A man just drove up and parked in the parking lot of Prayer Lake. Got out of his truck and very sadly walked to the cross that is in the pasture. He sat on the bench facing the cross. I watched from my kitchen window as he bowed his head as if he were praying. He just looked like he was getting some things straight between he and God. He stood up and slowly walked back to his truck, drove back down the driveway and left. I am so honored and privileged to have been given the assignment of Prayer Lake. A place where people can come and meet with God.
Doing what God said to do.

Red Cabin Info
Janurary 9, 09 Thank you & Important Information
First of all I want to Thank You—Thank You—Thank You-and a Big Thanks to our extended Prayer Lake Family. This is a Praise Report about the Extreme Red Cabin Makeover—-so many of you have responded you just have no idea how that makes me feel. I am an eye witness to the depth of the Love of Christ that yall have shown. I am encouraged and very thankful that there are people like you out there. I know John is rejoicing with me with all the progress that has been made here at Prayer Lake. Many of you know how John really liked to get the job done.
The real blessing every day is that I know the Comforter (The Holy Spirit) just continues to show up and brings us strength. We know where our help comes from it comes from — The Lord. I know the holidays have been very hectic for everyone. I am trying to get focused on 2009—–IT’S HERE—
So I thought I would send an update report on the Red Cabin and how we stand on our scheduled. Know that I love and appreciate each and every one of you. So here are the details of the report.
I have attached our needs and the work schedule. It seems that one of the greatest needs is for individuals who have building experience or can be general labors. The start date is FEBRUARY 9th. Some demolition and clearing will start as soon as next week.
We need volunteers like carpenters, laborers, servers ect.
One of the greatest needs right now is for finances as of this date we have raised about 25% of the projected cost. I know my God is big and He will supply all my need. God spoke to my heart years ago that Prayer Lake was for the Body of Christ and the Body of Christ would build it. It seems now we have to rebuild it. Just agree with us that the total amount we need will come in and in time.
Please send this to your e-mail list and pass on the information. Your help is vital to the success to this project. Please keep us in continual prayer. Pray for physical strength, supplies and finances.
Our precious John is not here with us in the flesh but the awesome seed he planted here called Prayer Lake is flourishing and is fulfilling what God said. All we know to do is to keep going.
Many of you have already sown financial seed, time or prayer into this project and you are highly appreciated! I can not do what I do without you.
With much Love, Joy Mounger

December 24.08 Christmas Eve At Prayer Lake
What a wonderful time of year. Christmas is my favorite. This year has held many changes for me. I have learned many things. I had great faith. I had great disappointment. I had a great loss. I have learned a new level of trust. When you live a life of serving God with all your heart and trouble comes you just have to trust God in a much bigger way. I chose to not question the events of 2008 but rejoice knowing that God has my life in the palm of His hand.
2009 is the year of Harvest. I look forward to the up coming year. My desire is to be used by God to minister to thousands of people. I know that God does things in seasons. I look forward to this next season with joy in my heart.
Merry Christmas
December 15.08 Just Getting Ready
It’s a gray day and I am thinking about a couple that I know that are having a funeral today for their oldest daughter. The couple are dear friends of mine and I have known them for many years. I know there kids their grandkids and now great grand kids. They are faithful leaders, Pastors and friends of thousands of people all over the world. They were with me walked with me prayed with me through the loss of my husband John. They always knew when to call and what to say. They live a life everyday for others.
Today I pray that the God of my Lord Jesus Christ the Father of glory, may give to each family member the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of God. (Eph. 1:17). And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard the hearts and minds of every family member through Christ Jesus. (Phi 4:7)
No one may have the answer of why someone chooses to take their own life. All I know is that in God we can find the peace to go forward.
Today lift this family up, Pray—Pray—Pray for peace through this really bad storm of life.
I pray that JOY comes in the morning.
Love Joy

October 23, 08 A Mighty Move of the Spirit
I was praying this morning and I saw a mighty move of the Spirit over Prayer Lake. Prayers are being answered, marriages healed, and ministers restored. I see the Body of Christ is rising up to take our cities, states and our nation for Christ. There is nothing to hard for Jesus.
Love
Joy
