Please pray for Barry Malphrus.  He is the chairperson to organize Operation Christmas Child for CBC.  Barry has cerebral palsy and due to that has difficulty with mobility.  He has been having some pain in his hips lately that is keeping him from being able to practice his physical therapy which is horseback riding.  This has helped to keep him flexible in the hips for many years, but now with the pain he is not able to ride. Also pray as he is organizing OCC this year: that each detail will fall into place, that all the help will be available as it has in the past for making boxes, packing boxes, and loading boxes.Pray that OCC will exceed last year’s numbers, because that will mean that even more children will be able to hear the gospel. Pray that each box will bless the child that receives it. Debi Gant 

The Greatest Gift, Inc, the foundation started by Barry Malphrus, sent out several hundred letters today requesting donations for boxes for Operation Christmas Child. Please say a prayer that all of those who will receive the letters will feel compelled to give to this wonderful project.  This is the same organization that by God’s grace we were able to pack 963 boxes last year and our goal for this year is 1,000.

Please pray for Miranda Manuel. (Corrine and Shelby’s daughter). She has been in a car wreck and totaled her car. She doesn’t seem to have serious injury. Pray for the Manuels as they go to be with her. Terry Beach
