Tuesday Oct. 10th, Day of Prayer and Fasting

In preparation for Zechariah's coming surgery I wanted to do more than just side by the sidelines and "hope for the best" as we would watch our son go through heart surgery. Then, one evening I asked God what more could be done. The idea for a day of prayer and fasting came to mind. Many of you may have asked if there was anything you could do to help us during this time. Plus, so many of you have told us you would be praying for us. So, OCTOBER 10th, 2006 has been dedicated as A DAY OF PRAYER AND FASTING for ZECHARIAH KINDBERG.

Here are some ways you can focus your prayers this coming Tuesday, October 10th as you are praying & fasting. Thank you for praying.

Prayer Focus: Please pray for...

• Zechariah Allen Kindberg
• Dr. Nilto C. De Oliveira, MD and Dr. James S Tweddell, MD : [The doctors performing the Ross Procedure more about the Ross Procedure: text image]
• The team of nurses and doctors helping during surgery:
• Surgery: begins @ 8am - 1pm'ish' minimum of 5 hours. (possibly longer) prayer for the BEST outcome ever possible
• Recovery time nurses: After care is very crucial for whole and complete recovery
• Quick recovery: [We expected 5-10 days in Milwaukee & 1 month at home]
• Kathy, Scott and their families: [Peace. Laughter, Joy, and Comfort during stressful times]
• Ultimate Healing :[ Psalm 30:2 O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me.]
• That Kathy and I will be able to stay at the Ronald McDonald House [A free housing charity for families with children at the Childrens Hospital of Wisconsin]
• A Helping Hand Residential Cleaning Professionals, LLC (Scott & Kathy's House Cleaning Business)
• More...Keep on praying!!!

Helpful Prayer & Fasting Tips

Prayer

1. Breath Prayers - Useful when working or busy during the day. (Ex. "Thank you for healing Zak., Lord, be with the doctors as they perform the surgery)
2. Prayer Closet - Spend a special time away from the cares of the day with only you and the Lord. Primarily focus your prayers toward Zechariah during this time.
3. Praise & Thanksgiving - The heart of the matter is the matter of the heart
