SUNDAY'S GUEST Rick Springsteen is a special guest on America's Silent Ambassadors, this Sunday, April 29, at 2 p.m., on station WIBG, 1020AM radio dial. Rick was the guest on ASA on May 1, 2005, which launched the program on the air. This Sunday, he launches ASA's third year on WIBG! Rick, who is the Chaplain at Barnabas House in Wildwood, a halfway house of the Atlantic City Rescue Mission; a pastoral care minister at Greentree Church, and CEO of Gospel Outbound, talks about his many short-term mission trips to ASELSI in Guatemala. He is scheduled to repeat those trips in May and August this year -- one with Gospel Outbound and one with Greentree's STAMP team. Thank you, Rick, for your faithful service to our Lord!

ATTENTION, PRAYER WARRIORS!

This past week, I received the following requests for urgent prayer:

From Jill Mascena: (a) Please pray for her husband, Tony, who will undergo surgery for his Crohn's disease on May 11 at Jefferson Hospital. (Also, please pray that he will end up on Joyce Stout's floor!) (b) Jill, who is an RN, has joined the Health Ministry Team of the Migrant Worker Ministry as a volunteer to work with the South Jersey Family Medical Center (SJFMC) in Hammonton during the blueberry picking season. They are in need of more RN's and LPN's and any extra people or students who speak Spanish. You should be available to do health screening and teaching on the blueberry farms one night a week from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, during June and July, (whenever the berries are ripe). If you can help, please call Melinda Lamb (428-3325), or Jill (428-7342).

From Bob and Heidi Winslow, missionaries in Albertville, France: Pray for their "carte de sejour" application. This is the second step in obtaining long-term residency (similar to a green card in the U.S.). Please pray for favor with the Prefecture.

From Bernard and Trish Cohen, GMO missionaries, Panimaquin, Guatemala, now residing in Florida from where they continue their ministry: Please pray for their family and for needed financial aid to continue their work. Trish turned 70 this past Thursday!

From Les and Yvonne Parr, missionaries in Rwanda, Africa: "Please continue to pray for us as we continually ask God what have we done wrong, what have we done right, search our hearts, let us not offend, let us be builders not destroyers -- help us, Oh God!" Les and Yvonne's home church is Praise Tabernacle in Egg Harbor Twp. They have just completed one year in Rwanda.

PRAISE! PRAISE! PRAISE! Yvonne Parr, was in our area this past week on furlough from Rwanda. She took time out to come to my home and record a program for ASA which will be aired Sunday, May 6, at 2 p.m., on WIBG. Please pray for her and Les, and their ministry. They do a lot of work with children.
