Deuteronomy 33:3, 27 NCV, “The Lord surely loves His people and takes care of all those who belong to Him. They bow down at His feet, and they are taught by Him. The everlasting God is your place of safety, and His arms will hold you up forever. He will force your enemy out ahead of you, saying, “Destroy the enemy!”

Praise Report from this date of April 29^th.

April 29, 2015: Dorothy Callies of Illinois: I know you have been praying for me since March 11 when my healthcare Insurance denied the coverage for fistula surgery. There were several phone calls between my doctor and the insurance and me. My appeals went through and a week later until April 24, the Insurance called to say that they accept the coverage and to go ahead with the surgery. So I met the Doctor today and he explained the procedure of “plug” and it should be helpful so I am scheduled for surgery on Tuesday morning on May 12^th. So my prayer is believing for a miracle that everything would be resolved so thank you for praying for me that the health insurance would be approved. 

11/1/15 Praise Report from Dorothy Callies: I just forgot to mention that the surgery done at Surgery Center for fistula was all paid for 100% by Healthcare Insurance. After surgery of May 12^th, it took three months for it to heal itself and finally the bleeding stopped. Then came the Doctor’s personal bill almost $2,000 and I called the Insurance and eventually they covered most of it until the balance of $192.00. I was waiting for that bill so I called. Surprisely, the Insurance said that they haven’t send it. The computer shows that it was still pending and possible that other source of Insurance might pay some of it or whatever. I really called that a miracle. Truly, God was at work although it took some times doing it. I give God the praise for hearing our prayers. I praise Him!

11/2/15 Betty Jo and Dallas Bennewitz of Rockford, Illinois request prayer for their safe trip with moving Truck and a hitched car while Dallas’ son, Brad is driving to Fort Myers, Florida. They will stop by Bloomington, Illinois for the night and I will certainly miss them. The story about Betty Jo and Dallas had left Florida 17 years ago in search of their deep spiritual hunger for God. Eventually, they found us and held on to us for spiritual training, guidance and growth. Now they are returning to be reunited with their families. Their testimony was that they had learned so much during that time. They are ready to share how great God was to them with their friends and families. Seventeen years ago, they left Florida hungry for God and now they are returning to Florida full of God’s lives in them. Amazing grace! How sweet God is toward them!
