Please pray for my son Tim who is

[Snowpeach]

Please pray for my son Tim who is incarcerated for the last 5 years (of a 10 year sentence for a non violent crime) in Osaka Japan. He is the 44 year old father of 3 children in Canada who need him. He has an enlarged heart (from surgery when he was 21) and has been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease though they will not treat a "criminal" in Japanese prisons. The rules there are in the hundreds, and guards can punish you if you look at them, wipe sweat from your brow, speak to other prisoners when at work (6 days) in the factory. Tim has lost 55 of his 165lbs since being there so is painfully skinny and can only eat rice because the other food is too salty for his kidney condition. He also suffers every winter from frost bite to his hands and feet because the prison is not heated and they give no extra clothing or blankets in winter. The summers are dreadfully hot.
PLEASE will you pray for this miracle for him. That he will feel, (every winter he is there) that the Lord is hugging him in bed as he sleeps, that his spine, hands and feet are warm, that the food will be filling and give him all the nutrition he needs.
Tim has come to the Lord there in prison and though he longs to come home to Canada accepts that he can and must wait on the Lord's timing. There is an international agreement which he applied for, that if both countries agreed he could come home to finish his sentence. He applied almost 2 years ago and our country is the one that has said no to this point. I of course, as his mom have found this whole experience to be very difficult but again, the Lord is working on me to trust Him to, so God does take the apparent bad and turn it to good for those of us who are called according to His purposes... Thank you
Ellie

Our God of peace, you have taught us that in returning and rest we shall be saved, in quietness and in confidence shall be our strength: By the might of your Spirit answer this request according to your will, we pray of you, so we may be still and know that you are God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.

i hope you can see my praise report...Tim is coming home, thank you for your prayers...and never give up on your children..God is willing.
Also please continue to pray that he will truly become God's man and find his place as a true child of God, and also as a father to his children in Canada. He will be put into prison here, assessed and at some point be allowed out on probation. But he is 45 and has no profession or trade so asking for God's direction to be very clear to him. His younger brother who had struggled with porn for years and has a very harsh wife (Yen is her name) now claim Christainity but have been waylaid by the enemy yet again, they have 4 girls and are expection a boy (Issac) in August..praying for them as with so many who think they are saved, that the truth really set them free, that Christ will be their answer, not fear, not conspiracies...That the enemy will be defeated in all our children's minds and lives. Love you dear ones who are prayer warriors..the battle belongs to the Lord but you are His own force.
