• Dear God, I pray that you would be with Tonya as she prepares and plans to go to Tonga. Please watch over and protect her. Please make her paths straight and level.

• Please lift up in prayer my friend Robert who was diagnosed with testicular cancer just over a year ago. He has gone through 2 rounds of chemo, which have both failed. I just found out today that the cancer has spread to his brain. He has a wife and three young children. They are believers in Christ. In fact, Robert has such a heart for the Lord, that during this time, he has been praying for healing for new friends of his that have cancer. Though this is a sad time, Robert, his friends, and family are trusting God to show up in a big way. That He would fully heal Robert of this cancer. That the cancer would stop spreading. That Robert and his wife would hear from God and be able to make clear decisions on what they need to do next. It also looks like he will need to have emergency surgery to get rid of the cancer in his brain at the end of this week. Possibly Friday. Please pray that God would give these doctor's everything they need to perform this surgery well (i.e. the skills, knowledge, etc). Thank you. [Posted 2010-03-08]

Yesterday, early in the morning, they lost a son/brother in a very tragic and sudden way. I can't imagine what they can be feeling right now but I know they need You in big and many ways.
