Prayer and Praise 

January 2025



Happy New Year! We enter into every new year anticipating great things from God. 2025 could be the year that Jesus returns to snatch away His bride to be with Him forever. What a glorious hope we have in knowing this truth. He loves us and will one day come and rescue us completely from sin and its effects. If that doesn’t excite you, probably very little will!


C.P.A. - Almond, NY - Winter is officially under way. Please pray for our headquarters building to be protected from the elements of winter. Pray the furnace works well and keeps the building warm enough. Also, we want to sell this building because it is of very little use to us most of the year. Thank you for your prayers over 2024. You are a blessing.


ROB & SUE ANDREAS - Portageville, NY - Each year we draw nearer to the day when we will be with Jesus and forever be joyful in Him. We are sure 2025 will bring many challenges that we cannot see right now. Through it all God will remain faithful and true to each of us who are His children. Please pray for a man named Hiram. He is weak and frail. He loves the Lord and as he waits on Him it is very difficult. Winter in the Northeast is difficult for many. Pray especially for the elderly in our churches that must deal with this. Pray for physical and spiritual growth for the church. We are thankful for how God supplies all our needs. He is a wonderful Savior, and He sustains each of us in great and mighty ways. Thank you for your support over the past year and for many of you for many years.


CAROL BUCKLEY - Hegins, PA - Thank the Lord for a blessed 2024 Christmas season where the message of the gospel was preached through some special programs and souls were saved.  Praise the Lord for His great goodness to me over this past year.  As we entered 2025 let us remember to pray for America and its leaders.  Please pray for Godly leadership in our government as well as in churches across America.  Pray for encouragement for the pastors in Church Planters to America and please pray for additional laborers that would be able to join them in preaching the gospel and help plant churches right here in America.


MARK & SUE RUGGERIO - Belfast, ME - As 2024 ends and a new year begins, we ask for prayers for the direction of the ministry this year at Emmanuel. Please be in prayer for two of our senior members who have breathing difficulties. This winter has already been challenging for them. Pray for their health. With the onset of winter, it has been hard for many people to come out consistently. Please pray for attendance, especially on Sunday evening and Midweek. Pray for Moriah as she returns to her final full semester of college at Houghton (she will be taking a May course abroad). Praise the Lord for the Christmas Carol Sing along with the tenants of a local apartment building. It was a good time of prayer, singing and fellowship for some who have a hard time getting out. Praise the Lord for His provision and that we have been able to make all our expenses.
