Featured Prayer: My name is Sheila. I am a widow who serves Jesus by taking in severely traumatized foster children. This year my finances were devastated, so I started a sewing shop in my home to supplement my income. I have to work at home because of the kids. Sometimes I consider giving up the fostering, but I can't because this is my calling and these children will end up in an institution until they are eighteen if I don't help. We are about to lose everything but in my heart I know Jesus will come and save us, so I am hanging on to His promises. My Paypal address is d.sheila51@live.com.
Featured Prayer: My name is Derrick and I'm from India. I lost my job last month. I have a wife and two young daughters. They hardly have enough food to eat, sometimes it's just bread and water. I am working on daily wages of $1 for eight hours of work. We're treated badly because we're Christians. If anyone could please help we would be very grateful! My Paypal address is derricklrwintle@gmail.com.
Featured Prayer: I am a single mom with a mentally ill son. He was put in a guarded psychiatric hospital and is not doing well. I borrowed $5,000 to hire a lawyer to help with guardianship and the commitment hearing. She took my money three weeks ago and has not been heard from since. My son is in intensive care, he's suicidal and completely delusional. They won't let me see him. I need money for another lawyer to help me. I am also under a psychiatrist's care as I cannot bear this burden. Please help! My Paypal address is trishasvintagetreasures@verizon.net.
Featured Prayer: I need financial help and prayer before I'm put out of my home with my two kids. I'm a 45-year old single mother due to divorce. I don't get any support from their father--they hardly ever hear from him. I went through two surgeries recently - one in December to have a hysterectomy and another this past June to have my gallbladder removed. My body has gone through some major pain and changes in the last year. I have gotten so far behind in my bills - especially my mortgage. My medical bills are piling up too. I have never reached out to ask for financial help in this way because I've always been able to maintain my finances, but I see now that sometimes the struggles come. I know God didn't bring me this far to leave me - I believe that if I ask in His name that it will be done. My Paypal address is srb632008@bellsouth.net.
Featured Prayer: Dear God, I ask for prayers. I have a brain injury, lymphodemia, osteoarthritis, deep depression and other health issues. I've tried to work but keep failing. I've been incapable of making my house payments and other bills. I'm scared because I don't want to be homeless. I pray for help with my bills. I also pray to find work because I need a job. I thank all of you who pray for me. My Paypal account is jenhus@gmail.com.
Featured Prayer: I am a 76-year-old English pensioner living in Kenya. I came here in 2003 with the object of helping someone less fortunate than myself. After many bad mistakes I found myself in financial difficulty. In 2004 I married a lady with a thirteen year old daughter. In November 2007 my wife died leaving me to raise our daughter, Samantha. She is now nearly eighteen and at boarding school in Uganda. My health is now beginning to fail me mostly because of the stress. I cannot abandon Samantha. To end her education now would make all my efforts in vain. I am at the end of my tether with nowhere to turn. Any help would be appreciated! My Paypal address is john_carterplus@yahoo.com.
Featured Prayer: My mother's illness, lung cancer, caused her to move to the city so she could get chemotherapy, radiation, and have her blood checked regularly. Her pension has been cut back as well as my dad's. I was harassed off the job and forced to file a bankruptcy. Since my mom moved to the city, both she and I have been having a hard time making ends meet as I also have fibromyalgia and can't return to work. Any help would be appreciated. My Paypal address is debbylyn@sasktel.net.
