PRAYER REQUESTS
Brian in CA. – We are still praying for him. His dad passed, and his stepmom wants to sell the home. He is autistic, so change is difficult. His aunt got another appraisal, which lowered the value, which may be easier for Brian to reach. A previous contact cannot represent, but did send good info. There are still a lot of legal hurdles in front of him. PTL ! He is moving in Brian’s life. Please pray for him.
