Despite some relief, new challenges have appeared, including a terminal cancer diagnosis given to a woman in our church who we fully expected would be with us for another 20 years or so. She has no pain or other symptoms that say something is wrong. However, palliative chemotherapy is giving her unpleasant side-effects. God may yet heal her and so we pray. We also pray that no matter what, she and her husband will be able to run their race with joy until the day they meet Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>We are burdened for God&#8217;s best for our church, our community, our marriage, our colleagues, and our children and their families. These are ongoing needs for which we are grateful to have your ongoing prayer support.<\/p>\n<h3>30 Days of Prayer for the Muslim World<\/h3>\n<p>Starting on May 15th, many 1000s of Christians around the globe will join forces and pray for spiritual awakening in the Muslim World.
