Prayer Requests & Praise Reports

• I would like God to open doors for me to begin partnering with people to open a halfway house and start a business in S.W. Missouri & N.W. Arkansas so that I can minister to people with life controlling issues and be close to my children before they grow up. I believe He gave me conformation that He wanted me to do this on 3-14-14 during my quiet time. In 1 Chronicles 28:9-10 "and you Cody, my son, know the God of your father and serve Him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever. Be careful now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary, be strong and do it!" - I need everyone's prayer that God would show me the way, as I want to be faithful to His direction. 
• I pray that the small prison ministry that God has created here will flourish and touch the lives of the people He is trying to reach. Thank God for Zarria Leach Carson. God couldn't do it without her. I have asked her to post a letter we received from an inmate (my old cellie) about these journals. His letter brought me to tears and I would like to share God's work in these men's life with all of you. (Letter will be in the next post). 
• Pray for salvation for these men: Sean Orr, Larry Trevathan, Michael Brigman, Andrew Heather, Josh Pittsenbarger, all of my family, friends, and their family's and friends, our world leaders and our country! 
• Pray for God to open doors for Angela Brown to be the woman God wants her to be. 
• Pray for the men and their families across america who deal with life controlling issues, prison, and defeat. I pray that they meet someone in their life who will lead them to the Lord and teach them how to be men and leaders for their families. 
• I pray Isaiah 1:15-17 into all our lives "...wash ourselves, make ourselves clean, remove the evil of our deeds from before his eyes. We cease to do evil; learn to do good, seek justice, correct oppression, bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's case."
• Psalms 90:17 - Pray that God would "establish the work of our hands and that His favor would always be upon us."
• Melissa from Pennsylvania got her kids back...Praise God!!!
