"Selena" (20 wks along, overwhelmed) returned for her second appointment and received another ultrasound that revealed a little girl. Selena admitted that she is still seriously considering abortion and found an abortionist that would do a surgical abortion. She feels conflicted and stressed about the pregnancy but said she likes the nurses at CompassCare and wants to come back again next week to talk things through some more. She remarked when leaving, "I didn't think I would really like this place but you all are so kind and willing to take the time to listen and help me think things through." Please pray for Selena this week as she continues to wrestle with her decision. Pray that she returns to CompassCare and determines to continue her pregnancy.

Our family needs urgent prayer. My son is engaged to Tonya Knapp, who was recently baptized. She has 5 children and 3 are dying from a rare disease. Alex who is 15 has been in and out of intensive care for over a week. Everyone involved is stressed and tired. The best specialists are baffled. Today he went into cardiac arrest. His heart stopped and they had to use the paddles twice. My son and Tonya are beside themselves. Right now his heart rate is well over 200 bpm. The heart is tiring and they can't get it to go down. Two days ago his stomach was bleeding internally. I don't even know what to do but pray. God's word says there is power in prayer and I am humbly asking for prayer for this young boy Alex and for our family....especially his mom Tonya and my son Patrick. They need God's strength and God's super natural peace to get through this. Thank you so much and God bless you for your prayers that we need.

I discovered last night that last January, a conversation through an on-line ministry I am involved in was held with a girl that was being held captive for sex trafficking. This girl corresponded with a volunteer and eventually surrendered her life to Christ. She was silent for about a month and then came back on-line to say that she had been praying with the other girls being held captive with her. Some had started going through the on-line bible study with her! This girl was rescued through the ministry’s outreach not long after this and eventually all 49 girls were rescued! Praise God! 22 of them are going now through the on-line bible study. However, it was recently revealed that some of these girls, who have been emotionally devastated, have made a pact to commit suicide together on January 1st. Please pray for all 49 of these girls, but most importantly for those who don’t feel life is worth living and plan to end theirs. Pray that those involved in the rescue would now be able to rescue them from this depression and worthlessness that they are feeling and show them that God loves them and has a plan for them. What a blessing this ministry is, rescuing not only those lost in sin but also those in such dangerous situations. Thank you.

"Jolynne" told her nurse that she believes abortion is her only option. She does not feel ready for another child with a young toddler at home, is not in a good living situation, and lacks family support. Jolynne showed no emotion during the appointment but said she has a relationship with God and goes to church regularly. She allowed her nurse to pray for her and her decision. Jolynne's pregnancy is too early to confirm and she was encouraged to come back next week for another appointment. Please pray that Jolynne returns for her appointment. Pray that she seeks God for direction for her situation. -------- "Janice" is in her early teens and recently found out she is pregnant. She is seriously considering getting an abortion because she can't imagine having a baby right now. Her boyfriend is also young and says he's not ready for a child. They haven't told anyone about the pregnancy yet. Janice was surprised during the ultrasound to learn that she is nine weeks pregnant. She and her boyfriend sat with their heads down, not engaging, when their nurse reviewed information on what abortion entails. They were encouraged to discuss their situation with their parents and set-up another appointment for next week. Please pray that Janice and her boyfriend will have the courage to disclose their situation to their parents. Pray that they would take time to consider the seriousness of this decision and that they would choose to protect the life of their baby.

Please pray for Mike Dobosz, who had a heart attack last night in Niagara Falls. The attending surgeon said he has some damage to his heart, and put a stent in, but we don't know what else needs to be done. Pray for wisdom for the doctor and healing, comfort and peace for him and Rose and their family, and a safe, soon return to Rochester. Also, please pray for new friends we met who have served faithfully at CompassCare for many years. Joy, Dave's wife, is suffering from a swelling in her brain that happened three weeks ago. She is in a coma and she is now on life support. She is not expected to recover. Please pray that the right decision will be made regarding if she should be taken off life support. Pray for the Lord's will and comfort and peace for Dave and his family no matter what the Lord decides.

My daughter had a baby Nov. 30th named Madilyn. Madilyn was taken 12/10 by CPS after being discharged at Highland hospital. I and my family have not felt such helplessness and being victimized by those who are to protect us. Please pray for my daughter for strength and our family. We don't know what God is planning and the hills and valleys that we have been through are overwhelming. Thank you.

Please pray for my brother Rich, who has severe depression. He is 64 years old and feels he has to work until age 68. He recently lost his job and the effects of his depression are impacting his family. Pray for his salvation and that he trust in the Lord with all his heart. He thinks he can go it alone, but as I have shared him him, "Let go and trust God! He is the only way."
