Heavenly Father I lift up
Jo
Jo Cline to you in prayer. He was in a car accident this past Wednesday, his
father George was killed. His father was a coach and a teacher. Jo Jo is only around six
years old and he lays in a coma in a hospital. They had been at Church at the time of the
accident, they pulled out of the Calvary Baptist Church parking lot and an eighteen
wheeler coal truck hit them. George died at the scene of the accident. As a result of the
accident Jo Jo has both legs broken, his jaw is broke and he has swelling of the brain.
Lord I ask that you wrap this precious child in your arms of love. I ask that you cover
him with your healing power from above. I ask that you remove any pain or discomfort that
he may be in. I ask that you give the doctors and medical staff wisdom as they care for Jo
Jo. I come before your Heavenly Throne on behalf of this precious little boy and I ask
that you heal him completely from all injuries. I ask that you give comfort to him when he
hears the news of his father. I ask that you give him wisdom to know that George is in
Heaven and that he will see him again one day. I ask that you keep the
memories of his father forever fresh in his little mind. I pray that he will grow up to
serve you Lord. I ask that you give comfort to family and friends and draw each one close
to you. I ask that Jo Jo be a testimony to doctors, medical staff, family, friends and
strangers of your healing power and of the power of prayer. I ask for complete healing. I
ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Update 4/9
Thank you so much for your prayers and concern. Mr. George Cline Jr. was a
dear friend to many of us and I worked with him 8 years at Iaeger High School. His
son Jo Jo is still in need of many prayers. His condition has not worsened but it
has not improved a great deal either. If you could for a second imagine a little boy
that always had a smile for all and the sweetness of an angel :) that may begin to
describe this child. Please continue to pray for Jo Jo and his family. As for my
dear friend George, he loved the Lord and lived it every day and night of his life.
He is sadly missed but has received his just reward in the arms of God :). Take
care, Sherry and Kerri
Update 4/14/01
George Cline Jr. wife's name is Melony and he has a beautiful daughter from a
previous marriage, Tiffany who will graduate from the high school this year where he
taught and coached. You are precious for keeping this prayer vigil. Rest assured that
his wife Melony, Tiffany, Mom, Dad and Sister are all good Christian people and thankful
for all prayers. George was physically handicapped and overcame many surgeries and adverse
conditions in his life. He taught and coached several sports and had a masters
degree in education. He lifted many people up in the name of God. Please keep those
prayers going for Jo Jo. He is still fighting to recover, his condition has not
improved a great deal. Jo Jo did undergo another surgery a week or so ago and I haven't
had an update this week. I will let you know as I can. Thank you so much.
Update 5/14
Hi, Sorry for all the delay, but good news about JoJo : ) He is talking some now
and actually took a few steps. He is in a rehabilitation hospital and still needs prayer.
Thank you to everyone. Sherry
Update 7/22/01
The last I heard, JoJo was doing fine. Gracie (grandmother) had him out
visiting with friends and relatives. He seems to be responding and physically doing
well. When I hear more I'll let you know. If I forget, just send a note to remind me.
Kerri Praise The Lord! Please continue in prayer for JoJo.
In Christ Love Charlotte

Hi Charlotte,
I haven't heard anything about Jo Jo in a long time. However, I did see
him on one of my visits back home, but didn't get to speak with him or
his family. He appears to be doing good. I often think of him and his
father also and I think it is so kind that you continue to pray for him.
His father was a dear friend of mine and sadly missed but I know his
soul is at rest with the Lord. He lived in God's light and I can only
hope
that someday I can do the same. Keep us in your prayers.
Respectfully, Sherry

They know he had a heart
attack, but there is no damage, they can't find anything that proves he had one. He is
doing better now. I praise God for that. He is still on medication and his condition
remains stable. I know that God had a hand in that. I told Tom so, too. Let
him think on that for a while. Love, Pat

Heavenly Father I lift up Vera
to you in prayer. She had surgery last year on one of her legs, the doctor placed a
plastic vein in it. She was in the hospital for a long time. The surgery took place around
August of last year and recovery has been very slow. She is walking very slowly with the
help of a walker, but has to be very careful. Last week during a routine physical, she
found out that she has breast cancer. Surgery has been scheduled for April 4th. Vera is in
her late sixties and has a wonderful disposition. She very calmly told her neighbors about
the cancer and acts as if it is just routine stuff and has faith that you will take care
of her Lord. People from her church have been very helpful, taking her to the doctors,
buying groceries, picking up medications, etc. Her daughter, two sons and their families
live in town and are always there for her as well. Vera's oldest son Michael has Hepatitis
C and is on chemotherapy, which keeps him feeling poorly most of the time. Lord I ask that
you wrap Vera in your arms of love. I ask that you draw her close to you. I ask that you
remove any pain or discomfort that she may be having. I ask that you heal her completely
of breast cancer. If healing is to come through the hands of a surgeon I ask that you
guide his hands and bring her through safely, completely healed with no complications.
Whatever method of treatment is to be done for Vera I ask that she be healed completely. I
ask that you heal her leg and give strength to her body so much so that she will be able
to walk without using a walker. I ask that you give comfort to her family during this
difficult time and draw each one close to you. I ask that you give strength to Vera's son
Michael and heal him completely from Hepatitis C. I ask that you remove any pain or
discomfort that he may be having. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Update 12/7/02
My friend Vera has moved into an assisted living complex. She survived
breast cancer surgery but still having problem with her legs. Can still
drive herself most anywhere she wants to, but must walk with the help of
a walker or cane. She is very thin but looks really good. She sold her
home to her youngest son, Michael. Michael and his wife are living in
the home and are doing well. Vera continues in my prayers. Thank you,
Charlotte, for all your prayers. I know Vera is very appreciative, as
is her family, for all the prayers. I will try to keep you updated when
I can.
Love, Hilda
Update 5/15/03
Vera placed herself in an assisted living home and is
happy there. Her health continues to fail but I don't know the
details. Her son, Michael, and his wife bought the family home from Vera
when she moved and he never tells us more than she's okay, but her
health keeps going down. Hope all is well with you! Love, Hilda

Lisa is in such horrible pain and her daughter tells me she looks just
awful. They are giving her a different type of chemo, she has to go every so many weeks to
San Francisco for the treatments. She lives in Reno and I believe the drive isn't
pleasant for her. I keep praying and looking for a miracle and I have tried to prepare her
daughter, Jennifer, should the inevitable happen. She and I are not of the same faith but
I have sent her some pamphlets I picked up at our church that are helpful when you find
yourself in a situation such as she is in at this time. Please keep Lisa in your
prayers. Love, Hilda
Update
6/14
Lisa's daughter tells me
that right now she's doing a little better. The daughter is very concerned because Lisa
and her husband Larry are drifting away from the Lord, every time she feels better by
running off to the casinos to gamble. They reason that God's not healing her so they
may as well enjoy what time is left. Lisa's daughter is a good Christian woman and is very
concerned for her mother's spiritual life. Please continue to pray Lisa. Love, Hilda
Update
12/7/02
Lisa passed
away this year. The cancer finally took over. Her daughter Jennifer
has not contacted me since the death of her mother. I still write to
her but never get any responses. Her marriage dissolved prior to her
Mom's death. I continue to pray for her and the family and am trusting
the Lord. He knows what's best. Love, Hilda
Update

Hi Sweetie!, here is an update on Lisa as you requested. Lisa died and
I stopped hearing from the daughter, Jennifer Coleman, about a year ago.

Heavenly Father I lift up Denise
to you in prayer. She has what was originally skin cancer. She had a mole on her head
removed fourteen years ago. The cancer is accelerated by female hormones, so they were
told to wait for a period of ten years before having another child. They had passed the
ten years suggested waiting period and decided it was time to have another baby as Denise
would be thirty-eight years old. Denise conceived and gave birth to a daughter and named
her Grace. Now it has been found that cancer has invaded Denise's lungs, kidneys, liver
and brain, she has been diagnosed terminal and has only a few weeks to live. Grace was
tested to make sure that she was free of cancer and she tested negative, no cancer found
in or on her little body. Thank you Lord! The doctors have started chemotherapy treatment
on Denise's brain in hopes of helping to keep her from loosing her eye sight, hearing etc.
Denise also has another daughter who is around the age of six or seven, her name is Emily.
The families of both Denise and Mark are there to help out as well as long time friends of
the family. Lord my heart aches for this family, the joy of giving birth to a daughter and
then the heartache of being told that cancer has been found followed by the news that she
has been given only a few weeks to live has to be devastating. Lord I ask that you wrap
Denise in your arms of love. I ask that you draw her close to you. I ask that you remove
any pain or discomfort that she may be having. I ask that you remove any fear and replace
it with calmness and peace. I ask that you give comfort to Mark, their daughter Emily, and
their friends and family and draw each one close to you. I ask that you give them strength
to get through this painful time in their lives. I thank you that Grace came safely
into the world healthy and cancer free. I ask that you wrap Grace and Emily in your arms
of love and keep them from the illness of cancer. Lord I come before your Heavenly Throne
on behalf of Denise and ask for a miracle. I ask that you remove all cancer from her body
just as you removed the bleeding problem from the lady who bled for many years and used
all of her money seeking doctors to help her. She is your hands Lord for all that can be
done here on earth for her has been done. I pray Lord that Denise will be a testimony to
the doctors, medical staff, family, friends, and strangers of your healing power and of
the power of prayer. I pray that one day she will be telling her daughters of her healing.
I ask for complete healing. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Heavenly Father I lift up Kim
to you in prayer. She has problems with her gallbladder and she was just diagnosed with a

that she may be having and replace it with calmness and peace. I ask that you remove any
pain or discomfort that she may be in. I ask that you lead her to finding a good doctor

keep her in your loving care. I ask that you bring her through any surgery that may be
required free from complications and completely healed. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

I'm still having a lot of
problems, I went to my wrist doctor today and he told me that surgery was a definite. Just
have to wait now to see when I'll be getting the surgery done...I want you to thank all
those people who are still praying for me, right now I could use them all. It's hard for
me to deal with all of my problems, sometimes I sit and cry knowing that someday I'll get
better with the help of God guiding me I won't give up because I am too strong and I know
that there are people out there far worse than I could ever be. I just wanted to take this
time to thank anyone who says prayers for people like me who need them. God Bless You

Heavenly Father I lift up Lisa
to you in prayer. She has a man named Darin living in her house and she has told him that
she wants him out. He refuses to leave and has threatened her life if she calls the
police. Lord I ask that you wrap Lisa in your arms of love. I ask that you surround her
with a hedge of protection from the threats of this man. I ask that a way be provided to
keep him away from her and out of her house. I ask that you protect and keep her safe. I
ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Update 3/29
I am happy to say
Lisa got him out. Took his dad five hours and it was one A.M. before he was gone. Rev.
Shirley is still worried because she has only written one line sentences since, so we are
praying she is OK and he is not back in the house and no harm has come to her. Please pray
that she is OK. The first step was to get him out which she did with the Lord's help. I
know and I pray He will intervene on her behalf and keep her safe from him.

Cancer has almost taken her life three times. A celebration took place last year when the
cancer went into remission. Now it seems that the tumor in her cheek has come
back. This time she must go through extensive and critical surgery, followed by
chemotherapy treatments and reconstructive surgery. When Taylor was told she asked
if she would lose her hair again. When her mother told her yes, she smiled and said
"That's OK...my dad will be losing his again too." When they shaved her
head to keep her from going through the trauma of it falling out, they also shaved her
dad's. Lord I ask that you wrap this precious child in your arms of love. I ask that you
draw her close to you. I ask that you take away any fear that she may have and replace it
with calmness and peace. I ask that you give comfort to her and take away any pain that
she may be in. I ask that you cover her with your healing power from above. I ask that you
guide the surgeons hands as he goes in to remove the tumor from her cheek. I ask that you

healing power and of the power of prayer. I pray that Taylor will have a long life and

Heavenly Father I lift up Dawn
to you in prayer. She has had the flu for three weeks now and was beginning to improve.
She was eating and gaining her strength and getting some color back in her cheeks and
suddenly took a turn for the worse. She didn't sleep at all Wednesday night and when she
woke up she was very tired, felt achy and was running a low grade fever. By noon time she
was experiencing numbness in her arms and legs and her right hand was in a spasm, she
couldn't even extend her fingers. Her color was very pale and she felt cold to the touch.
Her DR was called and he advised that she be taken to Urgent Care. When Dawn's husband
went to help her get on her feet she collapsed. She started to cry and said she couldn't
do it and felt like she was going to pass out. 911 was called and an ambulance came and
took her to the hospital. They did blood work on her and hooked her up on an IV. The Dr.
said she was badly dehydrated. They got her straightened out and sent her home, after she
arrived home she went straight to bed. Lord I ask that you wrap Dawn in your arms of
love. I ask that you draw her close to you. I ask that you cover her with your healing
power from above and give strength to her body. I ask that you give comfort to her mother
Holly who is with her taking care if her and her children. I ask in the name of Jesus.

Hi Everyone.....Please
pray for Dawn. She has been sick for more than a month now. The Dr. still doesn't know
what the problem is. The Dr. has done about every test imaginable and so far everything
has come up normal. Dawn has lost over 20 pounds and is still very weak and tired all the
time. She is still light, noise and smell sensitive. Please pray that the Lord will touch
Dawn and heal her body soon. She is tired of laying around & sleeping all day and
having know energy. I will extend my flight back home for another week. Please pray for my

Hi Everyone....Have a
wonderful story for you concerning Dawn. She is still very weak and tired and dizzy. She
is regaining her strength day by day slowly. Her appetite is coming back and she seems
brighter and happier. She has been doing better since Wednesday. Now for the story.
Wednesday afternoon Dawn was lying in a makeshift bed I was sleeping on in the dining
room. I was outside playing with the kids. Dawn told me later that she had God's promise
that she would be well soon. As Dawn lay there on this bed in the dining room she said she
felt so tired and so sick and weak and cried out to the Lord saying "Lord where are
you, please take this from me. Lord I know you gave your son's life for me.. Lord if you
want to take me now I am ready Lord...if your not ready for me to go, please heal me"
Then Dawn heard the Lord tell her He wasn't going to take her and that this was a lesson
for many to learn from and that she would be healed and that He had never left her. Then
Dawn said she felt someone sit on the edge of the bed and she felt so comforted to know
someone was in the room with her. When she opened her eyes there was know one there. She
began to weep and instantly knew it was the Lord that was sitting beside her. Since
Wednesday afternoon Dawn has progressively gotten better and better. Its a slow
going...but it is in God's timing...AMEN!! Love, Holly

Hi Everyone....Well...we
are going on five weeks of this sickness. Dawn is really done with this and wants her life
back. She continues to lose weight. She is so tired all the time and her glands in
her neck are very swollen. She is having a hard time swallowing because of it. Today
(Monday) Dawn has a Dr appointment at 4:30 PM. He will be testing her for Mono. All of
Dawn's symptoms sound like mono. Please continue to pray for Dawn. Thank you so much!
Blessings to you all....Holly
Update 4/26
Hi Everyone...Well...I
am still in California taking care of Dawn and the kids ( 7th week). This has been a long
haul. Dawn is slowly regaining her strength. She is eating a little more, but has lost 2
more pounds. Not good. Since my last e-mail Dawn has had some ups and downs....but is
recovering. She still has the dizziness and pounding heart with a skip every once in a
while. Anyway....this morning Dawn had a heart monitor put on her for 24 hrs and we will
know the results in 2 weeks. Thank you so much for all your prayers. I will keep in
touch. Your Sister in Christ.....Holly

Hi Everyone.....Just wanted to update you on Dawn. As of Tuesday Dawn was doing
so well. She even drove her brand new van, for the first time, to the Dr.'s office, but
was unable to drive home because she felt dizzy again. She has been lying down ever since.
Dawn feels like she was gaining strength and stamina and then took 10 steps backwards. I
want to thank all of you for your prayers and your love. Even though we are all struggling
in some way with this temporary illness....the Lord has blessed us with his patients and
grace and is teaching us the true meaning of dying to self. His love for us is sufficient
and we trust His will in this season. God's blessings upon you..... Your Sis....Holly
Update 7/09/01
Hi Everyone.....It's
been awhile since my last update on Dawn so here goes. Dawn is pretty much experiencing
the same symptoms she was a couple months ago. The Dr.'s at this time cannot find anything
wrong with her and it is possible that she does have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome but they
cannot diagnose it as such until you have this fatigue six months or more. Dawn had some
blood work down a month ago and it showed that she is producing a greater amount of
antibodies in her body which means she is fighting a virus....which can be the Epstein
Barr Virus. This virus is hard to detect in some people and sometimes doesn't come up
positive in your blood after you have had it for a year or more. This has all been
very frustrating for us. I am still in California with Dawn. I will be going back home to
Denver in one week. Paul is worried he won't be able to handle this alone. They will have
help from Paul's Mom for a month, but after that we don't know. Paul quit his present job
to go with something that would give him more flexible hours. Dawn is on a strict sleeping
and eating schedule. If she doesn't eat or sleep when she needs to the unfortunate
consequence is her body shuts down and is tired all the time for weeks. Then she starts
all over again to regain her strength. If any of you are interested in learning more about
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome you can visit this web page and read up on it-- www.Cfids.org
Thanks to all of you who have stayed in touch with us and prayed for us. God Bless you

Heavenly Father I lift up
Natasha
and Dean to
you in prayer. They have had problems in their marriage, separated for a brief time and
are now back together. Lord I ask that you wrap this couple in your arms of love. I ask
that you draw them close to you. I ask that you place a desire in their hearts to stay on
the path of righteousness and to obey your teachings concerning their marriage and their
walk with you. I pray that they grow strong in your word and in their growth as
Christians. I ask that you place a hedge of protection around them as they grow close to
you. I pray that their love will grow stronger for one another and that they will continue
to walk in your ways. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Update 7/16/01
I have a sad note, my husband left me a
few weeks ago again for the other woman he met before. He said he doesn't love me anymore
and he doesn't want to stay with me. I was very upset because of that but I have to go on
with my live as God wants me to. The point I didn't understand was that he knew I was
pregnant by him and he still left me. I have and had a very rough time but I'm not going
to give up and I'm going to fight for what I believe in. On May 18, I had to go through an
abortion because of the high risk for me. It was very hard but God was with me that time
and I know he will be with me all the time. I had to make a decision my life or the baby.
I had three c-sections and the doctor told me it would be very dangerous to carry
the baby in so short of a time after the last c-section. I thought the baby would bring us
even closer together but it made him run away. I ask God to forgive me but I cant forgive
myself for making the decision I had to make. Please keep me and my children in your
prayers. I will go the way that God wants me to go. And I know God will show us the way
go. Thanks so much for praying for us. GOD BLESS YOU ALL Natascha and kids

her close to you. I ask that you remove the depression that she feels and replace it with

Heavenly Father I lift up Jeanie to you in prayer. She has been a good
friend for many years. She had a stroke which has left her paralyzed on her right side and
has taken her speech. My visit with her was very nice but hard to see her in a wheel chair
and not able to talk or stand. Amazing to me that I could not understand a word that she
said but when I left I said to her "I love you friend and clearly she said I love you
too." Wonderful words to my ears. Lord I ask that you wrap Jeanie in your arms of
love. I ask that you draw her close to you. I ask if she has accepted Jesus as her Lord
and Savior she answered yes, I do not know this to be true or not. Lord only you know her
heart. If she has not accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior I pray for her salvation. I
ask that you restore all movement to her body. I ask that you will give her complete
recovery from the paralysis and loss of speech. I ask that you heal her completely. I ask
that she be a testimony to those who have said to me that she will never recover of your
healing power and of the power of prayer. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Update 6/21
Jeanie passed away last week from a second stroke. She is with our Lord
now. Thank you for your prayers. In Christ Love Charlotte

around him and keep him safe. I ask that you draw him close to you. I ask that you place
in his mind an understanding of who you are and that he needs salvation. I ask that you
place Christians with him who will lead him to you. I ask that you restore his mind
to function normally. If it is not your will to heal Paul then I ask for mercy. I ask that

stand by and watch the mind of their loved one waste away. I ask in the name of Jesus.
Amen.

The baby is in a breech position. If the baby doesn't turn by the time Misty sees her
doctor again he will have to turn the baby himself to the correct position. Lord I ask

Heavenly
Father I lift up Peggy's husband to you in prayer. He is scheduled to see
the oncologist today. He has cancer and the doctors have said that they think the cancer
has advanced. Lord I ask that you wrap Peggy's husband in your arms of love. I ask that
you draw him close to you. I ask that he get a good report from the doctor today. I ask
that you give guidance to the doctors as to treating his cancer. I ask that you remove any
pain and discomfort that he may be in. I ask that you heal him completely of cancer
whether it be through surgery, chemotherapy or other means. I ask that you give comfort to
Peggy and draw her close to you. If it is not your will to heal him then I ask for mercy.
I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Update 3/21
Wilford's report was
just about as bad as it could be. The type cancer he has been diagnosed with has no cure
rate. The oncologist said it was far advanced and that he would leave it up to Wilford
whether to try and take the only known drugs for it. They are probably just going to
make him sicker with what time he has left. He said only God knows the length of time, but
he felt Dr. Tozer was somewhere in the ball park on the time Wilford has left. At
first I didn't think Wilford would go for the treatments and he still hasn't said for sure
if he will, but whatever he does I will stand behind him and do all I can for
him. He said he would just continue to get weaker and lose more weight, etc.... what
it boils down to is that if he chooses the treatments they will prolong his time a little
bit but no cure. We need your prayers, we still ask that you pray for healing because
miracles still do happen. Peg
3/27 Update
Wilford goes to
Nashville tomorrow to see a different doctor. This doctor specializes in rare
cancers. We know that God can heal Wilford if it is His Will. Love and hugs
Mary
Update 3/30
Hi Everyone, Wilford's
group from work came out to see him before we start getting where we aren't able to let
them run in and out around him. They brought a fruit basket that weighed a ton and a huge
tray of cookies, candy etc. Just what I need around......LOL But the kids and
Wilford are enjoying. 'Wilford had to lie down coming in from Jackson today he is just
fatigued so easily. Wilford is starting to know he is on the Chemo. He was not able
to sleep last night. Only had about three hours sleep since yesterday, he has started
having aches and pains along with some sharp pain in the area of the stomach where the
tumor is. I am hoping he can get a long nap this afternoon before he has to have the
double dose of chemo tonight. I stay tired since he doesn't rest good. I am
awake seeing about him. Wilford finally dozed off to sleep and took about a two hour
nap, I joined him. If he sleeps, I sleep and if he's up, I am up with
him. So wherever and whenever I can get a snooze I do it. I am afraid this is
going to be a bad night because he doubles the amount of the chemo tonight. I do
dread it. Please keep us in your prayers. I have dreaded this part of the
treatments badly. It just breaks my heart to know he is hurting so badly. The doctor
said if the joints started hurting him they could put him on an anti-inflammatory
drug and I am going to call him tomorrow and see if we can't get some called in.
Think it would definitely be a benefit. I am trying to stay straight so he won't know
how I feel but it sure is hard. But we are going to make it....... Please remember
us in your prayers. Hugs Peg
Update 5/10
The scan Wilford had today showed no shrinkage of the
mass.......... we are very, very disappointed. The good news, I guess, was that it has not
grown or any new spots showing. So we have very mixed emotions tonight. We knew when
we started the chemo that it was a Trail Program and was about the only chance we did
have. They have started him on a totally new drug (2) that are given intravenously and we
will have to return to Nashville next week again for them to give it again. We will have
the following week for him to rest.. then we have two trips back again as before.... one
time each week. On the sixth week they will do another scan and determination will be made
if the drug is helping and if we are to continue. The better of the two session
(Chemo drugs) for one more six week session of Chemo. If the mass does shrink by that
time, they will then do surgery. That's far into the future for us right now and seemingly
tonight I can't think that far. We still have the affects of this chemo for him to go
through and it is not going to be pleasant judging from the list of reactions and what the
nurses and doctors told us to be prepared for. I dread it for him. Wilford has
already made it to bed and I am following as soon as I get this letter off. I am too
tired to even relax. I wanted to update all of you on the trip today and tell
you to keep praying. Satan has not gained any ground through this and he can be
arrested by prayer. To those of you I owe emails, I apologize but the time has been
so limited the last few days. Between trying to do the extra work and care for
Wilford, I find I run out of time. I am hoping tomorrow brings a good day for Wilford and
that he will not have any adverse reaction with this chemo and I will be so thrilled if he
doesn't. I am heading off to bed.. Nite' Peg Update
5/21/01
From Wilford's wife Peg, please keep her in prayer for comfort
and strength. Thank you to everyone for your prayers. Please continue! In Christ Love
Charlotte
I can see Wilford going down day by day now. I don't think the treatment are doing a thing
but making him sick right now. I hope I am wrong but I guess I
am just depressed over it.........
Update 7/3/01
I can't seem to talk to anyone ....... just don't seem to come out of my throat
right now. There is very little that will help Wilford.... the surgery would be totally
experimental and the doctor put it pretty plain. There is a good chance that it
could mess him up really bad and then a chance they might be able to get enough of the
mass to help for a little while. then apply the Thermal Infusion of chemo directly
with tubes to the masses. I finally got to where I could ask Dr. Polk what the life
expectancy was in the case we have now. He said, probably six to nine months from
when it was diagnosed in March. Not good odds is it. I am just trying to touch
base. Right now I have a headache, sick at my stomach and Wilford is very
quiet. He has disappeared right now and I'm afraid he is outside in the
heat. The doctor said he would continue to lose weight, get weaker, and basically the
body will just wear out or the cancer will block the bowel or attach to a vessel and he
could hemorrhage. That's kind of hard to type but was a lot harder to hear. Right
now it looks like he is ready to walk and forget the surgery. I am backing him on
whatever decision he makes. This has not been a good day....... We are just so
torn. Peg
Update 7/07/01
Wilford will be undergoing surgery please keep him in your prayers.
"The surgery is called an Exploratory Laparotomy, exploration of the abdomen walls.
They will also do Thermal infusion, that's where they place tubes directly to the mass
that is left and heat the radiation to 45 degrees and apply it for four hours. God help us
!! The doctor will be back in his office on August 15th and they will probably
schedule Wilford around August 17th for the surgery. Wilford just didn't
want it done this month, I don't think it's going to matter a whole lot anyway. So
if he doesn't want it done until August we don't do it until August. But that is the
plan right now. I know now the risk of him coming through the surgery is not real
good but he wants to try it. So I respect that. Peg
Update 8/7/01
Wilford is doing
pretty good. He is apparently going to take what quality time he has left and forget
the surgery. How long that will give us I have no idea. He is in no pain.....
Praise the Lord! So continue to pray for him, if the Lord does take him that he will
not live with pain..... Our medical doctor has written for his records in Nashville and we
will soon know what all they have charted on him. Our doctor lives across the street
from us.... if you hear me refer to Mickey.....that's him. Anyway, Mickey
thought Wilford's liver was more enlarged just by the feel.... so keep praying for
us. So far I am fine, the Lord is carrying me. Love,
Peg
Heavenly Father I lift up my
grandson Justin to you in prayer. I thank you for this precious little child
for he has truly brought joy to my life. I thank you that the hole in his heart is closing
and that surgery will not be needed. Lord I come before your heavenly throne once again on
behalf of Justin. He is scheduled to have blood work today to check for thyroid problems
etc. His skin has a yellowish tint, the DR said that could be caused from the yellow
vegetables he is eating. Lord I ask that you wrap my grandson in your arms of love. I ask
that you keep him calm while his blood is taken. I ask that nothing be found wrong with
his thyroid or any other test that they do on him. I ask that his blood work come back
normal in every way. I ask that you draw his parents close to you. I ask that you comfort
them. I ask that you place a desire in their hearts to know you Lord. I ask in the name of
Jesus. Amen.
Update 4/10
Justin came back
fine. The results came in yesterday. Thank you to everyone who lifted him up to the Lord
in prayer. In Christ Love Charlotte
Heavenly Father I
lift up Mary to you in prayer. She is scheduled to have another biopsy of
her cervix, following that she is scheduled to have surgery on her tear ducts. She has no
fear as she has placed her faith in you, although she is dreading having it done. Lord I
ask that you wrap Mary in your arms of love. I ask that you draw her close to you. I ask
that you bring her through the surgery on her tear ducts with no complications and
completely healed. I ask that no cancer be found in her cervix. I ask in the name of
Jesus. Amen.
Update 5/11
Hi Friends, There
is very little improvement since my eye surgery on April 24th. They look better,
they are not black anymore, but they feel terrible. My eyes are really uncomfortable. The
doctor did not seem very encouraging when I went to see him. He just said we will
have to wait two months to see if it worked. There is nothing they can give me for the
discomfort caused by the shunts. If the doctor were optimistic, it would make going
through this much easier. My eyes are filled with water half of the time, so it makes
everything a little blurred. I am a hairdresser and the chemicals and hairsprays are
really an aggravation too. But, this is the job I have done for 20 years. I
guess you can tell I am pretty bummed out over this. I have been getting depressed
at times, but I keep trying to think positive. I know I need to trust in the Lord. I
don't know why I am having trouble with that. I continue to pray. I know there are people
out there who have much worse problems, so I feel I should just try not to let this
get me down, It is just so uncomfortable, Anyway, thanks for your prayers. Please
continue to lift me up and ask for healing. I am not feeling very strong right now, thank
you for standing in the gap for me. God Bless you and thank you, Mary

Heavenly
Father I lift up Burl to you in prayer. He is in the VA Hospital in Georgia
as result of having blood clots from his ankle to his thigh. The doctor will be
treating him with blood thinners. The doctor said it was a miracle that the clots had
not gone into his lungs and stopped his breathing. Thank you Lord! Any movement in
his leg could cause this to happen. He has been in pain for almost a week now, he can
barely walk ten feet without excruciating pain. Lord I ask that you wrap Burl in your arms
of love. I ask that you draw him close to you. I ask that you remove the clots from his
body. I ask that you heal him completely. I ask that you comfort him and remove any pain
or discomfort that he may be in. I ask that you comfort his wife and draw her close to
you. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Heavenly Father I lift up
Krizza
to you in prayer. She has been diagnosed with acute leukemia. She has been ill from this
disease for nearly a year now. Last month the doctor told her parents that the cancer is
relapsing rapidly, the cancer has spread to her bones and somewhat in the brain. For the
past two weeks she has suffered so much pain in her knees. The first three days the pain
was so unbearable, she cried she just couldn't take it. The doctor had to give her
morphine to give her relief. After chemotherapy treatments and four days of taking
morphine, she no longer feels the pain. The doctors have said that she could go into
remission or they can remove the malignant cells in her body in four to six weeks. This
will be her last chance to have a bone marrow transplant. The transplant will be done in
Bangkok and they live far away from there. The doctors have informed her parents that
there are risks involved and that they need to be strong. Lord I ask that you wrap Krizza
in your arms of love. I ask that you draw her close to you. I ask that you remove any pain
and discomfort that she may be in. If she does not go into remission and healing is to
come through a bone marrow transplant I ask that a way be provided for her to go to
Bangkok to have it done. I ask that you guide the hands of the doctor who will be doing
this procedure. I ask that you bring Krizza through safely with no complications and
completely healed from all cancer. I ask that you give comfort to her family and draw each
one close to you. I ask that you give them wisdom and understanding of your word as they
seek to know you Lord. I ask that Krizza's healing be a testimony to the doctors, medical
staff, strangers, family and friends of your healing power and of the power of prayer. The
coming together of sisters and brothers in Christ in prayer and love for Krizza. I come
before your heavenly throne and ask these things in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Update 8/8/01
I'm very sorry if I didn't write any news from Krizzia. But it doesn't mean
that I forgot all of you there who is helping us of prayers. Krizzia died
April 25 in Bangkok. Even now everything seems unfair to me because of what
happened. There's a lot of questions in my heart and mind that I feel so confused I
still cannot believe that I cannot even touch or hear her voice. You are the first
one I write this mail to say what happened. Because there is a feeling here inside
me that I
cannot explain, every time I will talk about her. It is not that I want to forget
her or my feeling inside me. Thank you very much to all of you, maybe soon I'm going
to write and tell about her braveness and everything that a little girl is fighting, and
asking for her life but nobody can give her. God bless all of you, Cecille

Heavenly
Father I lift up David to you in prayer. When he was at Church tonight he
was struck by another teen. As a result he has bruises on his face, chest and head. All of
this violence happened because of a misunderstanding, David was accused of hiding the
teens scooter, which he says he is not guilty of. Even if his accusations were true it
still gives this young man no right to strike David in any way. David didn't hit back in
retaliation he turned the other cheek. Lord I ask that you wrap David in your arms of
love. I ask that you cover him with your healing power from above. I ask that you draw him
close to you. Better a man is he as he turned the other cheek. I ask that you place a
feeling of remorse in the heart of the young man who did this to David. I ask that you
draw him close to you. I pray that he will come to David and ask forgiveness for the wrong
that he has done. I ask that you bring these two youngsters together in forgiveness and
love. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Update 3/22
David is doing fine, and the boy did apologize to
him, they shook hands. Marie

prayer. This precious child is only five months and he is scheduled to have brain surgery.
The surgery is scheduled for Wednesday, March 21 at 6:00 A.M. He will be in surgery for at
least five hours. Lord we come together in prayer and ask that you wrap this precious

Heavenly Father I lift up
P. J. Kimbrell to you in prayer. He is twenty years old and he is enlisted in the
Army. He left his home in N.C. Sunday, March 11 at 9:30 P.M. and he hasn't been seen or
heard from since. The sheriff is looking for him and the U.S. Marshall. They searched his
dad's home Tuesday night, no one knows where he is. Lord I ask that you wrap P. J. in your
arms of love. I ask that you place a hedge of protection around him. I ask that you keep
him safe from harm. If he is running away from the Army purposely I ask that you place a
desire in his heart to turn himself in. I ask that you place a desire in him to get in
touch with his family and let them know that he is safe. I ask that you give comfort to
his family and draw each one close to you. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Update 4/13
We still don't know where
PJ is. He called his mom last week, but he wouldn't tell her where he was, he said
he was all right and not to worry about him, He is not in his car, so someone is with him
and driving him. He just got a $4000 bonus, so we don't know if he was possibly robbed and
kidnapped. I know the whole family is upset, but I will let you know if I hear anything.
It is real nice for you to keep him in your prayers, I know one thing if he is OK, when
they find him, he is in lot of trouble with the army. Thanks to everyone for your prayers
and please continue to pray for my nephew. Love, Yvonne
Update 6/13/01
"Telling you
about my nephew, he turned himself in and they discharged him PJ told me they were so mean
to him and he was about to have a nervous break down. He said he went to the doctor for
his nerves, but they wouldn't give him anything, so he just went AWOL." Yvonne

Heavenly Father I lift up Lindsey to you in prayer. She is fourteen years
old and has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. The tumor is located in the center of her
brain and it is three to five centimeters in size. She attends a youth group at a Baptist
Church in Georgia. Lord I ask that you wrap this precious young girl in your arms of love.
I ask that you draw her close to you. I ask that you give comfort to her and remove any
fear that she may be having. I ask that you remove the tumor from the center of her brain.
If healing is to come through the hands of a surgeon I ask that you guide his hands. I ask
that you bring her through with no complications and completely healed. I ask that you
give comfort to her friends and loved ones. I ask that you bring the youth group that she
attends together in love and prayer for their sister in Christ. Thank you Lord for this
young ladies salvation. I pray that her healing will be a witness to your healing power
and the power of prayer. I ask in the name of Jesus.
Amen.
Update 3/20
I was just writing to give you all an update on
Lindsey. I plan to keep each of you informed of her condition. Lindsey began her radiation
and chemotherapy treatments last week. She has had two rounds of radiation and two
rounds of chemo., and it has not made her sick. Praise the Lord!!!!! She will
be going back next week to continue her treatments. She and her family are staying
at the Ronald McDonald House, and they love it and the people there. I also wanted
to tell each of you Thank you so much for your prayers and for sending the prayer chain to
everyone. We have had an awesome response, and it really encourages Lindsey to hear
from people she doesn't even know who are concerned. Also, she has really been encouraged
by all the letters of people who have had God perform miracles and healing in their
lives. I just wanted to let each of you know, even though I may not know you we
still have a connection and that is Jesus Christ. I love each of you and I will keep
you posted. Friends in Christ
Update 4/18
Hello everyone, I just thought I would give
you all an update on Lindsey. Lindsey is still doing great, she has yet to get sick from
her treatments. About two weeks ago she did begin losing her hair pretty bad, so when my
daddy went up to visit her she got him to shave the rest of it off. She really responded
well to losing her hair. In May, some members of my church are going to have a fund
raiser, where they raise money for Lindsey and they shave their hair also. She has
the rest of this week and three days next week and she will be through with radiation, so
she'll get to be home for a while. Lindsey had her 14th birthday last week (April 11th),
since she had to be in Atlanta, my parents took her to Stone Mountain to celebrate. The
biggest praise report of all is that Lindsey is still eager to spread the word of God to
others. About two weeks ago, our youth ministry went to sing and give testimonies at
another church and Lindsey felt well enough to get up there with us (answered
prayer). Thank you all so much for continuing to remember Lindsey in your
prayers. God does answer prayers and I can see his hand in this situation as he has
pulled a community of believers together. Thanks again and may God bless each of you
in a mighty and special way. Friends in Christ, Paula Tomberlin

Heavenly Father I lift up Sheila's family
to you in prayer. Her daughter Sara is in a custody battle concerning
her children Dakota and Quinton. These children have different fathers.
False accusations have been made against Kenny (Sheila's son) who is
mentally handicapped. There is a lot of hatred and confusion going on in
this family right now. Lord I ask that you keep each person involved in
your loving care. I ask that you draw each one close to you. I do not
know the truth of this situation but you do Lord. I ask that the truth
prevail. I ask that you place a hedge of protection around this family
against the evil one and his lies. I ask that you bring everyone
together in love and forgiveness for one another no matter the outcome
of this situation for the sake of the children. I ask that you remove
all the hate and hostility that has come upon this family. I ask in the
name of Jesus. Amen.

cat scan Tuesday, March 13. He has had a bad cough and is spitting up blood. He had to be
put on medication due to depression from losing his wife last year as well. Lord I ask
that you wrap Peter in your arms of love. I ask that nothing of a serious nature be found
in the results of the cat scan. Whatever is causing the cough I ask that it be treatable
with the proper medication. I ask that you remove depression and replace it with peace in
knowing that Virginia is now safe with you and all of her suffering here has ended. I ask
that you give him peace in knowing that he will see her again one day. I ask that
you place a desire in his heart to go back to the church where his wife attended as they
are all waiting to welcome him with arms of love. I ask that you give him strength to get
through this difficult time in his life. I ask that you give comfort to him and draw him
close to you. I ask that you give comfort to Peter's daughter Margie as she too is having
a difficult time dealing with her mother not being here. Margie is a loving person with a
heart filled with kindness and compassion. She loved her Mom so much and took such good
care of her. Now she has to care for her father and see to his needs. I ask that you give
Margie strength and peace and draw her close to you. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

flaming darts of Satan are coming from everywhere. There is turmoil all around. I pray for
salvation of those who have not accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. I pray that those
who have turned away from you, that they will come back to you Lord in repentance for the
things they have done that are not pleasing to you. I ask that you draw each one close to
you. I leave this family in your loving care. You know the needs of each one Lord and I

somewhere. The caller id one showed she was here in town. God Bless You Amelia Anne
Heavenly Father I lift up Rae and her family to you in prayer. Last
week her parents and her daughter who had just arrived in town were murdered by her son.
Rae was at the house, but left earlier. When Rae's son shot the first family member, Rae's
Mom tried calling 911. The computer was on, and the line would not work. Grace, Rae's
sister who lived with the parents ran to the neighbors, and when she returned, her Mom and
dad were killed. Rae's son is only twenty-one years old, and has had previous felony
convictions. Rae wanted him to live with her parents and in the end, his problems caused
their deaths, and the death of his sister. His sister was five months pregnant she and the
baby died. She left behind two children in Honolulu with their father. It took Grace
several days to talk and eat. The boy was found and was arraigned. They said he has not
said why he did it. He refused drug testing but the detective on duty that night said he
was high. He did not say why he did it. What a terrible tragedy this is Lord for a family
member to be responsible for the deaths of his grandparents and his sister, life's taken
by his hand. Dear Lord my heart weeps for this family and the heartache that this has
caused. Lord I ask that you hold this family in your arms of love. I ask that you give
comfort to Rae, her sister Grace and the husband and children of Rae's daughter. I ask
that you give comfort to all of the friends of this family. I ask that you draw each one
close to you. I ask that you give them strength to get through this tragic time in their
life's. I ask that you convict the heart of Rae's son so strong that he will fall to
his knees with remorse for what he has done. I ask that he be given a vivid picture of
each life that he has taken and that he feel unbearable guilt. Guilt so strong that he
will call out to you Lord and ask for your forgiveness. I ask that when he stands before a
judge for this terrible crime that he receive just punishment. I pray Lord that the family
will find it in their hearts to forgive this young man for what he has done. I pray Lord
for this young mans salvation. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Charlotte, thanks for
asking about my Mom, she is doing as good as expected. She is weak and has no energy. With
the type of cancer that she has the doctors say that she is doing fine. She has lung
cancer, and we were advised in the beginning that it is terminal, but she has been hanging
in there for the last two years. She has undergone radiation and chemo. In the
beginning she was wearing a size 18W now she is wearing a size 10 or 12. She has lost a
lot of weight, and has no energy to do anything. But by the grace of God, she is
still hanging in there. The hardest part is to see her just deteriorate, it's hard for me,
because she has always been a very active person. On the 10th of June, she will be 79
years old. Thanks for checking and continue to keep her and my family in your
prayers, and I will pray for
your sister. Shirley O. Robinson-Cruz

Update 3/7
Dear prayer partners, I need
your prayers. In short the ministry that the Lord has been birthing in me for at least a
year is about to begin. The enemy has attempted to come in and destroy it. It is a
ministry called "LIFE SUPPORT MINISTRY" a ministry of encouragement to hurting
people. Since I talked with my pastor about it beginning next week, I have been struggling
alone and need some help interceding. My husband lost his job 3 days after my pastor and I
decided to move forward with the ministry. This was in January. He has not found a job
yet. We lost all insurance and benefits. I have had multiple attacks on my health and need
healing for my body. We are unable to afford doctor visits to figure out why my right side
has hurt for 2 years. Since we have no insurance, we are trusting the Lord to provide what
we absolutely must have. We are in our fifties, so just finding health insurance at an
affordable rate has been difficult. My father has been ill and is awaiting the tests
results he had last week of a biopsy on his lung and brain. My friend I recognize all of
this for what it is, but I also know that since I am a prayer warrior the enemy likes to
attack those who are actually trying to do something for the Lord too. I know what he is
attempting to do and that is to stop this ministry. I will not let him stop me!!!!
Please pray that next week when I talk to the congregation about it that I will have holy
boldness and that the Lord will give me the right words to say to bring those who need to
be in these support groups there and that he will grant me a double portion anointing for
this ministry. Blessings my dear friends and partners in our Savior Jesus.
Heavenly Father I lift up

that he placed in her life. Lord you are her strength, her refuge, her hiding place. We
ask that you wrap her in your arms of love. We ask that you remove all turmoil from her

Friends, Praise God, my friend Wes Denham has been released from the hospital and is back
home now. He is feeling much better and is able to breathe again. I am still
hoping that God will completely restore his lungs, but we will have to wait to see what
God decides to do. For now the immediate crisis is past and he can begin exercising
and rehabbing once again. I do thank all of you so much for your prayers and I do
hope that many of you will continue to pray for his salvation. I've told him that
it's time we have a serious talk about God and he seemed receptive to the idea, so my hope
is that God has him prepared to come to that place where he will see how real Jesus
is. Please pass this along to all those you asked for prayer, with my
heartfelt gratitude. God bless all of you Love and hugs, Chick

this child be born strong and healthy in every way. I ask that you draw Glenda's daughter
and her boyfriend close to you. I ask that you place a desire in their hearts to seek you

Heavenly Father I lift up Gaige to you in prayer. This precious child is
only three years old. He is in critical condition in Salt Lake City University Hospital in
the Burn ICU. His skin started to come off in chunks and he was admitted to the hospital.
His was in so much pain that even morphine didn't help. By Friday of last week his
condition became worse and he was flown out to SLC. His condition was critical when
he got there, surgery was performed and they removed all of his skin. They have been
doing radical antibiotic treatments since Saturday. He is about three times the size of
what he was, he has no hair and his head is about the size of a pumpkin. He is covered
with Bio Brain Skin that has been stapled to his torso and wrapped in plastic. He is on
complete life support and will have to be in the Intensive Care Unit for a month or more
and a long recovery time is expected. His condition is critical but stable. They thought

any pain that he may be in. I ask that you give comfort to him. I ask that you restore his
skin to normal. I ask that you give guidance to the doctors and all medical staff as to
administering treatment for his condition. I ask that you cover him with your healing
power from above. I ask for complete healing and restoration of his skin. Lord I pray that
this precious child will be a witness of your healing power and to the power of prayer.
Lord you are our great physician, the one we turn to ask for healing. Just as you removed
the issue of blood from the woman and said to her "woman your faith has healed
you" I also come before you in faith that you will heal Gaige. I ask that you give
comfort to the loved ones of Gaige and draw each one close to you. I ask in the precious
name of Jesus. Amen.

THAT THERE IS A HUGE CANCEROUS TUMOR ON THE AORTA TO HER STOMACH. THEY AREN'T SURE
JUST YET IF IT HAS SPREAD. ANOTHER BIOPSY WAS TAKEN AND A BONE MARROW TEST WAS DONE TODAY

Heavenly
Father I lift up Martina to you in prayer. Her mother died in April of 99,
her brother in June of 2000 and her husband July of 2000. Her husband Robert suffered from
Pancreatic Cancer. She misses her brother and her mother very much but Robert's death
seems to be the hardest for her to cope with. When he was diagnosed she was with him.
After the diagnosis he spent eight to ten hours in surgery, she was there waiting for him
and the news of the outcome. The final outcome the tumor could not be removed because
blood vessels were wrapped around it. If they attempted to remove the tumor, he would have
died on the table. After surgery she stood by feeling helpless as the cancer progressed.
No treatment would help him due to the fact that the tumor had spread everywhere. He just
wasted away and became a skeleton due to starvation. He never once complained, the only
thing he said to the doctor upon finding out that he had cancer was "WHY ME."
Martina misses her husband and she is having a very hard time dealing with the loss. She
dreams about him constantly, in the dreams, he is gone, but eventually he comes back, but
she can never seem to get near him. When she awakes he is on her mind constantly. She is
seeing her family doctor every week. His method of treatment is anti depressants, she is
taking two types of this medication. Their son is fifteen years old and she feels as
though he has not only lost his father but her as well. She has not been there for him
like she used to be, yet he never complains. Her husband was so dear to her and some of
the memories that she holds are those in which she remembers the many lives that he
touched during his time here. Lord I ask that you wrap Martina in your arms of love. You
who are all knowing, know the heavy load that she is carrying around with her everyday,
the hurt, the pain that she feels from her husband's death. All that she went through
watching him suffer and not being able to help him was devastating for her. Lord I ask
that you draw her close to you. I ask that you give comfort to her and that you help her
to let go. I ask that her memories of Robert remain fresh within her mind as to place a
smile upon her face as she thinks lovingly of him. I ask that the time of his illness be
removed from her mind and put to rest. I ask that you help her through this so she can be
a mother to her son, to be there for him. I know he must be feeling a lot of emotions
inside his heart as well. I ask that you give healing to her heart so she can get on with
her life. I leave Martina in your loving care and I ask that you bring her through this
difficult time in her life. I ask that you brush away each tear that falls and replace
those tears with a smile as she remembers her love for him and his for her. I ask that you
give comfort to Martina and her loved ones. I ask in the precious name of Jesus. Amen.
Update 3/30
Hello Charlotte, I hope
that is okay that I call you by your first name, if not please let me know. Thank you so
much for remembering and thinking about me. I am doing a lot better than the last time you
had heard from me going on and on. I PRAY it is because SO many people are praying for me,
including YOU. I am on two different kinds of depression medications B.I.D. which were
supposed to take a while to start helping. I believe it is God answering my prayers and so
many others, plus making the medications work in my favor. I have to say I am at
least 30% better than before. So, I Thank God I am taking steps forward instead of
backwards. Thank You again for thinking of me...As
Always, Martina Reed & Son, John :o)
Update 6/14
Hello Charlotte, Thank You for thinking of me,
yesterday was the 1yr. anniversary of my husband Robert passing away. I had family to
support me all of this past year, no matter how much they try, I ask Our Dear Lord to get
us thru this most difficult time. I do Thank God I am blessed with the family I have, plus
Robert's son & daughter from his previous marriage came and spent the day with me,
that was a blessing in itself. My husband and I have a son together, John, who will be 16
thi coming Sept. and he had Bobby, 26, & Tiffany, 21. For some reason I had thought
after their Dad had passed away that they would forget me, but they didn't. They come more
now then they ever did, especially his daughter Tiffany, we have become so close, it's a
blessing from God! I know that Robert was looking down & smiling yesterday when we
were all together comforting one another. I could sure tell that they are their Dad's
children because they have so many good qualities in them that my husband so often shared.
I am still on depression medicine, which I hope I do not have to depend on it for very
long. My heart still aches so much to have Robert with us, but I now know that is not
going to happen and I have to start looking towards the future for my sake as well as for
my son's sake. He still never talks about his Dad's passing, I bring it up to him and he
just doesn't want to talk about it. He just finished his 1st yr. in High School and I have
to say he did quite well with what he's had to deal with this past year, he is a lot
stronger than I am. I still can't have a regular conversation that has anything to do with
Robert, but I am getting there, one day at a time. Again, Thank You so much for thinking
of me. Please keep in touch. Sincerely, Martina
Heavenly Father I lift up Jude,
Bobbie and their grandchild to you in prayer. They reside in California, an
earthquake of 5. 1 has occurred. The quakes are about 35 miles from them, centered in Big
Bear which is located right below their location. Lord I ask that you place a hedge of
protection around Bobbie, Jude, their grandchild and the other families who reside in
California. I ask that you keep them safe. I ask that the power of this quake subside. I
ask that nothing of a large magnitude occur from this quake. I ask that you give comfort

Linda's
family to you in prayer. Her mother Ethe is very ill and has been in the Intensive
Care Unit for the past two days. Linda is not sure if surgery will be done or not at
this time. The family has been there with her around the clock for two days. Linda's
brother is dying from lung cancer and her father is very ill also. Linda has lupus and her
emotional state is not good at this time. Lord I ask that you wrap this family in your
arms of love. I ask that you draw each one close to you. I ask that you heal Ethel. If
healing is to come through the hands of a surgeon, I ask that you guide his hands and
bring her through safely with no complications and completely healed. I ask that you give
comfort to Linda's brother. I ask that you remove any pain that he may be having. I ask
that you heal him Lord, that you remove the cancer from his lungs. If it is not your will
to heal then I ask for mercy. I ask that you heal Linda's father from whatever is causing
his illness. I ask that you give strength to Linda and take away any pain that she may be
in. I ask that you remove the disease of lupus from her body completely. I ask that you
give comfort to this family during this difficult time. I ask that you cover each one with
your healing power from above. Lord I leave this family in your loving care. I ask for
healing in the precious name of Jesus. Amen.

Charlotte,
Thank you so much for your prayers and your always being there for so many. Mom is doing
better they have found where the bleeding is coming from and are working on that now,
hoping medication may take care of it, if not the surgery will have to be done. Still no
word on my Dad's new test but he is pretty sick and trying to hide it now with Mom being
so ill. I guess when he feels he wants to share everything with us he will, and with God's
help we can all get through what is going on with him. No news about my Brother he is
still fighting a good fight and says its just not his time yet. He has fooled them all
this time, he is right when he says its not time or our Lord would have called him home.
Thanks to everyone for all your prayers. Love, Linda

Hi
my friend, I have been gone for about ten days. I got a call from my brother who asked me
to come and see him as he didn't have much time left. I really didn't know what to do with
both my parents ill also, but he needed me, so I prayed to our LORD and ask him to help me
know what I should do. I then went on the PC and there were air lines with low fares, it
wasn't there ten minutes before. I went to the site and found a plane leaving the
next day, this would have been a Thursday. I booked a seat and went to NY. I went to the
VA Hospital and there was my brother with his things all together waiting for me. Everyone
said he told them I would be there to take him home, (he didn't know I was coming on that
day). I took him home and we had to days together before the LORD called him home. Just
him and I for two days it was wonderful. He told me what he wanted done after he was gone
and on Sunday his pain was unreal, nothing was helping him. I gave him his pain
medication, rubbed his back and feet until he told me he wanted to go to sleep now and for
me to go back to my hotel and rest. I did as he asked, before he was to be called home he
still wanted to be my "HERO" and didn't want me to see him leave this earth. I
did as he asked and told him I loved him and he told me he loved me too. When I went back
to my room I prayed for the LORD to take him as I didn't want to see him in any more pain
and he wanted to go home now. I cried many tears and after two hours I was going to go
back over, I called him and there was no answer, I called again and no answer. I knew that
he was gone. I called 911 and told them what was going on and asked them to meet me there.
When I got there they had found him and he was gone, I wanted to much to be with him when
he went home but he didn't want me to see that so that's why he made me go. We think just
about the time I made it back to my hotel and prayed for him to go home is when he went. I
stayed in a town full of wonderful people who helped me so much, I told them all they were
my angels, everyone was wonderful to me, I didn't know a soul in this town so it was great
having such nice people around me at this time. I miss my brother Ernie so much, but I
know he is in a better place and has no more pain. I just wish he would have let me stay
with him that day. Until the end he was still putting me first, what a wonderful man he
was. My heart has a void that will never heal, but I know my brother Ernie would want me
to go on and that's what I will do in time. I just feel so lost without him, and my heart
hurts like it never has before. They says time heals all wounds and this may be true but
the void will always be with me and I will miss him until we meet again. I had Ernie for
two days until the pain was so bad that he couldn't even talk very well and I did all that
he asked of me after he was gone. I had to stay about four more days to take care of what
he wanted. My Mom is doing better as far as her health, my Dad is still very ill and this
all hasn't help both of them with their illness. But they were so happy I was to be with
Ernie and do all that he wanted me to do. I left Ernie's place at 4:30 and we found him at
6:30 and he had been gone for about two hours on March 4, 2001, my HERO went home. Please
thank everyone for all of their prayers. Thank you my friend for all your prayers and also
for your friendship, it has become very important to me. Blessing Linda
Update 5/19
Charlotte, Thank you so much for the card. Yes, I'm having a very hard
time right now. I haven't felt good for some time now, everything is getting to me. Sunday
we are having a service for Ernie, his son is home now so we can do it. Please pray that I
get through it all, I'm not sure I can. Your Loving Sister in Christ and Friend Linda
Update: Tuesday, May 22, 2001
Good morning! Charlotte, I'm sorry my friend that I worried you. : (
Sunday was very hard and all the feelings of the last few months came and took over my
body. I was a mess, and all I could think of was to ask our Lord to help, and He did! I
just needed to take some time and stay busy. It seems the hurt is not getting better, I'm
so sad all the time. I try so hard not to be, but it just seems that I can't stop it.
Charlotte I have to get myself together and I don't know how or what to do. I'm not the
same person to my family and friends and it's starting to cause tension in my home, more
so with my daughter and she has been so good to me, coming home to help me after my last
surgery. I have to keep asking the Lord to help me, its just so hard. When I close my eyes
I see Ernie on that last day, and how much pain he was in, I want to see the good times
but I can't yet. I guess seeing my Mom and Dad and the pain they have also isn't helping,
and I don't feel that I'm helping them as I should be right now. Well, my friend I better
get some work done. Your in my heart and always in my prayers Blessing and love Hugs,
Linda

will be used. Shirley is sixty eight years old and she is very scared. Lord I ask that you
wrap Shirley in your arms of love. I ask that you draw her close to you. I ask that you
guide the doctors as to finding the best treatment for her. I ask that you give her
comfort and remove any pain that she may be having. I ask that you remove her fear and

Heavenly Father I lift up Eric
and his sons to you in prayer. They were in a fire in which Eric's wife, their
son, and a newborn daughter died. Eric and his two sons are in very bad shape in the local
burn unit. Everyone had just gathered together and rejoiced the birth of their precious
baby girl eight days ago. Her birth and death notice were placed in the newspaper on the
same day. Lord I sit here before you so saddened by this tragedy. Dear Lord I ask
that you wrap Eric and his sons in your arms of love. The pain from their burns probably
does not compare to the pain they are feeling in their hearts at this time. I ask that you
comfort them and draw them close to you. I ask that you remove all pain from their bodies.
I ask that you cover them with your healing power from above and bring them through
completely healed. Lord we as Christians know that Eric's wife, son and daughter are now
with you where they live eternal. We know that Eric and his sons know this also but still
they mourn. Lord I ask that you give them comfort and I ask that the memories of each one
be forever fresh in their minds. One day they will all be together again with you where
life will never end. I ask that you keep them in your loving care as they need comfort
that only you can give them Lord. I ask in the precious name of Jesus. Amen.

Heavenly
Father I lift up Dara to you in prayer. She is either thirteen or fourteen
years old. She was in an auto accident a while back. The injuries have caused a
nerve disorder as a result from the damage done to her body. She convulses
continually, every thirty seconds or so. The Drs. say it is not epilepsy. The
diagnosis is R.S.D.S. Dara screams in pain, her limbs have atrophied except for the areas
that flail during series of seizures. When the seizures move, the atrophy moves to other
parts of her body. It is hard to feed her, brush her teeth, dress her or for her to be
without pain. She cannot stand or sit alone. A specialist in RSDS is located
in Seattle. They are scheduled to meet with him Saturday, February 10. Her parents are
suffering financially now, and there is no more sick leave left for them to take care of
Dara. Lord I ask that you wrap Dara in your arms of love. I ask that you give comfort to
her and draw her close to you. I ask that you guide and direct the specialist caring
for her. I come before your throne and ask that you cover her with your healing power from
above. I pray that her healing will be a testimony to all who know of her illness of your
healing power and the power of love and prayer. I ask that you give comfort to her parents
and loved ones and draw each one close to you. I ask that provisions be made for help
financially for her parents. I ask in the precious name of Jesus.
Heavenly
Father I lift up Tina to you in prayer. After suffering from six months of
pain in her abdomen she is finally able to see a doctor. She had no medical insurance and
therefore was not able to seek medical attention. Dear Lord what a shame that we live in
a
country where we cannot get medical help because of no insurance. Your word says that we
are to care for the sick and the poor. Lord I ask that you wrap Tina in your arms of love.
I ask that you place her in the care of a good medical doctor, one who cares for the
person more than for the money he will be paid for services. I ask that nothing serious be
found. I ask that you draw her close to you. I ask that you keep her two small children in
your loving care. I ask that you make provisions for this family financially. I ask for
complete healing. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Heavenly Father I lift up Josh
to you in prayer. This precious little boy is only ten years old. About a year ago his
mother took him to the doctor due to having pains in his legs. The doctor told her they
were growing pains. Recently he got a lump in his throat, a second lump followed. After
the second lump appeared his doctor sent him to Children's Hospital. There they ran a
series of test and found tumors throughout the inside of his little body (legs, throat,
lungs, stomach, etc.). The tumors are cancerous. Not only are they cancerous, but there
are two different types of cancer which require two different types of treatment. Both
treatments cannot be done at one time as the result would be death. The cancer is his leg
will be treated first because it is already at stage four. Chemotherapy treatments will be
done for twenty-one weeks to keep the cancer from spreading. After the twenty-one weeks
they will proceed with chemotherapy on the other cancer and rotate back & forth. Josh
is highly prone to infection so everyone around him must wear masks & scrubs. His
mother is a single Mom (his dad died when he was a baby). He will be in Children's
Hospital for therapy for the next year. He weighs less than 80 pounds. Lord I come before
your throne in tears for this precious child. I cannot imagine having one chemo treatment
let along having to have two types for one year. My sister an adult went through six
months and the effects left her so weak and so nauseated. She had enough weight to sustain
her, this precious child only weighs eighty pounds. I ask that you wrap Josh in your arms
of love. I ask that you protect him from infection. I ask that you cover him with your
healing power from above. I come before your heavenly throne and I ask for a miracle Lord,
I ask that you remove all cancer from within his little body. I ask that Josh be a
testimony for everyone to see the power of coming together in prayer and in love for this
little child. I ask that you give comfort to his mother. I ask that you wrap her in your
arms of love and draw her close to you. I leave Josh in your loving care. Lord your will,
will be done in this child. If it is not your will to heal him I ask for mercy. I ask in
the precious name of Jesus. Amen
Heavenly Father I lift up Stuart to you in prayer. This precious child is only four months old. He has fluid on the
brain and had to have a tube inserted from ear to ear to relieve the pressure so the brain
will grow. Lord I ask that you wrap this precious child in your arms of love. I come
before your throne dear Lord and I ask that you cover baby Stuart with your healing power
from above. I ask that you remove the fluid from his brain and heal him completely. I ask
that you keep his loved ones in your loving care as they go through this difficult time. I
ask that you draw each one close to you. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Heavenly
Father I lift up Stephen and his family to you in prayer. The parents were
in a terrible car accident in which the stepfather was killed upon impact. The mother has
been placed in the Intensive Care Unit. Lord I ask that you wrap Stephen and his family in
your arms of love. I ask that you comfort them and give them strength to get through this
terrible tragedy in their lives. I ask that you draw each one close to you. I ask that
wrap the mother in your arms of love. I ask that you cover her with your healing power
from above. I ask that you bring her through her injuries with no complications and
completely healed. I ask that you comfort her as she mourns the death of her husband. I
ask that you draw her close to you. I ask that you keep this family in your loving care as
they give comfort to one another. I pray for salvation for whoever in this family has not
accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. I ask that the healing of their mother be a
testimony to them and to others of your healing power and the power of prayer. I ask in
the name of Jesus. Amen.
Update 2/7
Steven's mother is still
in critical condition. The doctors said that she might not be able to walk again.
They said she was talking so that a good sign. I will keep you updated. Please continue in
prayer. Marie

Heavenly Father I lift up Darla
to you in prayer. Her heart is troubled from betrayal. Her husband has been
verbally and physically abusive to her for several years. She has left him and will
be visiting family to try to get her thoughts together to decide what she should do. He is
having an affair with someone who is very close to her. This is the same person who has
helped her through so many hard times in her abusive relationship. This affair is hurting
a lot of people in her family and the damage will be devastating. Lord I ask that you
intervene with your help from above. I ask that you convict the heart of the person who is
seeing her husband. I ask that you show this person the wrong of what she is doing. I ask
you to show her the devastation that will be caused in this family if this affair
continues. I ask that you open her eyes to see this man for what he is and the hurt that
he has caused Darla. I ask that you break up this relationship before it causes hate. I
ask that you draw Darla close to you. I ask that you walk beside her and help her through
this. I ask that you comfort her and hold her in your arms of love. I ask that after this
affair ends Darla will be able to forgive and move on with her life. I pray for the
salvation of all involved who have not accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. I ask in
the name of Jesus. Amen.
Heavenly
Father I lift up Barbara to you in prayer. Lord I ask that you wrap her in your
arms of love. I come before your throne never giving up on a miracle. You Lord who have
given sight to the blind, voice to the mute, healed the lepers, opened the ears of the
deaf to hear, drove demons out, and raised the dead, you Lord are our great physician. You
Lord can give healing to our bodies even when death is near your healing power can revive
us. I ask that you cover Barbara with your healing power from above. I ask that you heal
her completely, I ask that you revive her. If it is not your will to heal her Lord then I
ask for mercy. I ask that you wrap her parents in your arms of love and give comfort to
them during this difficult time. I ask that you draw them close to you and surround them
with your love. I pray that complete healing will come to Barbara's body and that she will
be a testimony for all to see of your love and of the power of prayer. I ask in the name
of Jesus. Amen.
Update 2/10
Barbara is worse,
hospice told us today she could go at any time. She knows what is going on but can't
talk. we have called all our family in, they came today. They can't get over how strong I
am holding up. but it is the Lord is giving me so much strength. Please keep on
praying for me, Barbara and the family. God bless you
Love, Yvonne
My Dear Friends In Christ, Barbara passed away Sunday, February 11, at
2:45 P.M. She went peaceful, she is in Heaven now with all of my family. I whispered in
her ear yesterday that she was going to meet Jesus and he was waiting for her at the
pearly gates, and he would be there to open the gates of Heaven to carry her through. I
know she is already having a glad reunion day.
Praise The Lord! Keep on praying
for me, the Lord has given me a lot of strength, I'm holding up real good. Love to all of
my friends on the P.C. and thank you for all of your prayers, I love every one of you. God
Bless you. Love, Yvonne
Update 3/8
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ: Dear Christian Friends: I want to thank
each and every one of you that prayed for my daughter Barbara that had brain cancer. I
would like to call everyone by name, but there were so many of you that prayed. My
beautiful daughter passed away Feb, 11th at 2:45 P.M., I was holding her hand and telling
her that God was waiting for her at the pearly gates to greet her. I told her he will
open the gates to take her through to meet all of the angels and all her
family that was waiting for her. Praise The Lord! It has been a hard time for me as she
was my only child, and I miss her terribly, we had such a good time together. If I had any
problems with my computer, she would always come and fix it, and we would kid around a lot
and laugh together on up to the end. I am having a hard time off and on, some days I would
cry and scream myself to sleep. I went to my doctor yesterday and he wants me to see a
doctor that helps when you have lost a loved one. He said if I don't I will have a nervous
break down. I will probably go next month to give it a try. I have lost everyone in my
family Mom, dad, sister, brother, and a sister two years ago (we were very close). I still
haven't gotten over her yet, and now my only child. It is hard to lose anyone in your
family, but when it comes to your only child, it is different. I am praying for the Lord
to give me strength. All I can say now is that I have a broken heart but God is going to
deliver me. God bless each and everyone for your love and all your prayers. I'm so
glad that I have friends on the computer that love me and carry my burdens with me.
Goodnight my Christian friends, Thanks for all your prayers. Yvonne Hamilton
Heavenly Father I lift up June
to you in prayer. She had to have carotid artery surgery recently due to having a 90%
blockage. It has been three weeks since she had the surgery and she thought she would be
feeling much better by now. Nothing keeps her down for long but this has really gotten her
down both physically and mentally. Last week she had to have a clot which had formed
removed and that set her back, as the doctor had to make another incision in order to get
the clot out. She has no appetite and her energy level is very low. Lord I ask that you
wrap June in your arms of love. I ask that you cover her with your healing power from
above. I ask that you give strength to her body and restore her energy level. I ask that
you draw her close to you. I ask for complete healing. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Heavenly
Father I lift up Hilda to you in prayer. Praise to you Lord when she broke
her hip at the age of 84 she miraculously healed faster than anyone the doctors had seen.
She ended up going home and doing everything she did before breaking her hip. Now Lord I
come before you again on behalf of Hilda. About two weeks ago she came down with a
bronchial infection and seems to be just giving up. She doesn't like going to the doctor
because she has no medical or prescription coverage. For her to be able to go she has to
take from her grocery or utility money. I ask that you give comfort to Hilda and draw her
close to you. Lord you are the great physician and no payment is required for your
services. We live in a world where everything is about money, if you don't have money you
can't get medical care or drugs that are needed for treatment when you are ill. In your
word you say that we are to care for the sick and the needy of this world but I find that
doesn't apply as it should. Doctors will turn you away if you don't have the money for
their services. I ask that you cover Hilda with your healing power from above. I ask that
you give strength to her and heal her completely. I ask that you make provisions for her
to receive the medical care that she needs in times of illness. I ask that you wrap her in
your arms of love. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Update 2/7
God is so good. Hilda has
gone home and is doing fine now. She thinks she almost died, and so do I. I know the power
of prayer, and I know that you folks are good Prayer Warriors. I wouldn't have hooked up
with you as a Prayer Warrior if I did not believe in you all. God be praised.
He is still on the throne. Hilda said for me to tell you all that she surely can't
thank you enough. I can't either. Judy and I were both so afraid. Pat
Heavenly
Father I lift up Savannah to you in prayer. This precious child was born
last fall with only one leg. She also has a tumor that has proven to be cancerous. She has
been going through chemotherapy treatments for months. Her doctors have referred her to
Duke University. The doctors there have determined that they can perform surgery and
remove the tumor. Her parents as well as other family members will be going to the
University this weekend. Surgery is scheduled for Monday, February 5 to remove the tumor.
The last test results at the University showed that the tumor had not grown since she
stopped chemotherapy which was about six weeks ago. Test also showed that the cancer
wasn't found anywhere else. Right now her weight stands at thirteen pounds which is good.
Lord I ask that you wrap this precious child in your arms of love. I ask that you give
wisdom to all the doctors and medical staff caring for Savannah. I ask that you guide the
surgeons hands and bring Savannah through with no complications and completely healed. I
ask that you give her strength and a speedy recovery. I ask that you give comfort to her
parents and loved ones during this difficult time. I ask that you wrap her parents in your
arms of love and give them strength and peace. I ask that you draw each one close to you.
I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Update 2/6
God is awesome! Thank
you Jesus!!!!!! This is the little baby! Subject: Praise/Update/Savannah 2-06-01Tuesday
What wonderful, fabulous news to open our mail to this this morning!! (: Thank You Lord
Jesus!!! And thank you "all" who have faithfully petitioned with prayer for this
beautiful child . .Donna. Trudy just called. Got the tumor out in one surgery. Able to
save her leg. Did not have to do anything to ovaries or pelvic area. Had to take a little
tip of spine, but not big deal. Temporary colostomy. All her other organs are fine. She
looks great. Praising God.
Update 4/2
Savannah is at
Duke University and had her colostomy removed yesterday. They will probably be there until
Sunday. Pray for a quick recovery for our baby and for comfort for her during the
healing process. Also for strength, love and patience for Wendy and Scott in dealing with
the staff at Duke and just the situation in general. God has been so very faithful to them
and our entire family. We are humbled and grateful to all who have taken time to pray for
us all during this time and how we've seen first hand God's mighty work in our precious
Savannah! Update 8/19/01
Hello once again prayer warriors. This is a very special prayer request. (Although all
requests are special) Just about a year ago, we sent a prayer request out all over the
world for SAVANNAH DUKE. She was around a couple of months old. Savannah was
born with only a right leg. She lost the left leg due to a large tumor that stopped the
leg from developing. After she was borne, the doctors told the family that the tumor was
malignant. To sum it up, Savannah went to surgery and they took the tumor out and it
wasn't malignant. A MIRACLE FROM GOD! Most of you had a BIG PART in
that miracle. Prayers went out all over the world. God honored those prayers. She ended up
called "The Little Angel" all over the world. That she is. Now, I've said
all of that to say this. Savannah NEEDS your prayers again. The letter below is from her
dad. He & Wendy are seeking your prayers. Let us together send this prayer all over
the world. Send it to your churches, prayer groups, friends, family, etc. I would like for
you to send them a note of prayer or encouragement and let them know that you are praying
for them. Please tell them what state or country you are from. It just does something for
you when you know who or how far the person is praying for you. Send the REPLY TO:

This is Savannah's grand parents. When Savannah goes for the MRI, I will ask
them to give her parents all of the replies for them to read. WOW! What a blessing and a
comfort. that will be. Thank you so much Ralph4God Dear Friends,
Savannah is doing great, growing like a weed, and running us
ragged. This is why the news we received tonight is especially discouraging. We went
to Duke a month ago for an MRI and for a visit with her doctors. They did not have time to
read the MRI, which we had done here in Greenville, but said she looked great, and at
first glance, the scans did too. A week later, the head
surgeon called us back with news that there was some of the tumor left. This news alone
was not too terribly surprising as he had said after the surgery there was a possibility
that they were unable to get it all. The difficulty lies in its location. It
is deep inside of her pelvis, but as tests would show, benign at the present time.
It is still the same tumor she was born with, so its growth eventually to turn to
malignancy is almost a given. The residual damage that was miraculously avoided
during the first surgery (bowel/bladder damage, hysterectomy, etc.) would be of much
greater concern with the second surgery. Doctor Rice told us he would talk with his
colleagues and other specialists around the country and give us a call in a week or so.
His nurse called Wendy yesterday and told her we had an appointment for another MRI and
visit September 17th and 18th, two months sooner than originally planned. Wendy
asked why, but the nurse didn't know. Doctor Rice then called us tonight, he said
that as a collective decision, they were probably going to have to gone in and take the
rest of the tumor out. In doing so, they will probably have to do a hemi-pelvectomy,
which means removing the left side of her pelvis, and also remove what they were able to
save of her left leg during the first surgery. Once we find out after the 2nd MRI, if the
tumor is growing, we will know how quickly they will need to perform the surgery.
Doctor Rice has offered, even recommended that we get a second opinion. He
mentioned Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and New York. This will not take place until
after our visit to Duke next month. Until then, there probably won't be any news, and it
will be business as usual, if that's possible. We simply must not take any time for
granted. Much has been said about our "strength" during this whole ordeal.
Many have told me they admired Wendy and me for the way we have handled things.
Let me be honest with you. We've done nothing of our own accord. I take that
back. On the days when I felt like all hope was lost, I realized I was also trying
to do everything myself. Our "strength" has not been our own but of God.
Neither Wendy nor I have what it takes to have gone through what we have the last
year. I give God the credit for us simply being able to get by day to day, much less us
overcoming what we have faced. Now, as we begin what is sure to be a bumpy ride for the
next little while, we ask for your help. It was your prayer and support that helped
us the first time, and we will require even more now. When we went to Duke last
month, they had to take blood, and the nurse had difficulty finding a vein. She dug
around in her arm for a minute and a half or so. I was holding Savannah, and she was
screaming with tears rolling down her face. She was looking at me as if to say,
"Daddy, please help me." My love for her grows daily, so it's not out of
line to say I love her more now than I did in February. This time around is going to be
much more difficult than the first one. We will let you know more as we find out
more. Until then, just look at this beautiful baby girl (of course, I'm not biased),
and please
pray for her daily. Thanks for your support.

hospital stay who ran a lot of test on him, some spots were found on his liver. He is
scheduled to have an MRI on Monday, February 5. Lord I ask that you wrap Mattie and her

Dolores's mother financially where needed. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

way of the accusers. Lord I don't know the circumstances in this case but you know Lord. I
ask that you keep Sharon in your loving care. I ask that when her court case
comes up that truth will prevail. I ask that you draw Sharon close to you. I ask in
the name of Jesus. Amen.

Subject: Earth Quake Hits India FROM REV. PAUL JESUDOSS & MRS. FLORA INDIA.
26/JAN/01.
GREETINGS FROM EARTH QUAKE INDIA.
We are in fear and worry that what will happen to us in future. The earth quake belt
is extended up to our place. Today's quake swallowed so many thousands in Gujarath,
Pooji. This is a natural disaster. Even if one fears quakes, one has to face it. We
are a rescue team with students and youth rushing to Gujarath tomorrow. We are
planning to distribute food and water to children and aged people for a few days. We
have been monitoring earthquakes for a long time. Actually last week Khavda a border
town of Kutch, experienced tremors that measured 3.0 and 4.0 on the Richter Scale. We were
aware of the movements beneath the fault zone of the Kutch. These activities
continue under the surface of earth. But we can't say anything before it jolts us
with tremors of higher magnitude. This is a natural phenomenon and unpredictable.
This time according to our estimates, it was 7.0 on the Richter scale and rocked the
total area of western India. Electricity and phone lines have collapsed. The Rapid
Action Force has been called out in Ahmedabad, even as Friday morning's earthquake
claimed 194 lives in the city. Elsewhere in the state too, the body count has
been mounting steadily. In Bhuj, near the quake's epicenter, 150 people have
been killed in the earthquake, and official sources fear that this toll could
shoot up. Other parts of Gujarat that have reported loss of lives are Surendranagar,
Surat Patan and Navsari. In Ahmedabad City the Shardaben hospital has reported 520
deaths, the civil hospital has reported 51 deaths, LG hospital 27, VS hospital 47,
and Jivraj Mehta, 10 deaths. Many high-rises have collapsed in Ahmedabad City, the
worst of them being the ten story Shikhar building. The worst damage is feared in
Ranip area of the city. At least 30 buildings are feared to have collapsed. In fact,
so bad is the situation in the city, that Lakshmi hospital has run out of space and
has taken to treating patients on the road outside. The Morbi engineering college
has crashed, and many students are feared trapped in the debris. It is feared
some 100 students of the Swami Narayan school at Mani Nagar in Ahmedabad are trapped
under the debris of the school-building. Dispatches from Gujarat: 'We saw death.
According to Sheth, some 80 PC of the buildings in his village, which has a
population of 4000 have collapsed and at least 250 people have been severely
injured. They have been taken to hospital in Morbi, some 35 km away, a talk
headquarters." Our village is a small one. Most of us are farmers, simple
people, and unfailingly we attend the Republic Day function. That was what saved our
lives today, all our children are safe because they were in the open meridian for
the flag-hoisting ceremony." Sheth himself was at home in the morning when he
felt the earth move beneath his feet. "I was shocked. I rushed to the road. When I
looked back, my home was still shaking. Out of sheer fright I fell down, and
couldn't understand what was wrong with me. Like a child I crawled on to the
road. After five minutes I got up and ran out of the village. On the road
there were many others like him. I saw all my neighbors running away. We were
not just nervous, we were frightened. Ame to Mrityu Joyu (we saw death). My
brother saw some three, four persons dead on the way. We are still scared. We have called
from far away but the government is not around to ask about our welfare. People are
hiring tempos to ferry the injured. In my village alone five people have died.
Falguni Sheth, Our village has been reduced to dust (dhulman mali gayu).I was having
breakfast when I got up to drink water, and I felt the tremors. I don't know how
to convince you about what we went through. Everywhere around me the destruction is
total. "When the earthquake started I took my grandmother out of the house. We
could not see a thing because the air was full of dust. Houses were collapsing, and
at one time it was so dark. I looked I could not see my ba (mother) and grandmother
for a few minutes, it was so scary. At present we are sitting in this compound, with
just a telephone instrument, since our relatives are calling us up from Bombay.
We returned here to talk to them. All the buildings around us are broken,
demolished or damaged beyond repair." SO KINDLY HELP IN THIS TIME OF TRAGEDY. PAUL
& FLORA.

her right breast. Lord I ask that you wrap Jennifer in your arms of love. Right now she is
very scared. Breast cancer runs in our family and her mother had a long bout with it
before she left this world to be with you. I ask that no cancer be found in her breast or
her female organs. If surgery is needed for healing I ask that you guide the surgeons
hands and bring her through with no complications and completely healed. I ask that you
draw Jennifer close to you. I ask that you remove her fear and replace it with peace and
faith. I thank you for her salvation and I thank you for giving me this wonderful cousin,
I love her very much Lord. I ask that you keep her in your loving care and bring her
through this. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Update 3/2
Update
on Jennifer, they called her in for more pictures of the area they wanted to do a biopsy
on, and guess what? No surprise thank God they did not find anything. They
took a sonogram and still nothing. So they are not going to do the biopsy. Talk about an
answer to prayer. Thank you everyone for your prayers. God is an Awesome God! God Bless!! Vista Bernice

keep both mother and son in your loving care. I ask that love prevail over anger. I ask in
the name of Jesus. Amen.

Hi Charlotte, My ankle
is looking better- told the Drs. office that if I had to have a biopsy I wanted my
dermatologist do it. I have an appointment March 1. Patty
Heavenly Father I lift
up Linda to you in prayer. Linda is still having some problems with her foot
and is still unable to wear a shoe due to ulcers caused from diabetes. Her attitude and
spirit is great, Friday, January 26 she will be going to the doctor to see if the ulcers
are healing. Lord I ask that you keep Linda in your loving care. I ask that she leave the

I ask for complete healing. I ask that you keep Jim in your care Lord and give him
strength to care for Linda. I ask that you draw them both close to you. I ask in the name
of Jesus. Amen.
1/28 Update
Charlotte, Its
amazing what praising and prayer can do. If you recall Linda had her Dr. appointment today
January 26 regarding her foot. She made out extremely well! The doctor said the foot has
healed beyond the point where she expected it to be. In addition she stated that she may
even be able to start wearing a shoe again in a couple of weeks if the healing continues
at this pace. Thanks you and the prayer group for all the intercession. We really
appreciate it. In Christ, Jim Bart
Update 2/2
Charlotte, Just a quick note to
say THANK YOU and PRAISE THE LORD!! Linda got the OK from the Dr. today to finally wear
her shoe on the right foot. She said "Boy does it feel funny. It's almost like
learning to walk again." The Dr. wants to see her again in 2 weeks but I am to
monitor her entire foot daily to see if there are any signs of a new developing ulcer. If
there are none at the time of the next visit Linda will be on her own. I needed to share
this answered prayer with you since you and the group have been excellent in upholding us
in prayer over the past several months. We really appreciate it. In addition, you will
never know the problems a caregiver faces unless you are one. The knowledge that your
prayers were behind me also helped keep me going. Please feel free to share this with
everyone in the prayer circle and continue to keep me on your prayer list as I appreciate
being a servant. Thank you, In Christ, Jim Bart
Date: 2/19/01 12:28:45 AM Eastern
Standard Time Charlotte, I feel I need
to let you know as soon as possible that I do not have good news to share concerning my
wife Linda. In short, she passed from this earth into eternity this morning about 9:00.
Her complications due to sugar was not the problem. Linda passed away from a pulmonary
embolism (blood clot that settled in the lungs). Her passing was quick and with no pain. I
was there and CPR did not work. Please pray for us as we make arrangements and go forward
this week. God Bless You and keep you in His care. Jim Bart.
Update 3/22
Charlotte, Just a quick note as I have so busy I don't quite know which
way I am going. I am back to work full time now even though my concentration and
attention levels are not the same. I have tried to send out the "Thank You"
notes and pay bills and have made some headway. The hard part is cooking. While the Sunday
School group of our church has me covered 2-3 times a week with meals thru Easter I still
need to figure out how to bake and cook on the inside oven/stove. The outdoor grill is
easy to master in comparison with this stove. To admit it I'm still scared!! The Lord has
been great however, and I am making it through each day since Linda's passing. While He
has closed a number of ministry doors on me recently for doing His work He is opening
numerous other ones. Since her passing I find I am much more bolder in presenting His
gospel and asking the question" Are you ready to go home?" If not why not? I
have also been able to share a number of different things that I put down on paper the
night after the funeral. I shared these items with a group of men at a recent men's
retreat from our local church and from this I have received a number of requests to share
this testimony to other classes and possibly even on a local television program. Please
pray for me here as the Lord can really use this for His honor. When I have the chance in
the next few days I will share these same things with you and Ginny and even Chick.
Perhaps it can be used on the Internet. As you can see, God is using me more than before
but I need to listen to His voice in the silence of my empty home. I rejoice in knowing I
will see Linda again but the human pain and agony at times is only relieved by the faith I
have in the Lord. As I said I will write more later but continue to pray for me since I am
in need of it. I can feel its power in getting me through each day. Also I am sorry for
not writing sooner but I was down. Thank you for understanding--I appreciate it. In
Christ, Jim Bart
Update 5/30
Charlotte, Things are
going relatively good. By that I mean spiritually and mentally. Physically, I am having a
hard time sleeping lately because I am too tired I think. As you know, I have the tendency
to push myself to the extreme limit and then think about sleep. I believe this is my
problem right now and I am trying to slow down. I am even trying to quit working on a
project when I start feeling tired rather than completing it all in a days time. As you
know, either that project or another one will be there tomorrow. Also I am a firm believer
in what you said as far as God revealing himself and his desires soon. Why? because as you
know I prayed the Prayer of Jabez and God has definitely enlarged my territory. In the
fall I will be launching new ministry at Calvary regarding the grieving process from a
Christian perspective. The only problem with this is that I can only provide the male
perspective. So I have prayed that God would lead me to a Godly woman who has also lost a
spouse and whom also may be able to contribute to this program. I believe He will do this
for me in His time. Then who knows where He will lead. In addition to this ministry I have
also talked to several groups and Sunday School classes regarding Death and Marriage. In
this talk I let my guard down a little and share my life testimony and the things I miss
about my wife. This is so that these couples can appreciate each other more. In the end, I
have received several Thank You notes regarding the new focus I have given them regarding
their marriages. If you know of a group that needs a speaker and if God leads----I would
be more than willing to address them regarding something of this nature. I have also
appeared last week and this week with Terry Faulk and Jerry DePoy (local pastors) and
"the Voice of Fundamentalism". The local TV program on channel 40. The topic
evolved again around death and marriage and the appreciation of your mate. Several good
comments were also made. This weeks segment will air at 8.30 on Channel 7 cable tonight
and again at 12.30 on Sunday. Tonight I have a team meeting regarding a
DeColores (Cursillo) week end that I will be working. Please be with me in prayer for this
week end since the person in charge has asked me to not only give the Piety talk
(the main talk of the week end) but also to do the chapel visit following. A great and
awesome responsibility!! I remember Paul saying in Philippians---He who began a good work
in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. So be with me that His will be done
in this talk. As you can see Charlotte, I have no problem keeping busy ------ physically
or spiritually. GOD is Working!!!! God Bless!!
Jim
Heavenly
Father I lift up Amber Rose to you in prayer. She is scheduled to have major
surgery Thursday, January 25. I do not know the details of the type of surgery but Lord I
know that you will be with her and that is all that matters. I ask that you wrap Amber in
your arms of love. I ask that you guide the surgeons hands. I ask that you bring her
through the surgery with no complications and completely healed. I ask that you draw her
close to you. I ask for a speedy recovery. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Update 2/7
Thanks
for the message. I am up and around for short times. Still have lots of drainage from the
wound and it is a messy business. I see the doctor again on Monday and will know more
then. For some reason, the incision is not closing up all the way . most of the way . . .
but not all of it. At least the fever is down and the blood clot is no longer a worry.
Thanks to all for caring and I will keep you updated. Please continue in prayer for me.
Amber Rose
Update 2/13
Good morning Charlotte,
Thanks for the note. I am not doing as well as I hoped. My incision is not healing and is
open in 3 different places. The doctor can't figure out why it is not healing from the
inside out instead of the other way around. It keeps opening up. Thanks for checking for
me. Amber Rose
Heavenly
Father I lift up Rachel to you in prayer. Rachel is in the hospital. I do
not know the full details of her situation. Pus pockets are forming in different
areas of her body. Her fever and blood pressure are stabilized. Her heart rate
remains too high. Lord I ask that you keep Rachel in your loving care. I ask that
stabilize her heart rate to normal I ask that you bring her through this illness
completely healed. I ask that you draw Rachel close to you. I ask in the name of Jesus.
Amen.
1/26 Update
Rachel's dad updated me on her condition. He told me
there are a few little steps forward and no steps backward at this time. They may take her
off the ventilator today if all goes well. They have taken her off some medication and are
allowing her to wake up a little. She's frightened and has no idea how long she's been out
of it. Removal of some of the medication allows her to be alert sometimes and they
are trying to get her to breathe deeper so they can remove the ventilator. They have also
put in a feeding tube, probably the first step in giving her some real food. She still has
a fever and they are culturing the various "sites" (don't know what he meant by
that unless it's the sites where they have drainage tubes and various other invasions).
They have drained 2 more pus pockets and it seems that according to a scan they did, her
body must have taken care of 2 other pockets. Absorbed them maybe? The scan did show
another 2" pocket and they have to determine what to do about that one. The steps are
very slow, but it's something positive. Thanks to everyone and please continue in prayer
for Rachel. Margaret Thompson
Heavenly
Father I lift up Loraine Cox to you in prayer. She is having problems with

problem that she may be having. I ask that you draw her close to you. I ask in the name of
Jesus. Amen.
1/24/01 4:52:42 PM

breathe. She went to the doctor he put her on a thread mill had to take her right off

condition. God Bless, Belle (prayer warrior)
Heavenly
Father I lift up Reverend Stefano Verde to you in prayer. He has lumps
forming in his head. One doctor said it could be tumors. Lord I ask that you keep Reverend
Verde in your loving care. I ask that you place him in the care of a good doctor. I ask
that whatever test are done that nothing serious be found. If healing is to come through
the hands of a surgeon I ask that you guide the surgeons hands. I ask that you bring the
Reverend Verde safely through with no complications I ask for complete healing. I ask in
the name of Jesus. Amen.
Update 4/3
I AM NOW FINE, THE LUMPS WENT AWAY PRAISE JESUS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
ASKING, JESUS IS ALWAYS THERE FOR ME. REV. VERDE

Father I lift up Paula and her unborn baby to you in prayer. Paula has
cancer and chemotherapy treatment has been started hoping to save her and the baby. The
doctors don't know what effects this will have on the baby. They cannot safely take the
baby for at least three more weeks. The largest tumor, the size of a grapefruit is located
at the top of the baby's head. Lord I ask that you wrap Paula and her unborn child
in your arms of love. I ask that there be no complications to either Paula or her child as
a result of chemotherapy. I ask that you place a hedge of protection around both mother

a safe delivery. I ask that you draw Paula close to you. I ask for complete healing. Lord
I leave Paula and her baby in your loving care. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

are all still praying and believing God for a miracle. Paula is really in bad condition

Paula & Baby They took Paula's baby today, February
13. A little girl and she weighed 3 lb. 9 ozs. She may be in the hospital for
another three weeks, so far no complications. They are sending the placenta on to Memphis
to the Children's hospital for testing to see if any of the cancer could be in the
little one. They also found three more places the cancer had spead to in Paula.. the
colon, the spleen, and the upper uterus.
They seem to think
the cancers are shrinking but are going to give her stronger chemo now that she is not
carrying the baby. Please continue in prayer for both Paula and little Kayla Lee (baby's
name). Keep Paula's mother Alice in prayer Of course it has shaken her knowing
the cancer has spread but she is believing God to take care and heal Paula. Peg

Paula has had so much pain that they put her back in the hospital last
week. They did another scan and found she had eight more
large knots on the spine.
She is in terrible pain..they operated and took two of them out. They were going to fly
her to California to a Melanoma specialist but she has gotten so bad they cannot move
her. Please pray for mercy for this child....... Peg
Update 3/29
Paula's baby is fine her mother has taken the baby and the her little boy
..pray for Alice and Don for Strength through this.
5/9 Update
Paula was sent home about two weeks back from California. I lose
track since I am dealing with my husband having cancer also. They found two more lesions
on the brain and had to stop the Chemo. They said it would cause her brain to swell
and it would killed her. She is now going to Birmingham, Alabama to take radiation in
hopes that it will stop the cancer from spreading in the brain. She is in a brace due to
the back surgery and it's very uncomfortable but they did put a lighter one on her this
week. Her baby had to have a hernia repair this week. So far the little one is
doing just fine. If the Radiation does not get hold of the cancer there is nothing
man can do. It's totally in God's hands. Take
care, Peg
Update
7/22/01
Paula lost her battle with cancer about three weeks ago. The family is beginning to

other organs. Haley is in the hospital and where she is being monitored and medicated, the
situation is under control. She is 24 weeks into this, they want to give the baby as much
time as they can before it is necessary to deliver surgically. Lord I ask that you wrap

that he has learned from his mistakes and that he will grow close to you. I ask that you
place a desire in his heart to learn your word and to walk in your ways. I ask that you

Good morning Charlotte, Ron has to spend thirty days in

to have his lung removed. The cancer has spread to his brain. I thank you for his
salvation. Lord I ask that you keep Dickie in your loving care. I ask that you draw him

Update 2/28
I spoke with Dickie's wife Bonnie the other day and she said that he is not doing
well. He has been seeing the doctors at Duke University. He has gotten three different
opinions one of which the doctor said that he has maybe three more months. Bonnie has not
told this to Dickie only she and her sons know. They are taking this news very hard. She
said that Dickie has told her if and when it's his time he is ready. Bonnie shared with me
that she has manic-depressive disorder and when Dickie had his lung removed last year she
suffered a nervous breakdown. she also said that Debbie, Dickie's sister is not speaking
with him even in knowing that he is very ill. This stems from a result of a family
dispute. Please keep Dickie and the family in prayer. Please pray that the Lord will open
Debbie's heart and place a desire there to see her brother and that they come together in
love and forgiveness. Bonnie also request prayer for her brother-in-law Roy Lester who has
been diagnosed with liver cancer. Thank you for your prayers In Christ Love Charlotte
Update 6/19

prayer. He is now free from suffering and pain.

Heavenly Father I lift up Glenda
Harness to you in prayer. Her precious child Austin Glenn was born November 30,

he will need surgery. First they will be removing an old pin which was placed below the

Dear
friends: Just note on what's happening with my leg. I will be seeing the doctor May 4th to
talk about what he is going to do. Then I am put on a waiting list. Love Dave
Howe
Update
May 04, 2001
Dear friends - update on my leg. Had my appointment at the hospital today.
The doctor said that there is no more medication that will work with me. They can take the
old pin out of my leg - but it is so old it will take a lot to get it out - It has been in
my leg for over 30 years - Then I will have to recover from that before they can do
anything else - That next thing is to put a new hip in. This will be high risk for me for
It could restart the old disease that caused the leg trouble in the first place - Also
there would be a high risk of a blood clot and a high risk of nerve damage. He told me
that he could not do that operation - He would have send me to London to a big specialist
hospital. He said that the new hip would only last for ten to fifteen because I am still
young and active. Then it would have to be done again which would be even more high risk
for me than the first time. The doctor is making an appointment for me to see the hip
specialist in London . Afterwards he would like to see me again here in Margate before
anything is done. I felt very sad at what I was being told - More long months or years of
pain I thought - At the time - I will not be able to go to America next year. I said
to myself "I need a miracle" And I will still go to America come what ever
happens. So that's all for now - Time for a miracle.
