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

DSC Supported Missionaries Prayer Requests

Need SPECIAL PRAYER for missionary Adam Hussey as he has been diagnosed with Dengue Fever.  His wife Alei is daughter of Benji & Cory Andres who are family members here at DSC.  We have a great love and appreciation for Adam, Alei and their sweet daughter Eliana who give all they have to be missionaries in the Philippines with Action International.

OUR PASTORS in GUINEA BISSAU need SPECIAL PRAYER COVERING!  Guinea Bissau borders Guinea, Liberia & Sierra Leone where the EBOLA VIRUS outbreak is critical.  Over 1500 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.  Our ties to each of them 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 is crumbling, people fleeing as they have no supplies, no electricity, no medical care. We need to continue to lift our brothers and sisters in Christ who are in the Ukraine under attack. Our missionaries Jim & Annie Leonovich are in daily contact with the supported churches and Pastors.  It seems to be getting worse each day but GOD IS IN CONTROL.

Evangeline Byrnes-St. Clair is still in the Philippines continuing her aide to the church and city that needs rebuilding after the devastating typhoon.They need clothing for children and men, ceiling fans, chairs and donations.  Evangeline works tirelessly, always giving God the glory and thanking Him for the opportunity to serve Him in her country.  Pray for her strength, financial support and health.

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.
