    Mary Alice Landau requests prayer on behalf of Dorothy Young. The Young family attended MBC years ago. Her daughter, Kiersten (in her 30’s) needed heart surgery last week. Pray for healing.

  • Devin Almonte requests prayer for her mother, Linda, who was recently diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. This is a type cancer that starts from the white blood cells.  Currently, no treatment is needed, but the slow-moving disease supposedly cannot be cured and requires some treatment at a later time. Please pray for total healing and the strength she needs as she manages this disease, her appointments, and for the peace of God to fill her.

Pray they may all take whatever news he tells them with grace and peace.

The Persecuted Church: Pray for Christians in Nigeria
Radical Fulani Muslims attacked Bethel Baptist High School in Nigeria’s northern state of Kaduna on July 5, 2021. The attackers rode in on motorbikes, shooting wildly into the air as they broke through the fence surrounding the school. The exact number of those kidnapped is uncertain, as some were able to escape in the attack. The Bethel Baptist Church pastor’s son was among the students who narrowly escaped. “Right now I’m speechless,” the pastor said. “The school is an educational ministry of my church. This is a very, very sad situation for us.” Please pray for the safe return of all the students who are still missing, and pray that their kidnappers will be brought to justice. Pray also that the parents whose children were kidnapped will be comforted.
