Greetings All
We are now in the 3rd of our 4 studies “God’s Grand Vision for the Home.” It is the smallest of our studies in reading, but the consensus last evening was “good things do come in small packages” one of the pluses is we’re able to read the whole chapter out loud as a class.
Congrats to Rodney who recited his memorization of Psalm 1 but the Kingdom story shared by James was the joy of the evening.
James has recently started getting visits from his less than 2 yr old son Brandon. Prior to these visits James hadn’t had any contact with Brandon since early infancy. However, Ashley, Brandon’s mom of late felt it would be to Brandon’s benefit to know his dad, thus the beginning of visitation about a month ago. The visitations our going really well, Brandon gets excited as the day of visitation comes near and does not want to leave at the end of visitation. James further shared that he and Ashley are developing a relationship that wasn’t there before. He gives God the glory saying “Now being a man of God I see the importance of being a dad and through Malachi Dads I’m learning what was never modeled to me growing up” Praises to our glorious and loving God, please keep James, Ashley and Brandon in your prayers.
Another special note; I had an opportunity to talk with Ed, one of the correctional officers before class, (I don’t believe he is a believer). After some short discussion on things in general he shared that his wife Kim is going under medical test to identify the reasons behind her having seizures of late. Without getting long I ask that you pray for Ed, Kim and their whole family and for the doctors to identify then be able to give the medical attention Kim needs.
As always with a humbled heart THANK YOU for your prayers and acknowledgments of praying they are being answered and encouraging

Sheridan Correctional Malachi Dads Prayer Request - Friday April 1, 2011
Greetings with blessings and an abundance of joy to all of you prayer warriors who are truly a blessing to SOPCM and the men of Sheridan
This week was an open week as we transition from our study of “Lead Like Jesus” to “God’s Grand Vision for the Home”. We use the open week to have a teaching of spiritual gifts. The men were given a spiritual gifts test at the end of last week’s class to complete and learn about their gifts. I, having the gift of exhortation, found it uplifting to the men and myself as a short explanation of the gifts, encouragement for them to develop their gifts for His glory was taught.
We had a good diversity of gifts the most common being the gift of mercy. They were told that God will use their gift of mercy and time at Sheridan to minister to others someday all for His glory. Four of the men never heard anything about spiritual gifts, for them it was an encouraging session to see how they ‘DO’ have a purpose and means to glorify God.
Miguel – I first and foremost want to thank you for all your prayers. I pray that all your families are well in health and spirit. I ask that you pray for me to continue to tolerate the challenges that are put in my path so that I may continue to grow and to help them see that they need help. I also ask that you pray for me to lean more on God and Jesus when I’m faced with a situation that is hard for me to face. Thank you again for your prayers and wish you well. God bless you and keep the faith.
John P. – I want you all to know that I’m praying for you all also. The Lord moves in wonderful ways and I would love to be part of the ways. Will you keep me in your prayers throughout the week? I recently took the spiritual gift inventory and found out that I scored high in the spiritual gifts of mercy, serving and evangelism. Please help me to find my spot in ministry once released. Also please pray that my daughters will write me eventually if it’s God’s will. Prayerfully yours
Robert M. – Thank you so much and please pray for my son and mother’s well being and health, my brother, sister, sister-in-law, and their kids. Also please pray for Navic my cellie. He is struggling w/things and taking it out on me, also the other 40 guys in the wing with me. Please pray that I have the ability to be a walking testimony for Christ. Thank you, His loving servant.
John B. – Seeking prayer for God to provide me with favor and grace from prison officials and bless me with a “Work Release Program” {Note: John met his requirement of memorizing Psalm 1 and April 4 is his birthday)
Antoine – To pray for Laticha that the Lord will touch her heart and my sister Latotya that she will seek His comfort in the time of struggle. I would like you to pray for my mom, Bobbie, that she may continue to be smoke free. Pray for my dad that he may seek the Lord and find Him. Last pray for me that I may continue to grow stronger in my faith and depend on the Lord more and more.
Rodney J – Please pray for Pastor H----. He pastors a church in Joliet. He has been very sick. Thank you
Levi – I would like to ask you to pray for Scott, his strength, that he may persevere during troubling times and difficult situations also that he continue to share God’s Word. Pray for this study that we may grow and develop the specific gifts that God has equipped us with to fulfill His mighty purpose, Lastly pray for our families that may remain strong during our absence. Sincerely
Charles W. – My name is Charles W. I would like prayer for me to do the next right thing. Pray also for me to be vigilant and non-complacent. Pray for a closer relationship with my daughter Serena and for me to continue my walk with the Lord. Thank you.
Lidell – Just pray for the people at Sheridan and my family .
Adam – Grace, peace and mercy to you all from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. By the will of God we are counted worthy to serve Him, Amen! Please pray for all the brothers and sisters of Christ and their walk. Please pray for them that are lost and of the world and not of Christ. Please pray for the middle east of the world and whatever God’s stirring that He will get all the praise and glory! Amen! One more would be for my dad and his sickness. God bless, peace and love in Christ.
Jacob – I would like you to pray for my pastor and our church it was broken into last week. I also want you to pray for my family that God hears them continually. I would like you to pray for me that use me with the gift of music that He blessed me with. I ask that you pray for God blesses my little brothers Hasson and Alex back into my life.
Robert F. – I am asking prayer for my family to come to a complete intimate love relationship with God and for me to be in obedience with the Lord’s will. Keep His spirit and presence over Sheridan C. C. Thank you for your prayers and God bless you and your family.
Clarence – Lord I would love to hear from my son’s and their mother. Lord God I pray to find favor with you concerning this issue. I pray and trust You for their health and protection. In Jesus name Amen.
Please touch and agree with as we petition God and may the Lord continue to strengthen us in the power of His might.
