Prayer

On Sunday, January 6th during our Sunday School hour, we were overwhelmed and blessed by the support of our faith family that encircled us and prayed over us. Prayer is a powerful tool from God and we would just like to thank everyone who is lifing us up in prayer.
Below is a Prayer calendar that we created for the next couple of weeks in January. It begins on the 3rd and below each calendar day is a prayer request. Please feel free to use this calendar as you are lifting our family up in prayer.

As family and friends and people of FAITH, we are ALL praying today and especially tomorrow for God to direct the surgeon's hands and to protect Travis throughout his surgery and recovery! May the BEST staff and support TEAM administer to Travis to restore him physically. God will do the REST! We pray for Jennifer and all the family to remain strong during this as well. Remember, God doesn't give us what we can handle; God HELPS us handle what we are given! Blessings & Prayers Abundant from Lake Martin friends!
