HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Here are praise reports and prayer requests for this week. 

Praise Reports:
- Praise the Lord: - He blessed our trip to America for the missions conference - we were refreshed, encouraged and strengthened  
- Praise the Lord - Pastor Leo and some other missionaries who had to leave the UK have been given peace and clarity of direction for their paths
- Praise the Lord - The church in Ballymena stayed close while we were gone with the members encouraging one another and the Lord blessed Tim's teachings Sunday mornings
- Praise the Lord - Had some wonderful fellowship with Trish, sharing Communion together at one church service and praying with her for a re-dedication of her heart to the Lord at another
- Praise the Lord - Bill in California, who suffered a stroke, has returned to work with most all symptoms eased.

Thank you for praying for the following with us:
- Please pray with us for a couple that we visited in hospital in Letterkenny Ireland: Noel and Sandra for salvation. Sandra, has been in intensive care for almost 4 months from a respiratory virus which has cleared, but left her with damaged kidneys & on dialysis. 
- Also pray that she would be able to come off the ventilator and breath on her own and that the Lord will heal the other things necessary for her to be able to be airlifted back to Australia.
- Pray that as we travel to visit with them weekly, doors will open to share the gospel more directly with Noel (who is open and giving God the credit for 2 miraculous deliverances from death for Sandra in this ordeal)
- Pray for this weekend's "All-Ireland" church conference in Athlone, Republic of Ireland that there will be unity, mixed fellowship between the church members and growth and encouragement for all
- Pray for Juliet from Huntington Beach, a young lady who is a medical student at university in Guatemala and serving as a medical missionary. She asks for personal safety and spiritual discernment.
- Pray for our friend Debbie in California who is scheduled for surgery Jan 26, 2016 to remove her esophagus due to cancer.

Thank you for your faithful prayer support   God bless you,
Rick & Cindy Johnston
