Anoniem 1:  Vir my broer – hy le op die oomblik in ICU Pretoria.  Gaan nie goed nie.  Bloedklont in die hart – n baie erge virus in sy longe.
Hy kann nie meer self asemhaal nie – is op long masjiene.  Aangesien hy n diabeet is, is dit moeilik om hom te monitor met al die medikasie
Wat hy nodig het.  Ons glodat hy heeltemal gesond gaan word  – en vra dat julle almal vir hom sal bid asseblief. God is Great.
 

Anoniem 2:  My vriendin se man is 2 jaar gelede aan kanker oorlede.  Intussen het sy borskanker gekry – albei borste verloor.. Sy is deur chemo – bestraling
En alles wat daarmee gepaard gaan.  Maar verlede week het ons gehoor die kanker is terug in die longe.  Dokters baie bekommerd – n gewone
Kankertelling is tussen 1 – 39.  Haar kankertelling is nou by 70 – kann julle asseblief vir haar bid.  Sy will nie meer chemo of bestraling neem nie,
sy sein nie meer kans nie.  Kann ons almal saam bid dat sy hierdeur kann kom.  Niks is ontmoontlik by God nie.

Anoniem 3: 
Ek het 'n vriend van Indië wat gebed nodig het. Sy famile dreig om selfmoord te pleeg as hy nie sy geloof in Jesus opgee nie, selfs hom probeer dwing om met 'n hindu meisie te trou war hy nie ken nie soos hulle tradisies daar. 'n Tydjie terug het God dit aan hom geopenbaar dat Hy hom wil gebruik vir sendingwerk. Die duiwel is baie lastig en val hom finansieël aan en deur sy familie. Kan ek asseblief vra dat almal vir Vijay sal bid en dat God hom sal lei en deure vir hom oopmaak.
Hier is 'n baie kort weergawe meer oor sy journey met God
"Hello my name is VJ. I was born into a Hindu family in the southern part of India and I lived there for first 20 years of my life. Growing up - I had friends from different faiths – Hinduism, Islam and Christianity.  I was not sure which God I should pray to.  So at age 7, I was an agnostic and decided to make my prayers to the “unknown God” without mentioning the name of any particular god. My whole being was desperate to know the identity of this unknown God.  Years passed by. It was at age 12 - I was watching a movie about the life of Jesus on the Television over a period of 3 months.  When I met Jesus I felt I was listening to a man whom I knew from before my birth. Not only did my eyes see His glory but He also revealed everything that was inside my heart. I can say with certainty that those were the few months during which God revealed himself to me through His son Jesus Christ. I believed everything that Jesus said. Jesus was the first name that I ever prayed to. The following years were filled with visions of me hugging Jesus whenever my heart was in despair.
Life was good – I had the most loving parents, every financial blessing that I could ask for and I was one of the best students at my school.  But Life took a big turn - a series of events at age 19 left me in a state of depression. Life was upside down – I was the worst student of my university, I was not a good child to my parents and I was wasting my life. I battled with depression for 2 years before turning to God’s word. God not only rescued me from it but also redeemed it. I began going to a church and I was soon baptised. Academically I had the worst credentials – yet God out of his grace helped me do my graduate degree in England and then He surprised me again by making me a PhD student in Canada.
I was 26 by the time I moved to Canada. God has been building up my love for Him in a very radical way. But I had no idea why he was doing that. My life was soon to be hit by a storm. The people who loved me the most, called me one day and asked me to depart from the ways that God has set before me. But I refused to do so. Then they called me up again. This time I was given two options – To depart from the ways and instructions of Jesus or to watch them die. I couldn’t say No to Jesus. I couldn’t watch the people whom I loved the most lose their life because of my decision to follow the ways of my Lord.  The pain crippled my heart. If I choose the ways of Jesus, I would lose everything precious in this world – my family, my friends, financial security that would keep me secure for the rest of my life and the past 27 years of my life.  If I reject the ways of Jesus, I would lose my very soul. But I was too weak to make a decision. So I surrendered myself to Jesus and cried out for His help.  God through His word spoke to me and asked me to choose His ways. I did. How I did ? – Only through the strength that God gave me. He took my heart for Himself and He knocked down every idol that was in my heart – especially the idol of loving my own family more than loving God. It is painful but nothing in comparison to the glory that is to come. So I have left everything behind me including my PhD and I am looking forward to serve in full time ministry. My very life is at risk because of Apostasy. Phil 1:21 "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain" became a reality in my life. It became a reality not because I implemented it, but because God in his divine wisdom chose to take my heart for himself. 
1 peter 4 says "But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.  If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you."   - what else can I ask for ?
I have done so little for Jesus and done so many things against Jesus. Yet He never let me go. A life with Jesus and for Jesus – is a life worthy of Living.  And that too is possible only because of His Grace. To God be the Glory."
