I'm in this car help sick people (in this region of Azerbaijan), so that they can be screened to the doctors (in Tbilisi, Georgia). We have raw climate of this, many are ill, in many diseases. My old car for people very uncomfortable, cramped, nutria in the now hot, now cold, and it often breaks down. I fell in love with sick people and have complete trust in me as a good, sincere, which helps the believer. I help them with hospital doctors, for them I translator, because many do not understand the Georgian language. I spend all patients by helping them communicate in weight per day, hospital, pharmacy and on the road. So I need your prayers to Jesus blessed us with His presence to us, the weight per day and that they have accepted Jesus as Savior. I'm sick of real life example of how a true believer of God. Please do not forget to pray for my sickness seriously, who gives silnie pain. For examination and treatment do not have means, I'll give the arms of Jesus.

Baby -
I seek prayer help of you and colleagues for the immediate solution of the following burning issues in our life (including avoiding the selling of our house). I believe in the effectiveness of joint prayer for the solution of a particular thing.The prayer requested is for the following issues, 1. for early healing of my various ailments such as liver cirrhosis, gall bladder stones, renal calculi and diabetics. 2. for the cure of asthma of my wife Shyla and my daughter Priya 3. for the complete relief from nasal block of my son George (he has some breathing problem due to obstruction in the nose. 4. to get rid of the debt burden (following loss of our investments in a bank scam we were forced to take educ loan from banks in all these seven years,and hence a debtor) as quickly as possible by a financial breakthrough (by winning a bumber prize in lottery or other means, for instance). 5. to avoid selling off our home, where we have been living for decades, for clearing the bank dues and hence to get rid of the debt burden(the bank will act soon, if we may not be able to clear the dues pending. You know, prayers have made a significant effect on my life...I always welcome them and have found that my life thus far would not have been possible without them....offe​ring or receiving. You know, prayer has no cost, but a lot of rewards. Matthew 18:19 – “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” So I believe in the effectiveness of joint prayer for the solution of a particular thing. My dear, it is very sad and painful to me that our house is forced to dispose off for money and occupied by others. I have a sentimental attachment to my home and I pray in every hour to avoid the selling, by a miraculous financial breakthrough to clear educ loan dues in the bank I hope that soon after your next novena, we will be blessed with funds we expect for the above purposes.Hope you are fine.Thanks for prayers. Baby.

Please pray for my younger brother Sachin. He is suffering from Juvenile Diabetes which was diagonized 1 and half year back. Being just 17 years, there are times when he has to let go of the foods that he loved very much before. It is very disheartening to see him take insulin 3 times a day all by himself, even if he's with his friends at parties or movies.
Please do pray to heal him from this pain so that he can live a life without the pain and the saddness.
