Hi again Friends,

Here are some important announcements and prayer requests.

HEIDI BAKER SPEAKS NEAR TAMPA BAY THIS FRIDAY NIGHT

I failed to mention yesterday that we are beginning our IAM Convening tonight here in Dover, Florida, a little east of Tampa Bay.  On Friday, Heidi Baker will be speaking in Brandon, Florida at 7:30 PM at Bay Life Church at 1017 Kingsway Rd in Brandon.  Anyone near Tampa Bay or even Orlando would be blessed if they showed up.  

BRENDA ASKED PRAYER FOR OUR DAUGHTER BARBIE AND GRANDSON, JOSHUA

Joshua is somewhat autistic and can have problems with his behavior that hurts others.  That devastates Barbie at times.  They are also taking care of and possibly hoping to adopt a three year old girl.  They have four boys and wanted a girl.  The girl is sweet, but not a saint.  Some of the boys have a problem adjusting to her in the house, including Joshua.  Please pray that they hear from God on this issue, and that God does a miracle for Joshua and so many other autistic children, a lot of them much worse than Joshua.

SPECIAL EVENTS ON THE CALENDAR INCLUDING CONFERENCES
