REPORTS: Our staff at the three clinics ministered to a total of 34 clients this week. ------- "Betty" came to CompassCare looking to confirm the viability and gestational age of her pregnancy. She told her nurse she plans to get an abortion because she cannot face a future raising three children alone. The two fathers of her other two children abandoned her. She worries this third man will respond in kind to the responsibility of fatherhood and she will be left to raise three children from three different men without support from any of them. After the ultrasound exam and options discussion, Betty's nurse shared the gospel with her. Betty said she no longer believes in God. Although she says she "got saved and baptized" in high school, she has since rejected her faith. She told her nurse she and her children have experienced racism at church and she is not interested in pursuing Christianity for that reason. Pray Betty encounters Christ and understands His immeasurable love for her and her children. Pray Betty returns for her next appointment and chooses to carry to term. -------- "Opal" suspected she could be pregnant for several months. She told her nurse she’d been in denial about the possibility of pregnancy but lately had noticed her abdomen was swelling and she thought she “felt something” inside. “If I’m pregnant, I need to get an abortion,” she stated. About two weeks ago, she found out the father of the baby is married to another woman. She’d been in relationship for some time with him without this knowledge. The prospect of raising a child alone in her circumstances filled Opal with fear. The ultrasound revealed an active 25-week-old baby with a strong heartbeat. Shocked, Opal began to cry. “I didn’t know it would look like that or have a beating heart,” she said. When she asked to learn more about abortion, her nurse provided her with medical information on surgical abortion. Opal sobbed as she read the details of how the procedure is done. Opal’s nurse assured her she is in a safe place to process her thoughts and feelings and began to help her explore alternatives to abortion. Opal felt her mother would be supportive and even happy about the prospect of a grandchild. When asked about other community supports such as a church, Opal said she grew up in church but “turned away from God” some time ago. Lately, however, she’d been crying out to God in prayer. When her nurse shared the gospel with her, Opal reached for her nurse’s hands. Clasping them in her own, she said, “Yes! I want that!” She cried joyful tears of relief as she prayed to surrender her life to Christ. She said she doesn’t know yet if she will continue her pregnancy, but she agreed to return for another appointment next week. Pray Opal’s newfound joy in Christ motivates her to choose to carry to term and trust God with her future.

UPDATE on Brian: His wife informed us that Brian was put back on a ventilator Thursday night, and the hospital reports today that he is back in the ICU and in "guarded condition", so he is being "carefully monitored and evaluated".

PRAISE REPORT on Brian: Brian's condition has improved and no longer requires ICU. He's dealing with phlegm and still receiving nutrients intravenously. An MRI is expected. Breathing is good. Pray for finding the cause so that he may receive the treatment he needs and that he gets this phlegm taken care of. Praise God for His mercy!

Please pray for my friend Larry, who was going to go on the men's retreat with me. His diabetes is acting up, so he had to cancel. He sees his doctor next week, and can hopefully get things back under control.

The Lord open the door and mom was transferred to Saint Ann’s rehab yesterday. She’s extremely strong-willed and continues to give us trouble by not listening to what she’s supposed to be doing and not doing. She is also extremely demanding regarding the amount of time she wants us in the room with her which is putting a lot of stress on my brother and me. Pray the Lord would soften her heart and not be so demanding. Also that she would understand she’s there to rehab so she can safely go back to her home and that there are rules in place for her safety. Thank you.

UPDATE on Linda Weckelman: She was reportedly feeling a little better Tuesday since receiving the supportive care at the hospital and she and husband Gerry are sure the prayers are also helping and are very grateful for them. ------- Please pray for for Steve Hollis, who has a deep wound (from his long hospitalization for Covid) which has not healed nor responded to antibiotics. His doctors are planning to try "cell therapy". ------ Maureen A. asks prayer for healing for her painful hand/wrist, still recovering from carpal-tunnel surgery in August, and prayer for mental stability for her son ERic and a "good fit" for employment for him. ------ UPDATE on Mike Grabowski: He recently passed a kidney stone. Pray for new medication to work as designed and to reduce the chance of renal blockages. Pray also for Mike's much needed physical therapy treatments to continue to allow movement and strengthen his body. ------- Ben Bagley (in Jordan) asks prayer for salvation for Milad (an Egyptian) and Nabil (a Jordanian), who think they are Christians but don't really understand what it is to be born again, and pray for a vehicle to meet their practical and ministry needs.

Please pray for salvation for my dear ex husband Jeff and 3 young adult children. They rejected me after I became a Christian, and I haven’t had any contact with them for 17 months. I am trying to trust God through the loneliness, really struggling.
