Dear Prayer Partners,

Thank you for your love, prayers, support and for the notes of encouragement.  It has reminded me that there is more and to continue to seek the LORD for the answers and direction for my life; the LORD knows right where I am and has a plan for the future. I have been in the US and Canada since the end of April, visiting family and friends. Spent time in Washington state with Aaron and Carla and their children and in Calgary with Jonathan and Juanita and their children, even played in the snow at Banff with Jonathan and the family.  Pretty unusual for a Georgia girl to play/walk in the snow in May but it was fun and beautiful.  Also went to Idaho and saw John's mom,  Christena Jacks and his brother David and David's wife Emma,  also saw his cousin Chris and his family. It was and is good to see family and have a few minutes with them.  Hope to visit all of them again soon, it is amazing how the LORD can make family out of complete strangers and bring HIS Love in and through all to each other.  Right now I am in Georgia,  with my daughter Amanda and her husband Chuck and family.  I have been going driving back and forth from her home to my son Robert and his wife Emily and family.  It has been really great to catch up with everyone and to be with Chloe, Amanda's daughter, while she had ACL surgery and began the healing process and physical therapy.  Please be praying for her recovery and her knee to be healed completely.   Really is a new chapter in my life that hasn't been written yet.  The LORD has  shown me that HE has a plan for my life and not to be in a hurry.  Doing what is at hand and just enjoying where I am at and the direction HE is taking me.  I am so grateful to have you for encouragement, your love and your prayers  and you mean so much to me. Please be praying for me to hear the LORD clearly for the next step in my life. for all the things that need to get done on my list to be completed and behind me. To know what to do with our furnishing at my moms and hers furnishings  as we prepare the house to sell and for all the details of getting the house ready to sell to go smoothly. Love, Monette PS  A few things have happened since I started this letter Juanita, Jonathans wife, birth mother in Mexico passed away then about two weeks later her dad, Howard Prosser who lived around Calgary passed away.  Please be praying for the family during this time. Also, John's mom,  Christena Jacks, in Lewiston, Idaho also passed away last week.  Please be praying for the family, especially John's brother David and his wife Emma.  Forward Edit subject Pop out reply To John & Monette Jacks CcBcc Cc Bcc Replies will be sent from jmjacks@gmail.com Loading...

Continued Urgent Prayer

​

Dear Prayer Partners,

Thank you for your prayers, we are still standing in faith that the LORD has and will deliver John of all the attacks of the enemy!!

Friday afternoon he has a horrible attack of pain and as he cannot tell you where the pain is,  all we knew was that it was more than he could handle.

The pain he was and is having is from a 6mm kidney stone, that on Friday night was found to be  traveling down from the kidney.  They are doing another

test today, Monday, to see where it is.  In the meantime all that the doctors can offer is pain relief, and it is taking huge amounts of continued pain meds (mostly

morphine ) just to keep John somewhat comfortable, I am pretty sure if he could tell us, he would say they are not doing a really good job, we do realize the

doctors are trying, but as his face says, even with all the pain meds he is still having moments of intense pain.

Thank you for your continued prayer for John and me.  Having someone you love and is part of you, hurts you almost as much as it hurts them.

Not so sure John would agree, but it is painful, nevertheless.

We thank the LORD for your continued prayers and support,

Love

Monette and John

Should tell you this, when the aged care facility didn't have the answers for the reason why John was in pain, I just said FATHER what is causing

all this pain, and I heard "a kidney stone".  Took some convincing to get the staff at the place to call an ambulance  and get him to the hospital,

 but someone finally listened to me (I am sure they thought I didn't know what I was talking about).  We were not there very long at all before the

pain resurfaced and the doctor in the emergency room did agree, he thought it was a kidney stone, too, and of course it was!!  Our GOD knows all

the answers and the questions. 

Psalm 24:1 The earth is the LORD's and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein.

We belong to HIM and no one is able to snatch us out of HIS hand.  (John 10:29 )

So very Thankful we Belong to HIM!!

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
