(prayer request)

Dear Christian Friends,

Just a quick note, to ask you to pray for my Dad and Mom’s dear Pastor.  His name is Pastor Steensma, and he is currently in critical condition with a kidney stone, pneumonia, and a possible heart attack.  Pastor is a diabetic, which means that he has less strength and health to fight against these ailments.  My mom told me tonight, to specifically pray that God will give him strength to heal.

I’ve been under his preaching just a handful of times but I can tell you that he is a bright light in his church, and community.  He preaches the word of God in a genuine, loving way and is truly a shepherd to his people.  Even his prayers during the church services have brought tears to my eyes, as I sat in my pew and listened.  He is also a  friend, to my Dad, a brother in Christ who has sharpened him and encouraged him in the Lord.

Please, please pray for his recovery.  If the Lord takes him home, we will praise His name, but it won’t be because people did not pray for him to remain on earth, just a little longer.  May God’s will be done!

Thank you so very much.  This is a real burden of my heart tonight.  If you pray for him, please leave a comment with your first name, and where you live (state, or country).  I am sending out a card, and will list your names. 

Love, from your friend, ~Shanda~
