Here are praise reports and prayer requests for this week.  

Praise Reports:

-Praise the Lord: For Rick's meeting today with some pastors from Ballymena. They had a good time of fellowship and mutual encouragement for each other.

-Praise the Lord: For the change that is seen in Vanessa since coming to CBV's youth group meetings. 

-Praise the Lord: there was staffing available to be able to have reunion meeting with 8-9 inmates at Maghaberry prison

- Praise the Lord: a senior staff member at the prison has taken responsibility to see that future scheduled ministry events at the prison will be staffed and authorized! 

- Praise the Lord Ruth & Jo Anne are both doing better emotionally and spiritually.

Thank you for praying for the following with us: 

- Pray with us for the Lord to open doors for growth to occur for the church; that relationships would be built with the family members and friends of church members in order for them to be comfortable enough to invite them to join us for church. 

- There is a limited time for Cindy to apply for a Access NI (Northern Ireland Police back ground check) which is required for her involvement with the women's prison ministry side of Karios. We need her passport in order to apply, and all of our documents are with our visa applications, please pray it arrives in time.

- Please pray for Jo Anne, a believer,who just got a temporary part time job, but is still feeling the effects of M.S..  She would still prefer to have a permanent part time position. 

- Pray for Roy, a resident at Maghaberry Prison, that the Holy Spirit will get through to his heart so he can believe in the Lord's transforming power for his life; the new life that only faith can bring about.

- Pray that there will be no hang-ups with our visa application.

- Pray for Rick's hair-cutter, Jacqueline Kennedy, a believer, who has now had 3 surgeries for breast cancer and all cancer was gotten in the last one! She didn't require chemo or radiotherapy (radiation).

- Jacqueline asks if we could pray for her to have strength in her arm, for nausea to settle, a complete healing and wisdom concerning her business.

Thank you for your faithful prayer support,
Blessings,
Rick and Cindy Johnston
