Dear Community of Prayer,

Thank you for praying with us daily for God; s Healing and Protecting peace. My wife and I are recovering from the loss of our only son years ago. Despite all the personal hardships we continue to stay at our post in prayer in these dark times of worsening climate change,war, unrest, and economic hardships and other terrible events. . It is one day at a time of living in that holy stillness in our hearts as we labour to enter his eternal rest.

Please keep us in daily prayer for peace now and for the long term. Feel free to pass on to other Communities of Prayer that you know of?

As we stay at our post in prayer we will continue to keep you in our daily prayers.

In His Eternal Rest.
