My brother Daniel ("Danny Joe") is enroute to the hospital with asthma and allergy problems. Please pray for healing for him, and that his wife Amber not be stressed and fearful with this situation.
Prayer Request From Regina (Nov 15th)
My grandma was actually admitted to the hospital last night. Please add her to the prayer requests....They really don't know what is wrong with her and I don't know that I even understand what her symptoms are. It seems she is just wearing out. She is 82. Not that that is old, but she is getting more and more ... feeble?
Prayer Request From Leo (Nov 9th) Family and Friends, A civil complaint have been filed against us from Elijah’s Foster parent on the 19th and the Juvenile Courts also set up another hearing on the same date. Her complaint is Adrian’s name is not on the birth certificate, no visitation from any of the family members, and she loves Elijah. The court hearing is for his adoption. After much, much, thought and prayer we have come to the conclusion that there has been deception from the very start. The last time when we were down in San Carlos, AZ we had a meeting with the director of CPS, Elijah’s case worker, and our case worker. In the course of the meeting the director said some things he probably didn’t mean to blur out. 1. This was all supposed been done in confidently, but word got out and a relative of my ex-wife heard about it and she in turn told my sister in-law, who in turn called us. 2. Traditionally the children are given to the mothers side of the family if that doesn’t work than the relatives, if that doesn’t work than the clan of the family, if that doesn’t work the Tribe, and the last recourse is non members of the Tribe and at the bottom line is white people (these were his words). They never intended for us to find out. But we showed up. As I have stated there’s more to what‘s going on. We need your prayers as we go back down to San Carlos in two weeks. One thing I know back in 2006 when the first initial meeting was to take place we were to meet with both the foster parents and talk about the kids than take the kids for the weekend. We got to San Carlos around 10:00am and met with the case worker Tonya, she told us that Shamiquia was already placed with a relative and we were not able to take her. Since Elijah was in School Tonya said to come back around 2:30 and we’ll meet with Elijah’s foster parent and pick up Elijah. We went to Globe, AZ for a few hours and we got back to the CPS office at 2:30, we asked for Tonya and we were told she had gone for the day. The secretary said their driver was going to pick up Elijah from school. The meeting with the foster parents never took place. In the course of our conversations over the phone she has been telling us about both kids and how we will meet with the foster parents and so on. Keep in mind the case worker was supposed to have set all this up. Shamiquia’s foster parent didn’t even know we were in town until the secretary called her and said Shamiquia’s grandfather was in town. They came right over and got to meet with Shamiquia. So we spent a wonderful weekend with our grandson Elijah. We never got to meet Ms. Grimes because she was not at home when we returned Elijah and could not be reached by phone. After we left him with Ms. Grimes brother we drove to Gallup, New Mexico to see my family. As we drove we prayed and decided to go ahead and take the child in. We wanted to know what the next step was. So the next morning before we left the area we put a call in to the social worker and left messages for us to return our call. She never did and all week we effortlessly try but to no avail she didn’t take our calls or returned our calls. By Friday I was upset and I asked to talk to the director and he got on the phone and said, “Mr. Leonard we don’t know who you are, but if you want to pursue this matter you will need to go through the Juvenile Courts and get you a lawyer or a advocate from within the Tribe? What Tonya did was not proper protocol?” So I asked him why did you let us take Elijah than if you didn’t know who I was? He just said it was a mistake on their part.
As Abraham called upon the Father. I’m calling upon Him wither if Elijah needs to be with us or he stay with Ms Grimes. I asked for your prayers for the Fathers will and guidance. As David face Goliath I’m facing not just the San Carlos CPS, but also the Tribe itself. What they said they didn’t hold their end and the door is still wide open and it needs to be closed. I asking prayer also for the Judges favor. I have put all this situation into the Father’s hands. Brother Leo
Prayer Request From Leo and Rebecca (Oct 4th) Well... It didn't go like we thought it would. The Judge looked through the file and two documentation were not in the file. Death certificate of the mother and the father giving up his parental rights. Also we need to get an attorney that can practice law on the Reservation. Good news we still have Shamiquia with us. Elijah is going to be a little more of a challenge too. Adrian does not have his name on the birth certificate, so there might be a blood test or he has to state that he is the biological father. At this moment we don't know where Adrian is, see if I can find him tomorrow? Elijah's foster parent also petition of adoption too. There are some more information we need to find (vital records) here while we're here so we might not leave here until Saturday morning? Shamiquia wants to see her brother and sisters so we are arranging a meeting Friday afternoon.

From Leo and Rebecca (Sep 16th) We received the letter from San Carlos Juvenile Courts for the adoption of Shamiquia. We have a court date on Oct 1st at 2:00pm. Please keep us in prayer for safe travels and the courts favor. In addition, there may be some progress in adopting our grandson Elijah. Please lift this up in prayer as well.
Prayer Request and Praise Report From Shirley (Sep 11th)
A testimony to God's mercy and compassion and to the power of prayer.Amen. According to the latests CT Scans, cancer is no longer evident in my pelvis as it had been in April. Also, the lymph node under my right arm that they left to see if the chemo was working is also free of cancer. Where my liver had "multiple" tumors in April, there are now only 2 and they shrunk from 2 centimeters to less than 1 centimeter a piece. The only concerning place is in my spine between my shoulder blades. That area hasn't changed, but I am faithful that there will be improvement there, soon. The doc did say that because the cancer was in my lymphatic system, that it was in my blood and tumors could pop up elsewhere. I refuse to accept that word in the name of my Savior Messiah and I send that back to hell where it belongs. God is very good and prayer is very powerful. I have faith that I will survive this cancer. In fact, Tuesday night I was telling Danny that I thought that when this healing is complete, that I would be called upon to visit churches with my testimony. Sure enough. I spoke to Pastor Ponce last night and he asked me to come and give my testimony to his church!! I'm waiting on a second witness to see if that word came to me truly from the Hol y Spirit. Dr. Grim also said that I will have to have chemo indefinitely. The insurance approved a year, but she says I will have chemo beyond that. I will take the chemo I'm on until I can't tolerate that anymore, than they'll use something else. I'm going to ask for a second opinon on that before we lose the house. I'm asking that the Father heal me completely before the end of the year, so perhaps that won't be a concern after all. Also, when I left the clinic, the billing department called me aside. My bill for chemo is already nearing a 6 digit amount for 5 months. They say that the insurance is only paying less than half of that and they are appealing. I'm on a PPO. They suggested that I may be responsible for the rest of the amount, so please PLEASE pray that this is resolved in my favor. We're talking about a catastrophic amount of money. My dryer also went on the fritz. This is the 4th or 5th time sinse we bought the set only 14 months ago. I have to call and have it repaired. Satan succeeded in robbing my joy for awhile until Danny reminded me of the miracle that had taken place. Then I became very contrite and repented. I feel so sad that I set aside my joy so easily and lost my faith over a few meaningless (compared to my life) issues. We're in Lewisville , TX north of Dallas . Danny called Wed. AM to tell me that he had a training here. We had to wait to leave until I was finished with chemo at 5PM, so we got a late start. We had a good and safe trip. Danny just called to tell me that this is a two day class instead of one day, so I'll have to make some arrangements for an extra night. Fortunately, Danny's meals, gas, and hotel are paid for. Also, he has a company car to drive. Emily and I are going to stay in the hotel for today, I think. I didn't sleep well, last night (or the night before) and I'm going to rest. Emily is enjoying the cable TV. We don't have cable at home. We'll keep Danny's car tomorrow and go mall hopping after we have to check out. The room is lovely and comfortable. It even has a sofa so can sleep in comfort. Life is good. We are rejoicing and praising God!!!! Thank you SO MUCH for all standing beside me with all your faithful prayers! Peace and Blessing Shirley
From Benji and Stephanie West (Sep 14th) Dear Brothers and Sisters, Our son David Jacob West died this morning. He was born April 11, 2007 and has returned to be with Yahushuah today. He is a witness to all of you Brethren of things to come. We ask for prayer at this time and if the Father leads you, we will need help to pay for the funeral arrangements, but other than that I am waiting for the message from the Father that will come soon, and I will be coming to pass this message to you. For those of you who have stated the Father does not require sacrifice from us please read the following passages from Yahushuah and seek his forgiveness. The Messiah’s Mercy is all we have, We are but dirt and will return to dirt. Matt. 10:34-38 34 "Don't suppose that I have come to bring peace to the Land. It is not peace I have come to bring, but a sword! 35 For I have come to set 36 a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, so that a man's enemies will be the members of his own household. 37 Whoever loves his father or mother more than he loves me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than he loves me is not worthy of me. 38 And anyone who does not take up his execution-stake and follow me is not worthy of me. Matt. 8:19-22 19 A Torah-teacher approached and said to him, "Rabbi, I will follow you wherever you go." 20 Yahushuah said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds flying about have nests, but the Son of Man has no home of his own." 21 Another of the talmidim said to him, "Sir, first let me go and bury my father." 22 But Yahushuah replied, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead." Your Brother Benjamin and Stephanie West 101 Green Street Petal, MS 39465 601-467-4882
Praise Report From Leo (Sep 7th, 2008)Family & Friends, Results of my stress test for my heart. Good news, my heart is still strong and the pacemaker is doing its job. But in December I go in for another check for the battery life. If it’s down to 2 months or so they are going to go ahead and replace it. Thank you for all your prayers and support. Prayer Request From All of Beit Tefillah (Aug 28th, 2008) Please keep JD Kimbrell and Yvette Alley as they train up to deploy in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Praise Report & Prayer Request From Wayne & Ceci (Aug 25th, 2008) Our son Andy and his wife Sofia are expecting their first child in April. This is definitely a praise, but also a prayer for Sofia and baby's safety and comfort. Earlier this month, they met with a missions pastor regarding the possibility of going to Kazakhstan. Andy and Sofia were provided with a three year prep timeline if they felt called to go (and they do). Prayer Request From Kerry Alexander (July 21st) My son Nehemiah and his girlfriend Jordan were in a car accident. Nehemiah is OK, but Jordan is in critical condition. Please pray for healing for Jordan and comfort for her family. (Prayer request relayed by Linda Thomas)
Prayer Request From Wayne and all of Beit Tefillah (July 15th) Please continue to keep our sister Shirley and her family lifted up in prayer.
