Please pray for Amanda. She is a young mom who has participated in our programs at Lois' Lodge. Since leaving our program Amanda has married, had a second child and she and her husband (the father of both of her children) have been residing in Jackson Park. They have been making tremendous strides in spiritual and personal growth. They have attended church regularly and both profess to be Christians. Both have been working and they have been very proud that they have saved a significant amount of money. Jamel, who is Amanda's husband was going back to school at Central Piedmont to get his high school diploma and had been dialoging with the Army. He planned to enter the service after he graduated. Last Saturday night Jamel was walking home from the bus stop after work and was killed by a hit and run driver. Needless to say Amanda and everyone that has been close to this young family is traumatized. Please pray that all involved will sense God's presence and experience his peace. Pray that Amanda will continue to make progress in creating a good life for her family.

Dear Amanda,
I cannot express the sorrow I felt when I read about the sudden death of your husband. It's hard to understand what you must be going through, but I know how comforted you must be to know that Jamel is in heaven with his Heavenly Father. What a blessing to know that you both accepted Christ as your personal Savior and in doing so will one day allow you both to be together again in His Kingdom. I pray for you and your children that God will give you the strength and courage to face each new day. May God bless you and give you peace.
Much love, Peggy
