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
Update 3/16/2003
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.

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

Hope all is well with you! Love, Hilda

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

Love, Hilda

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.

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 All...Love Kim P

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.

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.

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.

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
Update 5/20/01
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 ALL! Your Sister in Christ, Holly

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 Sarah to you in prayer. She has ran away from home again. No one has heard from her or has a clue as to where she may be. I ask that you place a hedge of protection around this family, the flaming darts of Satan are coming from everywhere. There is turmoil all around.

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 ask that you help them through. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Sarah has been calling her friends but not family. She is OK, she has called three friends but not her mother. So we know as least she is OK. She told them she is out of town. But she is still around here 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.

We ask that you wrap her in your arms of love. We ask that you remove all turmoil from her life and give her joy. We ask for victory in the precious name of Jesus. Amen.

Dear 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
