Update: Urgent Prayer Request - Oklahoma tornadoes

Dear Prayer Warriors,

 

Thank you warriors for all your prayers. All the family members in Oklahoma are accounted for. They are safe and sound but still need a lot of prayers to get through the aftermath. Please keep all of the people that are suffering from this devastation in your prayers. It is as bad if not worse then what we see on TV.

 

One of the Moore, OK residents said on CNN yesterday, "The last thing you want to lose in a situation like this is Faith. We have to hold on to faith and trust God in every moment!" ...a woman who had most of her family accounted for but was still waiting to hear about two of them. We pray that they have been found.

 

Thank you and God bless you,

Teri & Michael

Thank you for reaching out to the prayer warriors.  My oldest son lives in Moore.  He and his wife are ok as are my granddaughters and their mom.   But devastation is all around and good friends are unaccounted for.  

I am headed there on Thursday for graduation.    

Love and prayers to you.   Thanks for your ministry.  God bless you and keep you,

Cris Diaz

Hello Mike and Teri

Please include my family some of whom live in Moore and were spared and the rest of the family scattered in Oklahoma City. We have sent up our prayers and will continue to do so.

Thank you

Dear Prayer Warriors, 

Please send out some mighty prayers for my childhood friends who have been hit by the horrible Oklahoma City area tornadoes in the past few hours; Maline Johnson (who is the sister of Valentine Baty, my good friend and one of our Prayer Warriors) and Butch Williams (brother of my good friend Barbara Williams), and also Al Williams Jr. and Jennifer Williams who are Maline and Butch's grown children.  I grew up with both the Baty and Williams' families and we were all friends in the neighborhood. 

We have heard from Butch who is in Oklahoma City and he is safe at the moment and he has heard from his daughter, Jennifer who had an underground 'safe place' built a couple of years ago in Moore, OK. She is fine but her house and everything else is gone.  We have been unable to reach Maline who also lives in Moore near Jen but is not at Jen's underground place. Valentine is very worried and concerned about her sister's safety and condition as the city of Moore was leveled. They have also not heard from Al Jr who lives north of Oklahoma City with his family. 

We ask the Blessed Mother to wrap her loving arms around all of our friends and all the people being affected by these terrible tornadoes and especially the Plaza Towers Elementary school that was hit directly by the tornado.  Please keep them safe and out of harms way and bring comfort and healing to those who have been injured.  We pray that we hear from Maline soon and that she is safe and unharmed. We pray that their Guardian Angels are watching over and protecting all of them and we ask our Dear Lord to stop these tornadoes that are still ripping through these areas.

Jesus, please protect my friends and bring them all to safety and show them that you are the Way to help them get through this terrible time.

Thank you so much for your prayers and God bless you and your families and loved ones,

Teri & Michael

Prayer for Those Suffering from Natural Disasters

Almighty God, we humble ourselves before You, the creator of all things visible and invisible. So many throughout the world suffer from the forces of nature. Have mercy on them, O Lord! So many have died from disasters. Give them eternal rest, O Lord! Do not look on our sins, but on our faith in You. We place all of our hope in Your goodness. Calm the storms, bring gentle rains to our lands and let Your people live in tranquility and peace. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
