URGENT PRAYER NEEDS!

Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Just moments ago I got a text from Eldon Savage husband of Shonda Savage who did the CUP yesterday, she is a writer for us here at FGGAM,  that Shonda is in the ER in El Paso, Texas with severe abdominal pains. Let us pray for healing, for relief of pain, Oh Lord we come to you for super natural healing for Shonda, for relief of this pain and peace for Eldon.

We also have this news story posted at FGGAM.ORG   www.fggam.org   Let us pray for 4 year old Adam Chavez and his mother Melissa Storey…….

Amber Alert For Albuquerque 4 Year Old Boy

Let us also gather here at the CUP and pray for Mirium Arnold. Mirium is the Mother of our Dear friend, Janice Arnold Jones of Albuquerque. Many of you know Janice, who has served our state so well in the past as a State Legislator and also the City of Albuquerque, having served on the City Council. Mirium has stage 4 cancer of the colon, liver and lungs. Please pray for healing for Mirium and for peace and strength for Janice and the entire family.

As we pray for Shonda, Adam, Melissa and Mirium, let me share with you this short post that many of you enjoyed………..I pray that you will share it with everybody you know…….

The Lord put it on my heart to share an article that the Baptist Convention of New Mexico Executive Director Joseph Bunce wrote in the August 30th edition of the Baptist New Mexican.

Here is part of it……….

I have never desires fame, but I have often prayed that God would allow me to live a life of principles. My favorite verses in the entire Bible are Proverbs 30: 7-9, which is a prayer that is my constant prayer.

“Two things I ask of You;

don’t deny them to me before I die:

Keep falsehood and deceitful words far from me.

Give me neither poverty nor weath;

feed me with the food I need.

Otherwise, I might have too much

and deny You, saying, ‘Who is the LORD?’

or I might have nothing and steal.

profaning the name of my God”

Joesph Bunce continues to write……..

I have also developed a list of five principles that I have sought to direct my everyday life. They are based on five simple words,: love, learn, listen, laugh and lead.

1. Love God, love others and love my enemies. Matthew 5:43

2. Learn from God and others. Matthew 11: 28-30

3. Listen to God and to those I seek to serve. 1 Corinthians 4: 1-5

4. Laugh. Don’t take everything so serious. Proverbs 17:22, Ecclesiastes 3:4

5. Lead. God called me to lead my family, both my personal family and my Christian family. Joshua 24:15

The word that I would close this article with is “laugh.” I wish to remind you of the importance of laughter. Martin Luther is quoted as saying, “Your laughter is the measure of your faith.” It is so easy to be overwhelmed with life and forget to laugh.

WOW!  Such a timely and wise article by  Joseph Bunce who is the Baptist Convention New Mexico Executive Director. I also want to share with you, I highly recommend you subscribing to the Baptist New Mexican newspaper by calling Joy Pittman at 505-924-2311. It is one of the best things that I get in the mail!

Lord willing I will be able to keep you posted on these prayer needs, check back at FGGAM.ORG       www.fggam.org

We love you all so much!

I also will send out an urgent need if the Lord says so……..Love to all, Dewey, Sharon, family and FGGAM Team
