Please pray that the Lord would guide the elders in their upcoming board meeting as they discuss avenues for future ministry. Praise the Lord Eli Carter is well, healthy and thriving. Give thanks for the doctors and nursing staff that are giving him such excellent care. Pray that the Lord continues to watch over Bruce, Keren, James and Ella. Please pray that all facets of the new childcare would be done with excellence, and be pleasing to the Lord. Continue to pray for peace in Syria, where more than 100 people were killed in an attack on several poor farming villages in May. Since the countrys unrest began in March 2011, hundreds of families have fled to neighbouring countries, where Alliance churches assist refugees. Pray that God will protect His people and end the violence. Also, pray that believers will demonstrate Christs love and that God will be glorified in this situation.
