prayer request from ~EagleNebula~
The prayer request is related to Jess' new job.
The state of SD approved the hospice program of Compassionate Care some time ago. After a recent inspection of the program by someone else, also from the state department that covers this realm , they were told things were NOT in order.
Compassionate Care has 3 nursing homes they do in-patient care under/ through. Before, they were told that was sufficient. Now they are being told that they have to be connected with in-patient care with a hospital.
I am not at all surprised that there has come a road block, as this is a ministry! I know the people working there see this as an opportunity to minister for the Lord. The spiritual enemy therefore sees reason to stop it!
Jess, my 18 yr old just started working for Compassionate Care today! I don't want her and my friends out of work. Greater still, I do not want to see this ministry killed by the enemy.
The 2 hospitals in Sioux Falls, Sioux Valley and Avera-McKennan, have their own hospice programs. Sioux Valley flat out refused to work with Compassionate Care. McKennan is considering it.
There was a meeting this morning with McKennan. There are 2 other people that need to approve Compassionate Care working through them. Please pray that the Lord will open their hearts and minds to approve this. Also pray that the Lord will crush the barriers, chains, and spirits of greed, pride, politics and loose the spirits of cooperation, humility, sharing, compassion for those in need. Pray that any plans that the enemy has to stop or impede the progress and work of Compassionate Care fall to the ground, null, void and powerless, in Christ name.
I believe in the power of prayer. I believe in greater power where 2 or more are gathered and in agreement. For these reasons, I am asking you to stand with me, my daughter, and the workers of Compassionate Care. We have seen many miracles here, and I am praying for more!!! ::smile::
Having just started a new job 2 weeks ago, after being laid off in March....I don't want to see these people or my daughter do through this, either.
Thank you trussell for posting this!
Have a blessed holiday season, all! I will keep you posted. This must be resolved by December 24 or they will be shut down. There are 2 people of import that the Lord needs to touch!
Please post your replies to ~EagleNebula~

Blessings,
trussell

Joining in prayer, thanking Jesus for answers.
:-) COOL! That means that we all have a week's worth of prayer to cover this person with before they come back to work, and deal with a decision. I don't take that as meaning we can put it off, but, rather >>> We have a whole week to cover this person with prayers regarding the decision and the outcome! WOW!!!
Let's do it! :-)
The surveyor who had previously said that their In-Patient care at the Nursing Homes didn't count is now reversing her decision, as she had been made aware of the political controversy between the hospitals. However, they will still need to work out some other issues, and still need the approval to work through McKennan hospital.
God has moved the surveyor! I am trusting Him to move the "powers that be" at the hospital, as well! Thanks for your continued prayers and I will keep the updates coming as I get them!
