PRAYER REQUEST

Maybe there would be a market for a dictionary that actually didn't bow to extreme leftist ideology.

I don't do this often, but a good friend of mine is dealing with some serious mental health issues to the point he had to take a medical leave from his employment. He was there for me when I went through some stuff and I want to be there for him.

Your prayers would be a ppreciated.

August 9, 2023
“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:57). 
It is with a heart of gratitude and immense joy that we at El Roi Haiti confirm the safe release of our staff member and friend, Alix Dorsainvil and her child who were held hostage in Port au Prince, Haiti. Today we are praising God for answered prayer!  
We are so thankful for everyone who joined us in prayer and supported us during this crisis. “El Roi” is a Hebrew name of the God of the Bible that means “the God who sees.” It is with that vision that we now rest upon God’s truth that, “In his kindness God called you to share in His eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus.  So after you have suffered a little while, He will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation” (1 Peter 5:10). We praise God that He has proven Himself faithful as He restores, supports, and strengthens Alix and her family, the ministry of El Roi Haiti, and the community that Alix has impacted - and continues to impact - with her ministry in Haiti. 
There is still much to process and to heal from in this situation, so we are asking that no attempts be made to contact Alix or her family at this time.  We will continue to release information as appropriate on our website. Please keep checking back. And again, thanks for all of the prayers and support through this incredibly difficult time. www.elroihaiti.com

Obviously, we should still be praying for all the other people who are getting kidnapped every day over in Haiti as well.

Erdogan says Turkey is ready to help Morocco
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says his country is ready to help Morocco “with all means”.

“First, I wish God’s mercy on our brothers who lost their lives and a speedy recovery to those injured in the strong earthquake that occurred in Morocco,” the president said on the sidelines of the G20 summit in New Delhi.

He added: “In the name of my country and people, I hope all the people of Morocco get better soon. As a country that experienced the disaster of the century only six months ago, we are ready to help our Moroccan brothers with all our means.”

Two quakes hit southern Turkey in February, killing more than 57,000 people there
and over 8,400 in northern Syria. .. ..

.. Mismari put the number of missing at 5,000-6,000.

Earlier on Monday, the head of the Red Crescent aid group in the region had said Derna's death toll was at 150 and expected to hit 250. Reuters could not immediately verify either figure.

Libya is politically divided between east and west and public services have crumbled since a 2011 NATO-backed uprising that prompted years of conflict. The internationally recognised government in Tripoli does not control eastern areas. .. ..
