PRAYER INTENTIONS
The ICS community prays for the people of the Philippines as they recover from the aftereffects of last week's devastating storm. We also pray for all of those who lost their lives and their families who mourn their loss. May God grant the people of the Philippines relief and support.
We hold Miss Connie Sikkema from Messiah Migrant Ministries in our thoughts and prayers as she battles hydrocephalus. Miss Connie and her organization have been the beneficiaries of our Food Drive for many years (and will be once again this year). May God offer Miss Connie health, courage and peace to fight this serious condition.
Please continue to pray for Mrs. Bennington's uncle who was hospitalized recently. May God grant him healing.
We lift up David and Marcela Quevedo (Grades 2 and 3) and their family as they mourn the loss of their great-grandmother (the grandmother of Mrs. Quevedo). May God give the family comfort, peace and strength during this difficult time.
Please pray for the Sanchez family (Ailanie and Kaela, Grades 1 and 5) as they deal with the passing of their grandmother (Mrs. Sanchez's mother). We ask that God watch over the Sanchez family and grant them His love, peace and healing.
Have a prayer intention? Send it to icsmzele@icstampa.org. Prayer requests will run for two weeks unless specified otherwise.
