Urgent Prayer

​

Dear Prayer Partners,

Thank you for your continued prayer and standing in the gap for John and me.

John is in an extreme amount of pain today, they have done some test to try to determine the cause.  We do know that he has a chest infection, but they do not believe this has to do with the pain.

Please continue to pray for complete healing for him and for wisdom and that the test would reveal where the pain is coming from and for the doctors to know how to treat the cause.

Thank you so much again for continuing to stand with us.

Agape,

Monette and John

Just had and thought we have a whole army of Prayer Warriors!! praying with us.  Thank you so very much for taking the time to pray.  We are blessed and highly favored, all of us.

Prayer Requests

​

Dear Prayer Partners, family and friends,

 

We are praying you have a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed, Joyous, and Prosperous New Year.   There is such an anticipation for this New Year!!  Looking forward to what the

Lord has in store for us and you in this New Year.  Jeremiah 29:11  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Thank you for your love, prayers, encouraging words, and support. 

The ward John is in is experiencing an outbreak of some kind of infection, with flu like symptoms along with cough and congestion.  John has been diagnosed with a chest infection and has

 been in isolation the last couple of days but that was stopped this morning for him.

The ward is still under lock down, isolation, and this morning they were not sure if it would be lifted before Christmas.  There was a new case of infection

diagnosed this morning so it seems there is an ongoing infection is the ward.  Please be praying not only for John but for the others in the ward and the nurses and aids that are caring for

 the residents. There are a few of the nurses and aids which are infected also.  It is a very trying and tiresome job even on good days without sickness in the ward.  A lot of the dementia

patients express agitation when the are unwell, so the aids and nurses are under a lot more pressure to try to keep the ward calm and peaceful.  So please be praying for healing and peace for

 the residents, nurses and aids.

We are so thankful "our GOD is able" to do far above what we can hope or dream.  So we keep believing, trusting and waiting on HIM who is faithful!

 

GOD Bless you

 Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Love,

Love

Monette and John

Prayer Needs

​

Dear Prayer Partners,

I know it has been a while since I have sent a news letter.  Please forgive me, sometimes it is very hard to say what you want,  we are battling and praying and believing and speaking healing and health over John and others.  Keeping our eyes on JESUS the Author and Finisher of our Faith!!!

Thank you so much for your faith, your prayers, your support, your love and your faithfulness.  John has been doing pretty well, although he isn't able to walk, doesn't talk much but all things being as they are we are thanking the LORD for what HE is doing and believing for John's healing, the Word says in Mark 16:18 they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.  We continue to lay hands on John and speak healing and health to his entire body, soul and spirit.

As of yesterday, the doctor at the aged care home has diagnosed John with an upper respiratory infection.  Today, I was informed that the flu virus is also been diagnosed in several of the patients and they are asking family members to limit their visits and if they have an sign of sickness not to come at all. Otherwise they are on lockdown until the outbreak is under control.

Please be praying for John and the other patients and residents in the building and the nursing and care staff, that the LORD would protect all of them from this or any other disease.

We are thankful!!! If you remember about September of last year John was given 2 weeks to live.  He is still here so the LORD is not finished with him.  He has been in this aged care home for a year on November 7TH.  What a miracle!!  For sure the LORD is not finished with him yet.

Thank you so much for your prayers, your encouraging notes, your visits, your phone calls, your love, your support, your prayers just being there and us knowing there are people who love and care for us, we are so blessed to have friends who will believe and pray with us and for us.

GOD bless all of you

Agape,

Monette and John

Dear Prayers Partners

Thank you so much for your prayers and your love and your support.

John had an MRI last week and this past Monday, May 30, we received another good report "No growth on the cancer".  The doctor was truly amazed and pleased.  John had been listening and not really looking at him, until he said there was no growth, then he looked up and paid attention.  He was very encouraged by what he said.  We rejoice that there has been no tumor growth in 9 months.

Now we wait for the fulfillment of Joel 2:25-26 over the negative effects of the treatments, the radiation and the chemo, and of course the tumors. So our prayer is complete and total healing and restoration!   Taking back what Satan has stolen including our time talent and money, he really owes us and you! 

So we are looking for that miracle that completes John's total healing. We eagerly await the day that we can proclaim the good news anew and share our testimony of  Johns complete and total restoration and how the Goodness and Majesty of our God is available to all who are in need, whatever the need is.  Don't underestimate our FATHER's love for you!!!  How wide and How deep, unmeasurable!

Thank you for your continued prayer support and encouragement. We could not do this without the Lord and your prayers upholding us.  So many of you have reached out and touched our hearts with your faith, notes, emails, phone calls, visits and gifts. The past almost three years have been filled with times of joy and tears; times of faith and testing,  God always comes through just when we need Him and He has used you over and over. Thank you and God bless you for your love and faithfulness to us and to The Lord!

Prayers needs:

Increased measure of faith and trust

Fruit of the Holy Spirit in us both as we meet people who need the Lord

Tumors eradicated and healthy brain cells in their place

Damage reversed caused by the treatments and medicines

Agape,

Monette and John

,

We are holding on, looking to and trusting Our FATHER!

Romans 8:28 and we Know (not what we know but Who we know, as John would remind you) that all things work together for good to those who love GOD, to those who are the called according to HIS purpose.

For those of you who have said that the LORD has laid it on your hearts to help us financially and wanted to know where to send it, and because I don't always have the info with me and then I forget ,I thought I would just add it here.

Praise Report

​

Dear Prayer Partners,

When we went back to the oncologist after the MRI, the report was "no growth of the tumors detected" !!  What a good, great report!

The doctors are ordering another MRI in about 6 weeks because the MRI equipment is  new, so there is really nothing to compare

the results with, the only other thing that was mentioned was a possible bleed in the brain, but because the equipment is new they are not 

sure if it is new or something that has been there.  So the doctor decided the best idea is to repeat the MRI and blood tests.  John does not have an appointment for the MRI yet but it should be around the 21st of May.

Thank you so much for your continued prayer.  John's conversation ability seems to be improving, he is saying complete thoughts and sentences

even teasing some of the time 😌.  

We are so grateful for your prayers, love and support.

Agape,

Monette and John

Bless the LORD O my soul and all that is within me!  Bless HIS HOLY Name!  Psalm 103:1

Thank you FATHER for your faithfulness.

Dear Prayer Partners,

Thank you so much for your love, prayers and support.  We so appreciate all the prayers, love, and support.  We would not be able to continue this battle without the LORD and HIS love and strength.  Knowing that you are continuing to pray and uphold us  keeps us moving forward and not giving up, thank you so very much!!

John is a miracle, so not only we say but the oncologist said that when we were there the last of January,  He actually said "John I never expected to see you again."   The reason was because around the first week in September or so, the doctors only gave John two weeks to live.  The LORD is not finished with what JOHN has to do here so please continue to pray and uphold him before the LORD.  He is having a pretty rough patch, and is a little down.  The doctors are changing his meds some, so be praying first of all for that total healing!! we are asking for and that the meds will do what they are supposed to do.

The doctors have also scheduled a MRI for the first week or so of March, please be praying for a good report and that John will be calm through all the procedures.

Also since Monday the Aged Care facility where John is, has not allowed any visitors especially the Melba wing where John is because of an outbreak of gastritis, It has not affected John, but there were 6 more cases in that wing yesterday so no one in or out till they get the all clear.  Please be praying for the patients and the doctors and nurses.  The dementia wing is a hard place, even with the patients well, can't imagine how difficult it must be with so many sick.  

Please be praying for me too, I have been fighting an ear infection and I been speaking to it and it surely needs to be healed in JESUS name.  Thank you so much.

We do so appreciate your love care and prayers.

May the LORD bless you and keep you and HIS light shine upon you and through you.

Agape,

Monette and John

​Dear Prayer Partners,

Thank you for your prayers, some amazing things have happened since I last wrote a letter.

John has moved to a new facility, in fact the it is about as new as the last one was old.  He is still in a dementia ward, the care he needs is considered high level care and without being in a hospital setting there is no way that he would have it without being in this ward.  The home is 3.2km (1.9miles) from where I am living so it is so much closer and closer to the children.  It makes it so much easier to visit him.  We are praying that when he is settled in we can take him to his favorite eating place McDonald's, as most of you know, the one he likes about the best is right across the street from the home he is in, in fact you can see it from his window!!

It is very difficult to see him here because there are some things he understands even though he cannot verbalize them.  The place is pretty noisy and loud noises still bother John at times.  Please be praying that the carers have understanding about John, he really does understand at times, what is wrong with him isn't dementia and can't be treated like it.  We are looking for that miracle, it must be right around the corner.

Some of you may have heard I did get my permanent residency!!  So I can stay in Australia as long as I want or need to, and I had already decided where else would you want to live except in the Great Southland of the HOLY SPIRIT.  A Portuguese navigator sailing for Spain discovered the Pacific islands in the very early 1600's and called them the Great Southland of the HOLY SPIRIT which included Australia, New Zealand and the other South Pacific islands.  Sounds to me like he claimed the land for GOD.  America says, In GOD We Trust and Australia says, in the HOLY SPIRIT we live! 

The LORD's provision still amazes me, my son Robert  was here in September ( his employer sent him for work and the LORD sent him for me! at least that is the way I see it} and my sister Janis was here for 10 days and went home last Thursday), she is totally amazing, we were talking and she had some time off so I  just said she could come see me and she sent me an email and said how about next week.  the LORD always knows what you need and the time you need it!! 

John and I have also had visitors from Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Malaysia, Singapore, the LORD certainly does know right where we are and we are so blessed to call so many friends and family, not only for the visits, the support, the notes of encouragement and the prayers sometimes I am so overwhelmed with thankfulness, for I can look and see what the LORD has done and what HE is continuing to do in our lives and the lives of those around us.  Don't ever forget how much HE loves you and me and that HE never, never forgets HIS promises!!

Love to all of you and hugs too

Monette and John
