Current Prayer Requests



Fervent prayer is a constant, daily, and ever changing need for both Palmer and the Ranch.  Struggling youngsters bring with them a bevy of hurts, disappointments and broken dreams.  Financial challenges abound.  And the way forward is not always clear.  For the latest prayer needs, or to pray specifically for a particular child, please call, email, or write.  We’ll be happy to enlist you as a prayer sponsor for a Palmer or Ranch child or to share with you the most current burdens of our hearts.  Still, some prayer requests are continual and recurring.  Among them are these:
