December 13th – Nathan Shoultz
Please pray for Nathan – he was flown to Albany Med today (from Glens Falls Hospital) and underwent surgery to fix a hemorrhage that occurred after being on blood thinning meds for a stroke. Nathan made it through the surgery, but faces a tough road for recovery. Please pray for his complete and total restoration, as well as travel mercies and comfort for the family as they come in from all over the country to be by his side. Nathan is 31, has a wonderful wife, Beth, and 4 children under 6 (Zach is 3 weeks old). Nathan is the Ministry Services Coordinator up at Word of Life.
December 9th – Betty Tedeschi
Please hold Betty Tedeschi up in your prayers for healing. Betty is the mother of a good friend and co-worker of mine – she has an indeterminate lump in her chest and will be undergoing a bronchoscopy on Wednesday 12/14. Pray for God’s comfort and healing hand upon her – and that the doctor’s find nothing of significance in their exam.
Thanks!

November 29th – Melissa Kocsis
Please hold Melissa Kocsis up in prayers for healing. The daughter of a friend, Missy has been having an eye irritation for almost a month, so much so that she can’t see out of it and is pretty much legally blind in that eye. The doctors do not know what is going on. Please pray for her, for the doctors, and for her mom (Kim) as they go thru this valley of health issues.
Thanks

August 24 – Prayer Request
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Pastor Ralph Seigel and wife Maria Seigel just lost their son Ben in a
Motorcycle accident. Please pray for them and their daughter Rachel.
Ben Loved the Lord and is now with HIM, But the grief of this tragedy is
Especially difficult because of Ben’s young age, his potential and the fact
That they relented, although opposed to him getting this motorcycle ways on
Them at this time.
I have no other information now but it is an urgent request from me that
EVERYONE show their support for this family who have served our Lord
Faithfully yet have suffered such a loss.
They have been very faithful to NJ CMA in their time, finances and prayer. I
Pray you all will rally our Saints to battle the enemy in prayer. I will
Provide details as they are received.
Thank-You and God Bless You & Yours,
In Christ,
Sandy Meyers

July 6 from Jeremy - Praise Report
My niece is doing much better – praise God! Even though her heart had stopped on Sunday, today she is alert and awake. She will be in ICU for several days as they monitor her condition, they have been pumping literally gallons of fluid though her system in order to flush out the toxins. But she has come through it and appears, so far, to not have suffered permanent damage.
July 4 from Jeremy - Prayer Request
My niece in Canada (21 years old) suffers from type 1 diabetes. Today after getting home we learned that she had a ketoacidosis event – her system was poisoning itself and she was rushed to the hospital. She suffered a heart atttack and flatlined, but was brought back via electro cardio stimulation (the paddles). She needs urgent prayer. She is in ICU right now in Canada.
