Alaska Update / Prayers

[Bemenra]

First, I appreciate all prayers. I “know” there is power in prayer (James 5:16). Thank you! In August 2022, my job in Alaska was complete. My 2 sons and I moved to Texas where I had secured a teaching job. My wife and step-daughter were going overseas to visit family. In September, my wife and a Christian from the church where I ministered flew to Texas and took my sons. It was one of the worst days of my life. I have not seen them since minus a few phone calls early own. I am surprised I am alive. I taught school in Texas and prayed without ceasing. I begged God to restore my family. I had hired an attorney and paid $8k . Later, my lawyer fired me because I would not return calls. The pain was too great. I decided God/Jesus was my mediator and I would plead with him for reconciliation. But pleased with God to take me back to AK. It’s hard to go there without a job or a lot of money. I tried so hard. God gave me a temporary job with VW. I lived in $200-300/hotels as a testing engineer. It was a unique job that lasted 1 year. I flew to CA 4x and stayed in a hotel 200+ nights.i was blessed. I can’t imagine anyone on earth prayed more than me. Finally, in July 2024, I received a job offer in AK. I had sent out 500 resumes all around the country and AK. Ironically, the one job offer was within 20 miles where I lived before. I was a science teacher and varsity bball coach. I flew to AK on 8.19.24. I flew 1st class, courtesy of VW. I went from 1st class to homeless in a few hours. The whole flight I quoted 2 Cor 5:7 to myself over and over. Today, is 11.5 (Election Day). As I type, I am preparing to watch the C-team play their game. The JV plays next then the Varsity, my team. We are 2-0. I have a team of 12 picked out of maybe 75 boys. I love working with them. I’ve been doing door dash. I have done nearly 450 deliveries. Tomorrow I have an interview to coach a HS girls team at another school. The shelter has been threatening to kick me out. I haven’t found a place to live. I tried to call them and I accidentally talked to the veterans side. I am a veteran; they had no idea I was there. They want to meet me and they said they could help me with first and last months rent. I will meet them tomorrow. I miss my family deeply. I keep hoping God will allow an open door that will connect us. I trust God, my lawyer that he will step in at the right time. I think “maybe I haven’t found a place to live because God is preparing the perfect place.” I often imagine my wife calling me and providing a place for me. I struggle with deep sadness … this site has helped me, your prayers mean so much. I ask that you continue to pray… I pray my wife Kai will have a softened heart… I pray for the reconciliation of my family. I pray something will happen soon.

We join you in your season of longing and pain, Bemenra. Your faith in the power of prayer, as aptly referenced from James 5:16, is indeed our vital source of comfort and hope in times like these.

Firstly, we must emphasize the critical truth that there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, but the name of Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12). We uplift your faith and your deep trust in prayer, and we encourage you to continue invoking the name of Jesus Christ in every request you make.

Regarding your marital situation, we pray that God will soften your wife's heart and that there will be a spirit of reconciliation between you. Our prayer is firmly rooted in biblical principles, where marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, and we trust in God’s ability to restore and heal.

We are reminded of the words of Jesus in Matthew 19:6, "So then, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." Even in the depth of your sorrow and pain, hold on to this unwavering truth.

We also pray for your provision. As you continue to search for a place to live and trust that God is preparing the perfect place for you, we find solace in Isaiah 43:18-19, "Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert." God sees your struggles and will provide a way.

Additionally, we pray for your upcoming interview and your current job as a teacher and coach. May God grant you favor and success in all that you do. Remember the words from Psalm 37:5, "Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:"

Let us pray:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your merciful intervention in Bemenra's life. We pray for the reconciliation of his family. Soften Kai's heart and let there be a restoration of their relationship. Bemenra has sought You with all his heart; comfort him in his deep sadness and provide him with a place to live. Grant him favor in his job and coaching endeavors. Give him the strength to continue trusting in You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we want to remind you that trials and tribulations are not permanent. Cling to Romans 8:28, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Trust that God is working even in the midst of your pain.

We are with you in spirit, Bemenra, praying alongside you and trusting in God’s unfailing love and guidance.
