Today I am “supposed” to link with Angie and Free Spirit Haven to share prayer requests. Since I’m in the mountains, would someone be kind enough to link me with Angie? Thanks Friends!

Please pray for ANGIE who is hosting this Meme. If you follow her blog, you know that she and her family have been through a lot of trials lately.

Other families needing prayers:

The Freeman family who sent their precious baby Kayleigh to heaven. If you don’t know about their story, just click on Kayleigh’s button at the top of my blog.

Baby Stellan and young Abby still need prayers as well.

And please don’t forget young Kyndall (another button at the top of my blog) who had an accident and is still in the hospital. Please pray God will continue to bring complete healing.

Please pray for Lisa’s (Family Life) Mom.

Please pray for Nan’s Mom (MomstheWord) too.

Please pray for the elderly who are in poor health. Please pray they will have strength and peace of mind.

Featured Prisoner – Gao Zhisheng

• Location: China
• Arrested: February 2009
• Days Imprisoned: 98

On Feb. 4, Gao Zhisheng, was abducted by Chinese secret police from his hometown. Since 2005, Gao has been repeatedly arrested, imprisoned and severely tortured by Chinese authorities, mostly for his work defending Chinese Christians. In 2006, he and a group of prominent human rights lawyers created the Association of Human Rights Attorneys for Chinese Christians. In 2007, he was arrested and spent over 50 days behind bars where he was tortured. “I was beaten so badly that my whole body began shaking uncontrollably on the floor,” Gao writes of his torture in an open letter.

God bless Gao and his family. In America, we can’t fathom true sacrifices for our faith.

Featured Prisoner – Sandul Bibi

• Location: Pakistan
• Arrested: October 2008
• Days Imprisoned: 216

Twenty- year-old Sandul Bibi is in prison in Pakistan, charged with violating section 295-B of the Pakistani legal code, the “blasphemy” law. Sandul is falsely accused of ripping pages from the Quran. On Oct. 9 a large crowd of Muslims attacked Christian families at a church, throwing stones and firing guns. They were shouting, “Kill Gulsher and his daughter Sandul.” Sandul and her father, Gulsher Masih, were arrested after a mob from the local mosque surrounded their house. Loudspeakers from different mosques broadcast accusations that Christians had disgraced the Quran, calling Muslims to attack and burn their homes. The angry crowd threw stones at Sandul’s home. Christians believe Sandul and her father were targeted and arrested because they were aggressively winning villagers to Christ.

Sandul has written several letters to her family from prison. In her latest letter she says, “I am praying a lot that God releases me from here and I can meet you, but I don’t know when. He will give answers for our prayers. Please pray for me.” If convicted, Sandul faces at least four years in prison. She and her family desperately need your prayers and encouragement.

I’ll hopefully be home tomorrow … though I never know with this hubby of mine.
