thank you for praying



Thanks to all who prayed for my family and our neighborhood this week. I am extremely grateful. We are now safely back in our home ... which is still standing ... PRAISE THE LORD!! It is a miracle that our home was not destroyed. The entire hill surrounding our home is black and more than 130 homes in our neighborhood were burned. Please continue to pray for our neighbors who are cleaning, rebuilding and looking for comfort during this difficult time.

During my evacuation, I stayed with a family in Oceanside (thank you Roy family!!) On Tuesday morning, we had a time of worship and prayer with our pastors who had also been evacuated to their home. During that prayer time, the Lord gave Pastor Jerry a word from Genesis 50:20 - "...you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive". He reminded us that although the crisis our city is facing is bad, God is good and He is working through this situation and we believe MANY will be saved. God is not the author of fire, but He will work through it. You can help our city by praying these three points as suggested by my pastor ...

FIRE -- Pray that the fire of God falls on San Diego. This represents cleansing, purifying and preparing people to respond to God.

SMOKE -- Pray for the cloud of God's presence and His glory to be evident in our city.

DISPLACEMENT -- Pray that people will be placed in God's house ... that people will be saved and placed in churces across San Diego.

Thank for for praying!! The effective, fervent prayer of the righteous avails much. I have already heard incredible testimonies from my neighborhood ... our prayers are moving mountains.
