Prayer Request:

Hi Everybody

I have a prayer request and an update to share regarding Carl Beegle. Carl has been diagnosed with pneumonia and was put on medication for this and will have his heart catheterization in 10 days. Continue to pray for Carl’s health to improve and that his procedure is able diagnose any problems that are able to be treated. Pray also for his family in this time as they wait and pray.

Our next prayer request is for Bethany Derbidge. A couple weeks ago she shared that she was feeling led to move to Utah to minister to Mormon’s. She shared that an opportunity for her to move in the fall has presented itself which is quicker than she expected. She is going to pursue ministry in general and to the Mormons as well as finish her degree. It is her hope that this will also have an impact on her families who live in this area as well.

She is asking us to pray for her as she plans and works to coordinate everything. Pray for her to find ministry opportunities and the funding to assist her in this move.

Thank You

Pastor Kevin 



Prayer Requests:

Hi Everybody

I have a prayer request for Carl Beegle. Carl is at the ER with chest pains and they are anticipating transferring him to Altoona to possibly have the Heart Cath sooner than later. We ask that you lift Carl and Sue in your prayers as they wait for further news. Pray also that Carl’s pain would subside and the doctors are able to diagnose the issue and how best to treat it. Ultimately pray for the Lord’s healing touch.

I also received an update on Linda Smith who is sitting up and doing a little better. Her latest scan shows no change which is a good sign. Continue to pray for her healing as well. If you wish to send her cards, send them to Jim Crawford’s address and he will get them to her; 112 Sunbury Rd., Alum Bank, PA 15521.

Finally, I have an update on Carl Winger, he is having issues with his heart and is being pulled from his treatment until this is corrected. Also, Kathy is in need of some dental work but has been putting it off due to Carl’s condition but may need to have it done as soon as possible. Please pray for her healing.

Prayer Request:

Hi Everybody

Eddie and Danielle have asked that I send out a prayer request for them as they face some very important appointments today. Pray that God would open doors of opportunity for them and that the Lord will close the doors that hold them back from being all that God has planned for them.

Thank You

Pastor Kevin
