My first prayer request is for my dear friend brother Ed to be in good health and to continue serving the Lord like he always has. He was such a good friend to me when he was in Kentucky. We talked about the Lord a lot and the free clinic where we worked. I have to say since him and Pat and father Mike and Brother Mike left Hazard my life has not been the same. They were my closest friends and were there for me always. My prayer is to keep Ed safe and continue serving the Lord like he always has. I also have a prayer for myself. I am 71 years old and live by myself on Social Security. I wrecked my car three weeks ago and spent four days in the hospital and found out I was in heart failure again. All but20% of my heart has been damaged. I pray for healing for myself and my family and I pray for my disabled son and my grandson who is autistic. I believe that Ed has a direct path to the Lord when he prays. I pray for peace and for everybody to turn back to the Lord. I pray that we all will thank the Lord for dying on the cross for our sins. God bless all . Amen.
