Prayer Circle

The Power of the Buffalo...

The Power of Prayer

Millions of powerful buffalo once roamed the earth banding together as one. The herds found security and safety in numbers, their gentle nature a reflection of the Great Spirit.

A Prayer Circle is a group of People gathering together in spirit in the power of blessing. Through the unity of prayer they share their powerful intention for transformation and healing.

If you have a friend (human or animal) in need, send us an email through the "Contact Us" tab on the Home page. Please give us their name and what prayers you would like the Nuwati Circle of friends to send. We will add your request to this page. If you keep us updated on their progress we will let others know the power of the prayers your loved one received.

Wado....Rod, Kimberly and Glenn "Springs"

Sara has requested prayer for her family. Her only son was killed while serving in the military, under very difficult circumstances. Besides his mother he leaves behind two children, ages 5 and 6. Prayers of thanks go out to the Warrior lost in battle to protect The People. Wado my Brother! There is no greater price that a Warrior can pay than that of making the ultimate sacrifice so that others may live. It is a loss that no family should have to bear, and we Honor them for their sacrifice as well. No words can make this any easier; the respect that you, your grandchildren, and especially your son receive, pale when compared to the sorrow of his loss. The understanding that you will see him someday does not make up for the grief which you feel here and now. In the Native culture we say, "It is a good day to die", meaning that we live our lives daily, prepared to cross over to the Spirit world. As a Warrior, he lived near death every day. In battle you get very close to Creator, and you make your Peace. Our prayers are with you my sister. May Creator offer you and his children a way to cope until you once again stand with your son where there are no tears and no separation. The People honor you and offer their prayers to you in this most difficult of times. Stand tall, my Sister! You have The People to hold you up until you can once again stand tall.

Hang in there Coop! Prayers are on their way. Update: Incredible News!  It has been 8 months and not only is Cooper up and around, wagging his tail, bright in the eyes and enjoying his days but....he just got back from  Kim and Kathy's wedding in the mountains of Colorado!

Update: We have received an email from Wendy, Marilyn's daughter, and I will let her tell you in her own words: "I had to send an update on my mother Marilyn Drueding currently in your prayer circle. Last week I spent days with my mother on the beaches of Sanibel Florida,breathing the fresh ocean air and absorbing the rays of sunshine while looking for that special shell that washed ashore for us to find and bring us a feeling of excitement and happiness. This was my mother's most treasured memories,and something I have prayed to be able to do one more time with her. We used a beach wheel chair,but we did it. Her cancer is still there but she is fighting hard and starting to win some of the battle. We are so thankful and honored to be in your prayer circle. Please pass this message on.

The following was so beautifully written by Mylinda Dalton we decided to publish it in her own words..."I humbly request you add my sweet friend and her family, Holly and Terry Raver,Jessica and Meaveh Holliday to your prayer circle. They are wonderful folks that are special to many in this world. Neaveh was born at 29 weeks and is home now and doing well.
