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
they saw some new skin forming in his groin area and that is very encouraging news. Lord I
ask that you wrap this precious little child in your arms of love. I ask that you remove
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.

Heavenly Father I lift up Randy to you in prayer. He had to be hospitalized
due to having suicidal tendencies. He is very confused and can't let go of the past. Lord
I ask that you wrap Randy in your arms of love. I ask that you place a hedge of protection
around him and keep him safe from doing any harm to himself. I ask that you remove all
thoughts of suicide and replace those thoughts with a desire to know you. I ask that
you draw him close to you. I ask that you place a hunger in Randy to learn of your ways. I
ask that you place him on the path to righteousness. I ask that you remove any bad
memories of the past and lead him forward to a life in Jesus Christ. I pray for his
salvation. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
