PRAYER REQUESTS

CHURCH FAMILY

Praise God that Jacob Bos had a

successful surgery on his ankle on

Thursday! The doctor was able to remove

fragments of bone and repair a damaged

ligament. Pray for a smooth recovery and

patience as Jacob will be in a walking

boot for a few weeks.

Continue to pray for Madyson Heidema

and their family as they await a surgery

date to put in a new pacemaker and

remove the old one. They prayerfully ask

that an appointment becomes available

sooner than is currently projected for

these important surgeries.

As cold weather sets in, please pray for

safety on the roads as students travel

to school, parents drive to work, and

others head out on vacation trips. Pray for

our first responders, too.

Thank you for your prayers for Sheila

Heidema. Continue to pray that her

treatments will go well.

Rob & Julie Hager thank you for your

faithful and continued prayers. Pray for

strength and wisdom as they deal with

Rob’s health.

Remember to pray for all our senior

church members who are living in various

retirement homes: Ethel Dykstra, Grace

Douma, Dorothea Kimm, and Jerita

Andriesen (in Personal Care at the

Churchill Retirement Home), and Jeanette

Visser (at Mountain View Care Center).

Keep Pastor Tim and Heidi in your prayers

as they minister with us.

Pray for Kyle De Boer and his duties as

Youth Director.

Please pray for our part-time staff: Jim &

Bonnie Potts, Deb Flikkema, Jana Van

Dam, Kathy Eekhoff, Lisa Heidema, and

Robert Poelman.

Be in prayer for our Council members.

EXTENDED CHURCH FAMILY &

COMMUNITY

From Jennifer Sofie: "I wanted to share

that it is with sadness that our friend

Michael Coulson, who had the brain

cancer, went to be with Jesus on Thursday

night. Please keep his wife and four

teenage kids in your prayers.”

Please continue to pray for healing for Eric

Danhof. He is in his chemotherapy

treatment plan. They ask that we pray that

the cancer does not metastasize to other

organs, as they feel at this time it is limited

to his bladder.

Roger Herbrandson has completed his

round of treatments and will have four

weeks off. Pray for good results so that he

will be able to have surgery after that time.

He and Patti appreciate your prayers.

Please continue to uphold Clary and Joyce Flikkema in your prayers as they deal with cancer. Clary has completed his treatments and his scan came out very good; so he is now on a maintenance program. Please pray for good nutrition and rest for them both. The Flikkema families thank you for your prayers!

DO YOU HAVE AN UPDATE FOR THE PRAYER LIST?

Call the office at 282-7442, your district elder, or John and Eileen at 388-3032.

SUPPORTED MISSIONARIES &

THE GLOBAL CHURCH

Pray for Mark Eekhoff as he plans to leave

(from Seattle) on October 6 for several

months to finish up his work in Nairobi,

Kenya. Pray, too, as he hopes to continue

a ministry with the Shepherd Boys in

Lesotho. His co-workers there (in Lesotho)

are Caleb and Tobias and they plan to

stay working there. Mark hopes to return

home eventually and find a way to

support that work from here.

Be in prayer for Dorothea Kirkendall and

her work as Wycliffe Prayer Coordinator.

Pray for Lauren and Connie Runia and

their work with Bible translation for

Wycliffe.

From Gary Schipper: “This past week we

went from Honduras to El Salvador. The purpose is two-fold: First; to visit

Francisco Reyes; a dedicated missionary

from El Salvador who has been training

TLT materials in 8 centers around the

north coast of Honduras. Secondly; Rose

is with me, not only as great company :)

but also as she will be training three

groups of leaders involved in ministry to

women coming out of abusive situations. Finally; we will return with Francisco to

neighboring El Salvador. Please pray for

wisdom, energy and safety. Thanks for

partnering with us.”

Keep Rick and Becky Luth in your prayers

as they work with YWAM. They say:

“Thank you all for praying for us and

generously giving to our family. Please

know how grateful we are for your

continued support to us!”

Pray for Kurtis Schutter who works with the

Navigators in the Netherlands. Pray for his

new teammates, Scott & Briana Trout, as

they adjust to life there. And, pray for them

all as they follow up with new students this

season.

Mark and Jennifer Underhill returned to

the US this summer, had their twins, and

started their new work at MSU. Mark is

focusing his effort on evangelism with

international students and fraternity guys.

Pray for them as they seek God’s direction

in the future.

Pray for Jesse and Megan Radoslovich and

their work with Cru at Montana State, as

they reach out to the students there.

Continue to pray for Sosthene and Kara

Maletoungou.and their work in West

Africa.

the world to learn together at the Al

Amana Centre this year.

and leads Bible study with Bozeman Prison
