Benefiel, Carl

12-Dec-25

Carl is in urgent need of your prayers for God's intervention. He is still unable to stand, has difficulty speaking, and has total paralysis of his right arm. Now he is also in excruciating pain from the hip that was replaced in 2022. Carl and Shirley would very much appreciate your prayers for God's immediate intervention and relief for Carl.

My precious momma passed away this morning (12/14/2025). I want to thank the ones who kept in contact with me and who prayed. Love gives strength and glory to our Heavenly Father.

Clinton, Deborah

23-Dec-25

Debbie has informed us that once again God has answered your prayers. The podiatrist informed her that there is no danger of amputation at this time. Thank you all for your prayers on Debbie's behalf.

23-Dec-25

Debbie continues to thank God for the miraculous relief He has given to her. But now she is facing a new problem that is one of the dangers from diabetes. She has three toes that seem to be severely infected to the point she fears they may need to be amputated. Debbie is seeing the podiatrist this afternoon and would very much appreciate your urgent prayers for God's intervention and healing as only He can give.

God has mercifully and powerfully healed the horrific eczema issue. After much research I found that I had severe allergic reactions to all of the antibiotics and blood pressure meds that the medical providers administered. God led me to the cause, as I asked Him to do. Beginning last Sabbath, the night itching stopped, and finally, after weeks of illness with no sleep, I started to feel normal and as of today, my skin is clear!! This blessing and healing from God is beyond astounding...because the suffering was the worst experience I've had so far. Thank you to each and every brother & sister who labored in prayer for me!!

Fenwick, Shelly

19-Dec-25

Shelly's throat stopped hurting within a day or two of the last prayer request, but then it became sore again for a short time. Her ear was still clogged until Tuesday and still producing a ringing. She stopped using the medicated ear drops, after which her ear and hearing became unclogged. She went to an ENT today, who cleaned and vacuumed Shelly's ears said everything looked good. Shelly's throat is still slightly red, but almost all the pain in her ear is gone. She is very grateful for your prayers.

Hensell, Alfred

15-Dec-25

Alfred reports that, if he is understanding the test results correctly, there is a very low risk of cancer. Thank you for your prayers!

King, Arthur and Pauline

23-Dec-25

Arthur reports that he has been blessed with small projects that keep the family going. However, the cellulitis in his legs has become aggressive and will need to be addressed by a visit to the doctor—a costly endeavor where they live. He is grateful for what God has provided and continues to provide, and would appreciate prayers for God's grace and encouragement. Thank you.

McClure, Judy

25-Dec-25

Ryan McClure is requesting prayers on behalf of his mother, Judy, who fell off of a step stool last evening, hurting her hip and bruising her ankle. The family is not sure what the extent of the injury is at this point, other than major swelling and pain. Prayers for healing and comfort are greatly appreciated.

Morse, Emma

14-Dec-25

For several days, Emma has been experiencing excruciating pain in her neck, left shoulder, and up to the side of her head. She has been unable to get any relief. She would appreciate your prayers for God's merciful intervention in relieving the pain, as well as guidance to know what she can do for her part. Thank you in advance.

Onisick, Sharon

Bill writes,

Thank you for your prayers. After a very long day and multiple tests, appendicitis was ruled out. They found fluid and a very small mass which could likely be the remains of a ruptured ovarian cyst, which would explain the severe pain and pressure. Sharon has been released from the hospital and is feeling much better. She will see a local physician at home to monitor the situation. Again, thank you for your prayers and support!

We reached shore in San Juan and are in an ambulance, heading to the hospital. Sharon is stable and comfortable. We’re hopeful it can be an easy microscopic removal (assuming it is the appendix). We should know more in a few hours. We appreciate your continued prayers for God’s will, strength and healing!

Bill writes,

Thank you all for your prayers! Sharon is stable and under the care of the ship's doctor. The pain is now bearable but he must limit the dosage so the pain will likely return. They will have an ambulance waiting tomorrow morning as we dock in San Juan, Puerto Rico. (It is a blessing that we will be arriving in a US territory tomorrow as that makes good healthcare more accessible). Please continue to pray for God’s will and for His comfort, strength and faith to persevere this trial.

21-Dec-25

Please pray for Sharon, who started experiencing abdominal pain yesterday and which got progressively worse through the evening. Bill and Sharon are on a Caribbean cruise and not close to any shore. Sharon is in the ship’s medical center, and the doctor believes this is appendicitis but requires scanning equipment to confirm it. Sharon is under pain medication while they wait to arrive at San Juan, Puerto Rico, in 24 hours (Monday morning). Bill writes, "Please pray for healing, pain relief and logistical assistance to get the care needed as soon as possible - all according to God’s will!"

Thank you so much for the prayer, cards, gifts, flowers and visits. I am slowly improving, but it is still a long way to normal.

Mom came through the surgery very well, and the surgeon is pleased with the outcome. She will remain in the hospital until Monday and then be transported back to the assisted living facility. They will continue with physical therapy from that point to help with her recovery. Thank you everyone for your prayers.
