Dear FGGAM Family let us be in constant prayer…………
From Grace Cordova in Albuquerque……………….
Dewey,
If you can please send an urgent prayer request for one of my husband’s colleagues, Randall Anderson, of Van Buren Middle School.
Turns out Mr. Anderson urgently needs a heart transplant due to an undiagnosed infection from last year. Mr. Anderson has been on medical leave since last year, and as of this morning, his condition is not improving. Mr. Anderson has been air lifted to Utah and his wife is by his side, though she is running low on funds and is having a hard time paying for a motel near the hospital.
Mrs. Anderson sent word to his colleagues at Van Buren M.S. that Mr. Anderson remains dedicated to his students and colleagues and thinks of them and his students often and wonders what they’re all up to. She also mentioned that the school has been and continues to be a source of strength and hope for both she and Randall as they are going through this daunting journey.
Mrs. Anderson has been by her husband’s side as she is his only source of encouragement and strength. They have no children and no extended family. The nice folks at Van Buren are taking donations to support Mrs. Anderson and ensure she can remain near her husband during this difficult time.
Prayers for both Randall Anderson and his devoted wife are so dearly needed right now. And if anyone has the ability to make a donation, please have them either email or private message me and I will connect them with the correct administrative folks at Van Buren so they can do so.
Dewey, it’s moments like this when I must kneel in gratitude for the many blessings we have! God bless these lovely people. And may He restore Mr. Anderson’s health and grant this couple many more years of bliss! With God, all things are possible!!
In Jesus’ name!
Thank you!
Grace
We also have this request from Ryan Day in Albuquerque to pray for his brother Austin Day and Janet Cairo. They were involved in a very serious car accident in Austin, Texas. Both Austin and Janet were seriously injured.
Let us be in constant prayer for Mr. and Mrs. Anderson and Austin and Janet.

Join us this Saturday September 12,U 2015
Pastor Richard Mansfield, New Beginnings Church to speak at memorial site as part of National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children, Saturday, September 12
Albuquerque, NM– Rio Rancho will be the site of a memorial service for unborn victims of abortion on Saturday, September 12. The sponsors of this local event are Surrendered Hearts New Mexico, Albuquerque Right to Life, The HUB of New Mexico Internet Radio Station, For God’s Glory Alone Ministries, Pro-Life Witnessand Protest ABQ. The service, part of the National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children, will take place from 12:00-1:00 p.m. at St. John Vianney Church, 1001 Meteor Ave, Rio Rancho, New Mexico 87144.
This event comes in the wake of series of undercover videos showing top officials at Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion chain, scheming to sell by body parts of aborted babies for profit.
“When Planned Parenthood looks at the broken body of an aborted baby, they see a commodity they can exploit for profit. But we see a tiny brother or sister who deserves to be mourned for and solemnly buried,” said Bud Shaver, Executive Director, Protest ABQ, one of the organizers of the Day of Remembrance in Albuquerque. “Visiting the places where these children are memorialized cuts through all the rhetoric surrounding abortion. We will never know these unnamed victims of abortion, but we will never forget them—or stop fighting to restore legal protection to unborn children”
The Day of Remembrance is being organized by three national pro-life groups— Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, Priests for Life and the Pro-Life Action League—to humanize the unborn victims of abortion by raising awareness of their burial places and other sites dedicated to their memory. The bodies of tens of thousands of aborted children have been retrieved from trash bins, landfills and other locations and buried at gravesites across the country.
At AbortionMemorials.com, visitors can learn the stories of how many of these children were killed, how they were found, and the details of their burial. The website also lists hundreds of memorial sites dedicated to the victims of abortion throughout the United States.
All are welcome to attend this event and families are encouraged to attend with their children. Please also feel free to bring flowers to lay at the memorial site at St John Vianney Church.

How do you want to be remembered? By Pastor Leonard Navarre
It is my prayer for these next few moments together that we will be encouraged yet more importantly challenged to live more faithfully for our Lord Jesus Christ.
Do you remember the first murder in the Bible? Yep, Cain killed his brother Abel. Even though thousands of years have gone by, Abel still speaks. In Hebrews 11:4 it says, “and by faith he (Abel) still speaks even though he is dead.” It is remarkable that this obscure shepherd has left such a lasting legacy, even for us today.
Have you ever though about YOUR legacy. How will you be remembered? Just like Abel all of us will leave a legacy. No matter how poor or isolated we think we are, when we die someone will remember. How will you be remembered?
The inventor of dynamite was shocked to read his own obituary while he was STILL alive. This happened in 1888 and he really didn’t die until 1896. It was the inventor’s brother that died and the inventor of dynamite obituary appeared by mistake. But this journalistic mistake left a profound impression on the inventor. He was shocked to realize that he was going to be remembered as the “Dynamite King”. His discoveries in the field of explosives had revolutionized warfare and greatly enhanced man’s ability to kill and destroy. The inventor was stunned to think people would remember him that way. That’s not the way he saw himself or how he wanted to be remembered. So, it is at this point that the inventor decided to rewrite his legacy by rewriting his will. He stipulated that his vast fortune was to provide endowments for those who had made the world a BETTER PLACE to live. These prizes were to be awarded in five different categories, physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and peace. A sixth was added later, economics. This rewriting worked. We know these endowments as “Nobel Prizes”. For you see, the inventor, known as the Dynamite King was Alfred Nobel. These nobel prizes eclipse his legacy as the Dynamite King.
How do you want to be remembered? Robert Burns, the Scottish poet, one wrote, “oh would some gift the Giver give us, to see ourselves as others see us. It would from many a blunder save us and many a foolish notion”.
Even more important than how others see us, however, is the need for each of us to see ourselves as God sees us.
Someday unless the Lord Jesus returns we too will die many without any warning at all. Friends and neighbors will stand in line to pay their final respects. Our earthly body will return to dust and our spirit will return to God who gave it. After the funeral our survivors will go through our things. It is sad, but true, but some of those things that we treasured will be taken to the dump or given to charity. Other “things” we had will be parceled out to family and friends. We will be gone but not totally forgotten. Every time someone comes across something we had our legacy will instantly come to mind.
We often hear it this way: “I bought this car from the guy who killed himself”, “that house once belonged to the banker who stole all that money”, “I got this painting from the town drunk”. This may not be fair, but that is still the way it is. So how do you want to be remembered? Right now each of us is writing our legacy. We living as those who remain will remember us. Look at those in the Bible, Mary, Jesus once cast seven demons out of her. Hey, look, at Simon of Cyrene, he was the one who carried Jesus’ cross. This Paul, the one who persecuted the church, he was transformed and became an inspired apostle who wrote more letters in the Bible than any other man. Get the picture.
We will be remember. It is not to late to really start living a life that leaves a tremendous legacy of love, hope and peace. What will they write on your headstone on your grave? How will you be remembered. Abel has been gone for thousands of years…but his legacy of faith lives on.
So I am asking you, “how do you want to be remembered”.
