Praying for Comfort, Health, Healing, Recovery, 
Protection& Wisdom


The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
Because the Lord has anointed me
To bring GOOD news to the afflicted;
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to captives
And freedom to prisoners.
                                             Isaiah 61:1

DSC Supported Missionaries Prayer Requests
1 Corinthians 12:26 "We pray because we feel their pain."

OUR PASTORS in GUINEA BISSAU need SPECIAL PRAYER COVERING!  Guinea Bissau borders Guinea, Liberia & Sierra Leone where the EBOLA VIRUS outbreak is critical.  Over 3000 people have died.  We faithfully and humbly give monthly support to Pastor Marius, Pastor Fona, Pastor Hiskey and Pastor Tony and also to God's Word Church.  

Speaking of Pastor Tony - he is still recovering in Lisbon from his heart surgery.  He is rehabilitating at his sister's home and realizes that being alive is truly a miracle of God and wants to thank all of you for your prayers.

Our ties to each of these Pastors are precious and our support in prayer is critical.  We can not ignore our brothers & sisters in Christ who sacrifice so much for the Kingdom. PRAY FOR THEM throughout the day and when you awaken in the night. PRAY FOR PROTECTION.  



UKRAINE continues to crumble, people fleeing as they have no supplies, no electricity, no medical care. Lift up our brothers and sisters in Christ who are in the Ukraine! Our missionaries Jim & Annie Leonovich are in daily contact with the supported churches and Pastors.  




Evangeline Byrnes-St. Clair has finally returned from the Philippines! She was there for months giving aide to the church and city that needs rebuilding after the devastating typhoon.  Evangeline worked tirelessly, always giving God the glory and thanking Him for the opportunity to serve Him in her country.   Give her a hug when you see her at church, welcome her back!

I have just returned from a two week Hawaiian vacation, a much needed rest. I felt so blessed to enjoy God's workmanship each day...sunsets, trade-winds, beautiful ocean waves!  What a privilege. I'm especially aware of these blessings as I hear the news everyday of war, deadly viruses and hatred. May we all stop many times throughout the day and THANK our precious Lord for His protection, our freedom and our blessings. Pray for those under persecution, those hungry and the sick. Thank you for your love and support.

Mahalo & Aloha,
Laura

AN IMPORTANT PRAYER REQUEST FROM PASTOR MARK

I'm sending this note to you following a personal conversation I had with our missionary and brother, Jim Leonovich! He and his wife Annie are very much lamenting current events in Ukraine as Russian forces are invading. The BBC news is now describing this as war, so it is with sobriety that I write to you.

Needless to say, the Ukraine needs prayer! Already, there are many who the Leonovichs know whose lives are in danger, and sadly there are those whose lives have already been taken.

Will you join our family in praying for the Ukraine and her people? We are partnering with Jim and Annie in seeking 100 individuals from our church family who will commit to pray for the Ukraine!

1) Will you send an email to me (mcedar@desertspringsfamily.org) committing to pray for the Ukraine, the church, and every person needing Christ in this country? Pray specifically for Pastor Peter and his family, and every believer. (Peter was with us in services this past season.)

2) Will you forward a request to friends in the church who would also consider praying? Please ask them to forward an email back to me  as well - so that we can keep count. We need 100 people praying, so thank you for your help!

May God bless the Ukraine and protect her in this, her hour of need.

Gratefully,


- Pastor Mark

Continued prayers are needed for one of our missionaries Junio Souza in Nepal.  Junio has been diagnosed with Hepatitis C and having to undergo very expensive treatments.  We pray for complete healing and their financial needs to be met so they continue to share the gospel in Nepal.
