Evangelism News of Callies 9/22

Sept. 22 News of Callies: 

On Sunday morning early on Sept 20th, it was a beautiful day to drive up North for Evangelism ministry at two different places who do not have deaf church. We ministered to one friend and have a private 'little church' and it was such a blessing. And at different place, two friends who do not have a deaf church, we had communion with them and it was such a blessing to them for us to serve them. 

God had truly blessed us and we felt the joy of the Lord in our spirits and we were able to pray and sing freely along the highway. It was amazing grace of the Lord! Thank you for your prayers that we sense a beautiful freedom in our spirits.

Thank you, Lord for everything.

Thank you, Lord for the love you bring.

Thank you, Lord for my eyes to see.

Thank you, Lord for loving me.

22 Sept 2015 - Urgent Prayer Requests – Submit by Dorothy

From Karen Batts Friend of the Calhoun in Peoria/Mossville, Illinois:

Our Deaf Brother and Sister in the Lord, Kent/Teri-Lyn Calhoun are requesting for prayer as they had put their house on the market. Even before it was agree and signed to sell their home...the realtor who is a hearing Christian brother, found a buyer and that buyer did offer CASH for it....as quick as it was offer, then at the last min....that buyer had pulled out and changed his mind. Real business, now it is on the market, a special family had fell in LOVE with their home and knowing they could not afford it, they tried to get a higher loan and the bank did not agree with them. This was heartbroken news as the Calhoun knew this family should have gotten their home.

The Calhoun wants God's glory in the sold of their home.  All in God's hand. They trust in God alone to do this "appoint a family" to live in this home.  Now the selling has cooled off but still on the market, the spiritual war has started...it been felt by the brothers/sisters around...satan does not want this home sold. The Calhoun has proven to sell of this home has they have already down size in huge measure! Where are they going to live??? It was felt AZ should be the place...again... All the Calhoun wants is God approval and Glory. They do not want to be one step away from His Glory. It will take a special person to buy this home.

Please join with us in prayer that this war will be won to the Glory of God.  That is all the Calhoun ever wanted. Thank you for posting this prayer request. [You’re welcome, Dot]
