It being the first Sunday of football season, I wasn't going to blog today, but then Lisa Nelson called with an urgent prayer request (#1 below) and I realized there were so many prayer requests, that I ought to put them out there and give you opportunity to list your own below in the comment section. So, here are a few from the AIM family:

1. Scott Nelson is in Seattle having what may be the most important father-son talk ever before they sedate his dad and put a tube down his throat. His father has leukemia and is not doing well.  We wait all our lives for conversations like this one and we need God's help to get through it.

2. Patti & Stew Blakely in Montana who are in a similar situation at Stew's mom (in ICU, not expected to live).

3. Robert Cantu is in the ICU in McAllen.

4. Sue Rogers has cancer and needs chemo.

5. Jackie Royal is fighting cancer.

6. Talia & I are going to Spain on Tues. A board meeting on 9/19. Then on to a World Race conference w/ 220 racers in Brasov Romania 9/20-25. Please also lift this event up. We expect the Spirit of God to fall and a generation to be called out. I will be blogging about it while I'm there.

7. Bruce & Marcy Dawson are liquidating their restaurant and seeking the call of God on their lives.

8. Our man hike in NH Oct. 1-4 - that God would show up and call out the 12 guys going on it.

9. Joyce Maltby has cancer and needs prayer.

10. Mikia Maltby at the Honor Academy - pray for grace during her adjustment there.

11. Emmanuel Sadiq's uncle died. His wife had died earlier, so now Emmanuel's family has to help care for their children.

Please feel free to share your own prayer needs and we'll lift them up to the father of lights who knows our frailty and loves us more than anyone else.
