It is the privilege of Covenant Church to connect with others through prayer … and so we invite you to submit requests below or simply join us in the journey of praying with and for one another. We are blessed by many who join us in prayer from many places around the world as well as many from our own communities. Let’s pray together in the hope of the rare delight that is always revealed in our time with God!

 
 
 
 
 
4/18 READING: Please pray for my husband,  Andrew. His biopsy results came back as stage 1 malignant melanoma.  He is scheduled for a further biopsy of the lymph nodes on April 30 & full removal of the tumor. If it hasn’t metastasized then full removal with yearly check ups will be all he needs.  Please pray, he is quite anxious. Shelley
 
4/17 STEWART: Please keep my 94 year old mom in your prayers. The past few months have had several health issues( fractured ribs and lower vertebrae) which resulted in her being in rehab for a few weeks.

She has been in a personal care home since Friday and while her health has improved, we are learning to adjust to a new norm. Cathy

4/11 SIMON: LATCOM mission update and prayer request. The REDES outreach by the nationals (indigenous locals) has been very successful in reaching and discipling new Christians in the Lomerio region. So much so that it’s recognized by the Bolivians Chritian community as one of best models of successful church plantings. They’re hoping to dedicate another new church this year. All said, this is taking place while the Bolivian country is on the verge of economic collapse. There is 30% inflation, gas fuel lines are 2 hrs. long and rationing has begun. Getting funds into the country and fuel to the national missionaries in the rural fields is difficult. Please pray for peace and stability for this country.   Thanks, Dick
 
4/10 LITTLE: Update on my sister, Doris. The new cochlear implant was successfully installed and is healing nicely … stitches were removed on Mon. April 20th  is the activation date.  That’s when we all find out if it will work for her. Thank you all for your prayers! Donna o/
 
4/10 WOODS: Update on Fred Elavsky: Biopsy showed it is cancer, all other tests came back good.

Thank you for standing with me in prayer. Connie

3/28 WOODS: Update on Fred Elavsky: Had his biopsy yesterday, it is cancer in his lung.  Good news is he tolerated the breathing tube therefore he can go through the surgery and doctors believe they can remove all cancer without follow-up treatments.  He has a heart related procedure to go through before they schedule surgery. I guess it is just regular procedure.  Please continue your prayers I think they are truly touching and strengthening the family. And who knows what testimony God will give them and bring them to salvation through his loving-care. Thank you all, Connie

3/20 RAINEY: The mom of a friend of mine from school is a very private person, but is in need of a great deal of prayer at the current time.  One prayer need is for the tumor she has on her pituitary gland.  It has not been of great concern, but due to its increase in size they have decided to operate and remove it on April 9.  The second, and more prevalent, prayer need is for a scan that she will undergo tomorrow.  This scan will detect if there is anything of concern with her liver and/or pancreas.  Please pray for peace over her and her husband, as well as my friend, as she is beside herself with concern and worry for her mom. Sam

On March 27th he will be tested to see if he can tolerate a breathing tube, if so they will do surgery on effective parts of his lung if he cannot they will begin treatment of radiation and chemotherapy. Please pray for God to be involved on all sides of this procedure. His wisdom, grace and guidance are welcomed. The family appreciates your prayers. Connie
 
3/13 ELLIS: Please pray for my Uncle George and his family. My cousin, Debbie, and her husband both contracted Covid.  They decided to quarantine in their bedroom to prevent their 16 year old son, Nathan, from catching it. When Nathan hadn’t seen them or heard any movement for a day and a half he became very concerned and decided to go in to check on them anyway.  Nathan found both of his parents deceased in their bed.  The autopsy revealed that both Debbie and her husband passed due to high fevers from the Covid virus. As you can imagine, this was quite overwhelming for the whole family, especially for Nathan.  I know that they would appreciate all of our prayers greatly.  Thank you Covenant family. Teri
