to evacuate.

Carl and Shirley would like all of the Brethren to know how much they appreciate your continued prayers on their behalf, as they both continue to experience a great deal of pain but look to God for relief. While Carl's back and leg pain is tolerable enough that he can get certain things done, Shirley's back pain has become much more debilitating. They both are grateful for all of your prayers and would ask that you continue to pray for God to mercifully give them the relief that only He can give.

Bruske, Patrick and Breanna

The Bruske kids are recovering from whooping cough and slowly getting back to their normal healthiness. Thank you for your prayers during this difficult illness.

Clinton, Jane (74)

09-Jun-25

Jane would like you to know that shortly after she was anointed for the painful injury to her ribs and chest God immediately intervened. However, today her intermittent bronchial problem flared up again and she would very much appreciate your prayers.

Schlitt, Karen

03-Jun-25

Karen is asking for your prayers for her daughter-in-law, Tyeliese Schlitt, who has confirmed breast cancer. Please also pray for her son, James Nichols, who has a mass in one lung. Thank you for your loving concern.

Sisbarro, Christine

09-Jun-25

Christine's husband Jim has been suffering for a long time with symptoms that cause him to sweat profusely. He also endures the pain caused by the many surgeries over the past ten years and is unable to sleep for longer than an hour a day. This past week, he fell into a severe depression. His doctor is helping but the depression is crippling Jim's ability to function. It may be that the stress from caring for Christine may be part of the cause. He may also be suffering from a high metal content from delivering gases to factories over a 25 year period. He has been tested, and if that is the cause, he will need chelation therapy. Christine is asking for prayers that it’s not too late to help his physical condition and that his depression will lift quickly.

Since breaking the wrist of her dominant hand in three places, she is still experiencing pain from her hand to her shoulder even though it has been six weeks. Additionally, she has been anointed for a severe reaction to the humidity. A large dehumidifier has helped, but any activity increases the problem and the cold air of the air conditioning causes other problems for her. She writes, "All of your support and prayers are greatly appreciated."

The last four to five months I have been dealing with the most challenging health problems that remain undiagnosed and unresolved to date, including the unexplained weight loss of seventeen pounds

Yesterday I visited my optometrist only to learn that the dimming vision in my right eye was a result of hemorrhage. I was immediately referred to my ophthalmologist who saw me today. The results were confirmed by her and diagnosed as CRVO after many test and examinations. Injections into the eye was recommended to address the the build up of fluid in the macular.

I am trying with God's help to remain positive but must confess I feel the need for the prayers of God's people on my behalf for strength, healing and guidance in accordance with His will. My deepest and sincere thanks to all the brethren who will prayerfully join me in this journey.
