‘Jake’ – who is off of the streets in a program, in rehab and clean for 5 days. Please pray that he would stay sober and pursuing his goal of going back to school. And that he would continually desire spiritual growth and rely on God in all of his struggles. ‘K’ and ‘J’ -who just both got out of jail recently and are back to drug-dealing. J wants to go back to school but lacks confidence in his ability to do anything but deal. Both of them believe in God but aren’t following Him.
For all of the recent ‘GO’ teams from RockHarbor – that they would all be impacted by their time in Hollywood and Watts and would be open to what God wants to speak to them.
Frank – he’s struggling to stop coming to Hollywood even though he knows it’s not a good place to be. He’s been smoking meth over the last few days, and doesn’t normally use. Pray that he’d stop before he gets addicted and leave the bad relationship he’s in.
Gary – who is struggling with the loss of a friend and being caught up in drug and gang activity in Hollywood and wants to be around Christians more.
Krista - one of the original Broken Hearts members, as she leaves to teach in Hong Kong for one year.

– we took him to rehab at Set Free in Cabazon this past Friday morning and after 24 hours heard that he was still there. Pray that he would remain committed to the program, and would be encouraged by other believers there. He knows he needs to fully surrender his life back to Christ and wants to get clean and get his life together. In just a few weeks he has become a very special person to several of us. Please pray that this changes his life!
‘Rick’ – that he would continue coming to bible study, reading the bible we gave him (that he asked for) and would come to church with us soon (as he’s asked to do also). There seems to be some major barriers around the issue of homosexuality, so pray that God would be working in that part of his life.
Andre – that he would experience God in a new way that would show him how much better God is than the drugs he’s addicted to. And that he’d be able to find a job and a place to stay. Also, that he’d come back next week as he told us he would
David – That he would be able to overcome his alcoholism and view God as more than just his creator, but would truly have a personal relationship with him that changes his life
‘K’ and ‘J’ – Immediately after this Thursday’s sermon about finding satisfaction in the work that we do with our hands, K immediately stated, with an almost downtrodden tone, that she is very good at dealing. Her tone then lifted as she continued to list all of the other skills she has. She concluded by informing us that she is 9 days away from completing a Medical Assistant course. She already has the next steps of her new career laid out too. Her boyfriend told us just two skills: basketball and dealing. He doesn’t know anything else. K is the mother of two children and it seems that she is taking her life in the right direction now. Please pray for wisdom, perseverance, patience (with each other), and for God’s will to be done in their lives. Pray for defense against the many attacks they already face and will continue to face from the enemy. They have a way out of his trip and he certainly is not happy about that.
For Nick Harmon: our Friday night ministry leader has been having a lot of car issues. Please pray that God would provide an affordable, reliable car for him as he has to drive to and from school, church, and Hollywood weekly.

Daffy: 28 years old, has a 14-year-old son who he hasn’t seen since he’s (Daffy) been locked up. He just got out a few months ago. He has been in prison for most his life and would prefer being locked in then living homeless on the streets. He grew up as a Catholic and believes in God through Jesus but is not “ready” to go to the Refuge because he knows that he will just continue to just leave service doing and thinking bad things. He is claimed to be one of the most dangerous and sought out criminals in the nation. He was raised in Compton. Prayer Requests 04.03.09
For a building in the area (there are a few for lease right now). That God would provide if that is his will, and that funds could be raised and resources provided to run a facility.
