Brown's Praise and Prayer Message 7-14-12

Dear Friends,

Praise the Lord for this super Saturday of the summer season. Trust you are doing well and praising the Lord and enjoying His blessings and favor. Alice and I drove to Otsinengo Park here in Broome County. There were so many people of all ages at the park, engaged in all kinds of activities. We stopped at the weekly Farmers' Market there as well. We saw many products and produce displayed. It was great to see the new crops and fruits of the season. Tonight we are going to share in an authentic Indian meal, prepared by a young couple who recently moved to the States from India. Sunita and Andy are in Cape Cod. Jess and Tom are going to Europe for vacation. We will be having Micah, Simeon and Ada come visit us next weekend, all by themselves. We are taking them in as our "Fresh Air Kids". We praise the Lord for the summer and for the different opportunities it gives us to serve Him.

May the Lord bless all of you as you travel and in your family gatherings. May we all be provoked to worship Him and enjoy His favor. I am enclosing a list of praise reports and prayer concerns.

Praise the Lord for our friends Rob and Jenn, from Washington, DC, who have been with us for the prayer conference in the fall. They are looking forward to adopting a newborn infant girl in the near future.
Praise the Lord for His provisions and faithfulness. One of the Lord's saints has recently been the Lord's instrument in a unique way. A young family had begun a much-needed renovation project, which was only partially paid for. In the meantime, the husband lost his job. The Lord's servant anonymously stepped in to finish paying for the materials and the labor for the project.
A widow who recently built and moved into a new home (her dream house), with ample space to spare, invite a young family with 3 children to move in and live with her rent free.
Praise the Lord fo rEtta Schaeffer, who is able to drive her own car to come to church every Sunday.
Pray for Doug Purdy.
Happy wedding Anniversary of Bill and Vivian Perkins.
Craig and Sue Sabin
Praise the Lord for His faithfulness and love. Praise the Lord for His Church that is under the same management for over 2000 years. Praise the Lord for the New Addition to our church project. . . The construction is going on fast and furious, We see day by day the building is taking shape. Praise the Lord for the faithful workers. Let us continue to praise the Lord for his ministry and keep on serving Him joyfully and zealously. Keep on praying for the building project and, as the Lord leads you and enables you, keep on giving for this project.
Praise the Lord for last Sunday's worship service where our friends Dave and Jean Coles shared in Sunday School and worship service. It was great to be together with some of the family members who have moved away and were back for the worship. It was also good to see Howard Woodward, who is 94 years old and doing well.
Praise the Lord for Betty DuBois, who celebrated her 89th birthday. She is one of the sweet servants of Jesus.
Praise the Lord for Orpha Rosenbarker, who is home with a smile after her recent hospitalization and surgery.
Praise the Lord for Gordy and Donna Glover. They do not miss a Sunday for worship though it is an effort for Gordy to be there,
Praise the Lord for Bud and Carol Lee. They are both home together and waiting to move to new home shortly.
Praise the Lord for Lee and Eunice Sanford. Lee is getting stronger day by day.
Praise the Lord for the following for those who cared for the Missions Banquet last Sunday: Cooks: Alice Naik, Caleb and Sandhya Naik, Linda O'Connor, and
Joe and Mandi Walker. Hannah Smith and the team (Dave Maney, Al Smith, Mary Haskell, Joe Walker) cared for the setting of the tables and cleaning up after.
Pray for Donna Schultz, who is going in for surgery on the 19th of July.
Pray for Frances Riley, age 90, who has been transferred to the nursing home at Ideal. She was one of the pioneers among women of our area, who went west for college, and taught college also.
Pray for those who have been recently laid off from their jobs.
Plan to head on over to Joe and Mandi Walker's house at 14 Broad Avenue in Binghamton for a neighborhood picnic/party/barbeque followed by a baptismal service. Sunday July 29,2012 , 5 PM.
Jesus is Lord,
Brown
