Prayer Partner Update

Received via email from Nancy Alcorn a few days ago:

I am traveling to St. Louis this weekend for several speaking engagements. I will be speaking to a group in the community on Saturday night (September 13). I will also be doing the three Sunday morning services at Faith Family Church in Shiloh, IL (St. Louis area) - at 8:00 AM, 9:30 AM, and 11:00 AM. Then I will be speaking to a large group for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Sunday night at 5:00 PM. Please pray for favor and for God to move and touch peoples lives during each of the times we share, and that He would continue to divinely connect us with people for His purposes.

I will be traveling to Los Angeles next weekend to speak at a womens conference called God Chicks. Please pray that will be a very powerful and effective time of ministry as well.

Please continue to pray for the girls in the program. We want to also update you with the names of our current residents because weve had quite a few girls graduate. (Check out some of our graduate stories on our website). For your convenience, I have attached a new list of names so that you can print it out and put it in your Bible.

Please continue to pray for our finances. This continues to be a challenging situation. Pray for God to touch the peoples hearts who are able to give extra at this time. Pray also for our monthly partners to be blessed so that they can keep their monthly commitments.

I was pretty shaken this morning as I got off the phone with a pastor from Louisiana who is very close to our ministry. He shared with me that he has an 11 year-old girl in his congregation that is pregnant. Her mother took her to get an abortion yesterday, but she couldnt go through with it, so she ended up calling this pastor for help and he called me this morning. Even though our age limit begins at 13, we will probably make an exception for this girl because she has no one and no where else to turn. The first thing we are recommending is that she be taken to the doctor to get a good physical and to find out how far along she is. Please pray for this young girl this is obviously a very devastating situation, and very indicative of the state of our nation.
