Please pray for Brad and Kristen Jones (PC’05) as Brad lost his job on Friday. However, on the same day, he got an interview! Please pray that this time of being jobless is short lived and that God will give them peace. So far they are very optimistic. The company he is interviewing for is a great company, and he would have steady hours and optional overtime quite often. They REALLY appreciate the prayers!
Erica (Rice) Havekost would appreciate your prayers for her family. Her grandmother died last week, her mom was in the hospital for an unexpected surgery, and her husband was in a car accident.
Please pray that God would be their strength and peace during this time, and that God would provide another car quickly. Thanks! 
Below is a precious prayer request/praise from Jennie (Haines) Tatum, PC ’05, that i would like to share with you.
A note from Jennie:
"I delivered a beautiful little girl, Allegra Noelle Tatum, (7 lbs 1 oz on July 9th) and we have been in the NICU ever since. They had to take her via C-Section becuase she was transverse breech, but were goign to induce me at 36 weeks (to the day) anyway becuase I had preeclampsia. Aside from being REALLY jaundiced, and therefore sleepy – and therefore not eating well – I’ve had issues getting my milk to come in, she had sugar issues (which have stabilized), and she had to see an orthopedic specialist for her hips because they thought one was dislocated in her flip from head-down to breech.
Praises – her hips are fine and her sugar is stable, the jaundice is neutralized for the most part and she’s eating much better and gaining weight better than before (she got down to 6 lbs 3 oz). She’s coming home tomorrow morning!!! And I’m beyond thrilled about this.
Requests – that everything stays stable and continues to improve, that I would be able to relax and not let the stress get the best of me when I need to just trust that things will work out, that God isn’t going to let my baby starve and will help my body heal and work right so my milk will finally come in fully so we can get off the supplements, and that she will be just as perfectly healthy as he designed her to be."
Thank you!
