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!

Also, I forgot to apologize for my previous post about the couple whose work was shut down by the state. I left out that prayers were going up so that the Lord would work in your situation. Sorry if I sounded discouraging, it was not my intention, that past situation just came to mind, a case of open mouth (or keyboard) and insert foot.

You'll continue to be in my prayers! All the best to you! :)

"She actually listened and heard!" Now, that's a miracle if there ever was one.

Continuing prayers

UPDATE PING

I believe we are okay with the state. There is some confusion about the in-patient contract yet because I have heard that they accepted our contracts with the nursing facilities but that they want us to continue to pursue with the hospitals. So far no hospital has agreed. We are working with McKennan yet and apparently the CEO of Sioux Valley is looking into why they refused.

Still in need of prayer! Thanks much!

the above was from an email from my friend Jill! Jess is being blessed in her position with Compassionate Care, and so are the people she works with and cares for.
