Christ Church Schenectady Prayer Table report September 12, 9:30-10:30 AM Torre Bissell and Don Foust
+–indicates received wooden cross made by Dennis Adams of North Carolina.
While the weather was overcast and cool with occasional sprinkles, State Street was full of activity.
+Carol–Crossed the street for pray. Carol needs to find a new apartment, but is full of fear. We prayed for God’s peace in her life and the means to find a new place to live.
+Richard– wanted “happiness”. We prayed for the true joy that only God can give.
+Lillian–on her way to work. We prayed for blessings at her place of work.
+Tony–Tony was wearing his wooden cross from a previous visit. He took a cross for his grand-daughter Alexis. Tony is trying to put his life back together. He is looking for his own place to live. He would like to get back together with his ex-girl friend. We prayed for strength for Tony to follow his new path.
+RC–This older gentleman was very skeptical about what we did at the Prayer Table. We prayed for his work and his family. After praying, he gladly accepted a cross and put in on.
+Keko–This young man was looking for a job. We prayed for meaningful employment.
Kayla– A regular. Kayla was in unusually good spirits. We prayed for healing of old wounds (Kayla had been raped last year). We prayed for blessings for her son Nassir, her brother Josh, and her mother.
+Trish–This woman approached the Prayer Table very timidly. We prayed for her children Justus and Sasha. When we gave her a cross, she said, “I really wanted a cross“. Later that morning, we saw a car slow down and pick-up Trish. Please pray for Trish’s rescue from “a life on the streets”.
+Michelle–With her husband on the way to do laundry. We prayed for blessings on this family.
+John–This older man walked by on the other side of the street and said he would stop on his way back from the store. On his return trip, John passed by the Prayer Table on the opposite side of the street, remembered his words to us, turned around and crossed the street. We prayed for peace in the world, peace on the streets of Schenectady, and peace among all peoples.
Clarence–This man had stopped by the Prayer Table last week. We had prayed for a job, and Clarence praised the Lord that he had found a part-time job at the car wash. Clarence is on parole and is deeply committed to turning his life around. He may attend services at Christ Church. Pray for Clarence and thank God for his faithfulness.
+Chris–works at the City Mission. We prayed for blessings on her ministry to others.
+Paulette and her children +Monette and +Taishawn– Repeat visitors to the Prayer Table. We prayed for protection and blessings on this family.
