Hello Beautiful Women of God, Many blessings and thanks to: Margarita, Barbara, Gianna, Sandra, Roz and Cathy God bless you all. I thank God for each one of you and praise Him for being part of this prayer team with such beautiful blessed anointed women. I also thank Ana for having confidence in me to do what I thought was way out of my box. I'm so humbled. What an amazing group of godly women the Lord put together. Trust me, I felt confident in each one of you that your prayers were being heard! Many women let me know that they were happy this prayer group was praying for them. That's what I call highly favored and blessed by the Lord. I thank you for your devotion and dedication to prayer for this retreat and for all the women that you were personally praying for the last 6 months. Thanks for being the watchmen on the walls of the retreat watching by intercession. Know that prayers closes the gate of hell and opens the window of Heaven. Praise God by His grace we did exactly that! May God bless you all abundantly. May His Face always be before you. I plead the Blood of Jesus over each of you that sickness, evil and all ungodly spirits passover you. I love you all! xoxo your sister in Christ, Zelma

God bless you all!!! Most of the ladies involved in the planning of the retreat will begin a 21-day fast starting Friday, August 31. I'd love if you can participate by praying for us for the next 21 days to back us up as we pray and fast for every aspects of the retreat. As most of you know, the enemy hates prayers and fasting and will attempt to hinder....please pray for God's strength and protection. May God continue to protect your prayer time. Roz, my prayer partner, my prayer request is that the Lord would teach me and guide me in all my ways that it would be pleasing and productive for His Kingdom only. Love you all!! Praying for you all!!!

Ladies, please pray for the registration to fill to capacity. There are still many women undecided, women that need to go, and those that maybe have obstacles in the way. Please pray that the Lord would put it in the hearts, pray that they trust in the Lord, and pray for their path to be cleared so they may attend. Lets pray and agree for 40 more women to register to go!

Ladies, please lift up our sister Barbara Korn and her daughter Allison. Pray that the Holy Spirit would hover over them right now as they mourn for Joe Destefano, who left to be with our Lord Jesus, Sunday night. Pray for God's peace and comfort to flood their mind, soul and body. No words can comfort but the Words of the Lord...'My peace I give to you'. Please join us tonight at LEC at 6:30pm so we can assist the Prayer Team with prayers for those that need them.

Hello Beautiful Women of God,
Please continue to lift up the leaders of the women's retreat in prayer. They are having their monthly meeting Saturday. Let's pray all the leaders are led by the Holy Spirit in all conversations. Our God is a God of order..pray for their meeting to be organized, effective, and punctual. Pray that confusion,
division, pride, jealousy, control, and all ungodly feelings and actions be FAR from them. May they continue in sisterly love for one another and may they
esteem each other higher than themselves. May the leaders continue and remain in unity and of one mind and spirit. Pray that they receive guidance, knowledge and wisdom from the Lord only. May any obstacles and challenging topics be surrendered to the Lord believing that He will provide and do the impossible.Pray for a hedge of protection on all that they agree and receive from the Lord... Yes and Amen!
Some ladies, including myself, have registered and by faith are believing God for plans, finances, childcare, health and etc. to be met by Him. So please pray that nothing hinders our faith. Also pray and agree that our Lord Jesus will provide a sponsor for one of the women to attend. Please continue to lift up your assigned group of ladies to the Lord Jesus.
Thank you for your prayers, keep them coming because the Holy Spirit is moving amongst all of us in a powerful way. Praise God!!!! Stay alert on the walls of this retreat. Love you all!!!!

The Speaker Team met last week. As is generally the case, God sends us through the our messages as we prepare to speak. We are tested on the truth God is asking us to share or we are challenged to persevere throughy something that speaks to the message God is asking us to give. Each of the speakers has experienced something very challenging in the last few months. And each of us has seen GOD working in it, teaching us so we can teach from a place of humility, experience, trust. I would encourage you to pray for the activities that will support our messages. We are working on getting permission to use some things, and on putting together the materials that will support the event. This tends to be an exercise in trust, so we are trusting BIG TIME. We have no doubt that the fruit of this time of preparation has been borne of prayer. We are grateful. Kat

Good Morning Ladies,
At this time I am in the mountains of Northern Ga., Jasper, Ga. to be specific. I will be here about two weeks on vacation and God is here and showing Himself so amazingly every day. Today is the first day of being able to be on the computer and I just wanted you to know I'm in prayer for all of you. I know there are many needs for individuals and for VBS and for the Retreat and for surgeries and illnesses and please be encouraged that it pleases our Father when we come to Him in desperation. He is never late, He never sleeps and His ears are always open. Many challenges here in these beautiful mountains as well. I love you all and will see you soon. I can't wait to meet Pastor Matthew and Joy.

Hello Beautiful Women of God,
I just want to encourage you to continue to pray for your assigned leaders and speakers. Please continue to pray for this prayer team, weekly prayer themes and prayer requests. Also, if you can, join me once a week on a fast. Again, its your choice of fast. Let's target our fast on receiving God's anointing thru prayer, praise, fasting and in His Word. Let's be alert watchmen on the wall of the women's retreat. I believe 8 weeks have past and we have 12 more weeks of dedicate daily prayers for the women's retreat. Every step of the way will require prayer...step by step, prayer by prayer. Praise God the last 8 weeks have been a blessing to us all. All the glory to God....Many answered prayers....vision, meeting, bed time retreat website, speakers, worship leader, Cuban mission, message, creativity, protection, unity etc......and many more prayer unfolding.

Hello Women of God,
Happy Memorial Day! I thank God for our troops who died for this wonderful country. I lift up their families. I pray for those who are in active duty and those that have returned. Praise God because I wouldn't be typing this memo or discussing this topic if it weren't for men and women protecting our freedom in our country through out history. I pray for all Christians who are living in countries that memos like these would get them persecuted. I pray of all Christian warriors around the world who everyday put on the full armour of God to battle the kingdom of darkness. May the Lord bless them all!
Please pray that many ladies will register to full capacity in the next few days. Pray that nothing will hinder their decision and plans. Pray that the Lord will cntinue to prepare all their hearts for this retreat. Pray for finances for those that need it. Pray for childcare plans to be fulfilled (I'm one of them). Pray that the Holy Spirit will tug the hearts of women who are still thinking about it. Pray for those who NEED to but are finding excuses why not to go. Pray as the Holy Spirit leads you during the open registration days. Let's keep praying that all things bring glory to our Lord only. God bless you all! xoxo

Good Evening Sisters,
Our Dear Father tonight I bring all these ladies who have been chosen to be speakers for our Fall Retreat to you and ask you to reveal yourself and your will to them. We agree that unity, clarity, vision, love and purpose be shown to them. We want to be the watchmen who are guarding the gates and protecting them from attacks as they prepare. May the thoughts and drafts that they are preparing be free from outside distractions and formed by You. Please give them rest and watch over their families and bring peace and blessing to each one in their household. We love you Father. I pray in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.

No obstacle will stand in our way of putting down the skeleton of the messages that God wants us to share. I would ask that you pray for clarity and creativity to flow through each of us so that our stories will be manifest to bring glory to God through speaking, video and drama. XOXO-Kris

Hello Beautiful Women of God,
Praise God the worship leader has been announced. Her name is Sofia Elena Fondeur. I spoke to her this morning and let her know that our Prayer Team is going to be covering her in prayers. Please include her in your prayers for all the leaders. Pray for a full anointing for the worship team. She is an anointed young woman! She use to sing at ECC so I'm sure many of you know who she is. Margarita is going to be her prayer partner.
Thank you ladies for all your continued prayers. Keep them coming because they're manifesting already! This Tues. after Bible study lets pray as a group again. If you want to write your prayers down and share it, that would be nice. Cathy and Roz, we will be praying for our leaders this Tues. so pray and agree with us.

Please keep this website in prayer, that it will do exactly what it was meant for it to do... If you didn't read the email here is the link http://bedtime-stories-the-retreat.com/
I'm so amazed with all the talents and gifts. I'm so humbled with our anointed Prayer Team. I'm learning alot from you all in many ways. Praise God!

Please continue to pray for the preps of the retreat. Lift up the leaders, speaker and teams. Please fast anything once a week. Fasting and praying for God's anointing, ask Him with praise and thanksgiving. Let Him fill you up so you can pour it out the other days.

Many amazing things happened today at our speakers meeting. First and foremost we decided to wait on the Lord for the heart of the message that would weave through the entire weekend. After three hours of sharing, praying, debating, massaging, laughing, crying with toilet paper tissues and listening we emerged with our precious nut. Please pray as the nut of the message grows. Our drama mama Karen Ross will now take the nut and let God grow the creative parts in her and her team. Please pray for her as she takes lots of little pieces and let's God draw them together. Each speaker left with a homework assignment. Each will be answering three questions about her life with God. We'll keep those confidential so that the retreat will be a fresh experience for each of you. Please pray for her as God asks her to walk thru what we will all walk thru together in September. She also needs to have an outline of her message to Karen by the end of may. This is really hard to do this far out. Finally, she will be writing her bio and her story for the journal. Lots to pray for.

Hello Women of God,
The names of the speakers have been announced! These ladies are going to need lots of prayers since their messages will be the backbone of the ladies retreat. We need to pray for divine protection, wisdom, and clarity. Let's lift them up daily that they hear from the Lord clearly and that their message will be inspired by the Holy Spirit. That the Lord will continue to confirm the message. That no weapon formed against will prosper and anything or anyone that speaks against the message will be stopped. Let's thank the Lord for what He has done already...all for His Glory!! Thank you ladies for your faithfulness and commitment to the Lord. Only He could have put all this together so we may spend more precious time with Him so He can bless us more. What an awesome God we serve!

Kingdom and the salvation of the ones that do not know you well in the fullness
of your amazing love and the greatness of your holy spirit, this time we come in
prayer and suplication for the Speakers that You, Father, appointed for our
Women Retreat. We pray for them to be true channels of your voice, bringing your
alive Word of repentance, consolation, hope, comfort, wisdom, faith. Placing
that Faith in their souls, feeling that they do not have to continue their walk
on their own, that the sacrifice already took place, when Your Son, Jesus
sacrified his own flesh for our sins. Oh, dear Father that our sisters be a

Ladies, we had a great prayer time yesterday. What a blessing it was for me. I love you all and lifting you up in prayer. I recommend reading Becoming a Prayer Warrior, A Guide to Effective and Powerful Prayers by Elizabeth Alves. "I have found no better training manual on prayer" C. Peter Wagner. I've had this book for years and it has taught me how to pray and memorize scriptual prayers. This book has been a great tool for me with this website.
