Prayer Requests –

J. T. Redfearn is a 13 year-old member of Bethel Missionary Baptist Church in Ashdown, Arkansas. His parents, Bobby and T. J. Walraven, are also members of Bethel. Prior to February of this year (2009), he was a healthy, active young person, enjoying his first years in junior high school and playing football for his school. Then, in February, he was diagnosed with leukemia, ultimately it was discovered that he had two different types of the disease. J. T. has battled this illness for eight months now, spending much of that time in Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Little Rock. He was scheduled to go to Seattle, Washington in September of this year for a bone marrow transplant. However, another complication arose. Apparently, due to the many chemotherapy treatments he had received along with a weaker immune system, J. T. developed a growth in his nose which the doctors described as a fungus. Since early September he has had five or six surgeries to scrape the inside of his nose as well as an almost continuous treatment with antibiotics and continued chemotherapy. I was informed last night by his father that J. T. is going through two to three units of blood platelets a day. Due to this, the family is in need of platelet donors. According to J. T.’s dad, platelets must be given in Little Rock and designated for J. T. Redfearn. The platelets that are given will be held for 24 hours and will then be available to be given to J. T. He stated that platelets are good for about five days, so he is attempting to find seven people a week who will donate platelets for J. T. If members of any of our ABA churches in the Little Rock area would like to give platelets to help this young man, they can call the Red Cross toll free at 1-866-659-2366 to schedule an appointment. Please be sure to tell them that the platelets are for J. T. (James) Redfearn. Also, and of course, we ask all who read this to be in prayer for J. T. and his family as they endure this ordeal.

Miscellaneous Requests –

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

The Lord has been richly blessing our mission work in Minnesota. In the past few months, a special outreach was held, with 47 in attendance and one salvation! In the past several weeks, there has been one other salvation, and two baptisms held.

A building has been located that would give the mission work a permanent home. It will seat 100 people, has pews included, a fellowship hall as well as Sunday School rooms. An interesting fact is that this building is located on the National Register of Historic Places, having been built in 1860.

While it is obviously an old structure and needs some remodeling, it is in excellent condition. Located just one mile from a major interstate, and in an area that has no scriptural church for many, many miles, we feel led by the Lord to pursue this opportunity.

In order to purchase the building and property and make the needed repairs, we need to raise $70,000 as soon as possible. In this economic climate, financing is simply not an option. We prayerfully ask for you to help us! Any amount is greatly appreciated!

We ask that you send your offerings directly to Maranatha Baptist Mission P.O. Box 355, Becker, MN 55308

As a reminder, our mission work is one of just two (the other being in Wadena, MN- a couple of hours away) ABA works in the entire state.

In Christ,

Scott Barker
