Blow The Trumpets Of Zion

I've had the people devastated by an earth quake in Haiti and Chili in my prayers today and as I've been praying the Holy Spirit has put a vivid image in my heart and mind.  We had a heavy hearted prayer intercessory Friday night and prayed fervently and cried out for revelation and for our nation to come back to righteous  living, a revival for our hearts to turn back to God.  Our Pastor, Jerry Nelson cried a heart breaking cry for Christ's church body.  The darkness in this world surrounds us, and we need more than ever to come together in one spirit and pray for anointing, and empowerment to finish Christ's work. The church is changing before our very eyes.  We discernment more than ever.

I was meditating today on what Jesus said about John the Baptist.  He said, "I tell you that Elijah has already come.  John prepared the way for Christ.  That Elijah spirit is heavy on us.  It's not about shouting and receiving our blessings.  It's about us teachers and ministers preparing the way for the great meeting in the air when he will snatch us up in the twinkling of an eye.  Jesus' prophecy of the end time is at your door. He's standing outside his church knocking to come in.

Pray today for our churches to unit in the spirit of Elijah.  Let our hearts become overwhelmed for Him.  Let us build an altar and lay our worldly mess on it.  It's dark, as dark as pitch black, people can not see the light. Pray for righteousness and coming back into covenant so our flames will be bright enough for the lost world to see. Pray for a fresh anointing and strengthening to finish the race.  We're almost home church, don't grow weary of nay sayers, persecutions, and sin among us, but let our love for Him overwhelm us so we run our last mile home.

In the Jewish wedding, the groomsmen blow the trumpet and run through the streets shouting, "the groom is coming, wake up, the groom is almost at your door, get the bride adorned.  Let us get faithful again, let us stay fresh with fine linen and precious jewels, with our oil lamps full.  The Groom is coming for that unblemished bride.  The earth is groaning with labor pains for the hour has come to fulfill His promise to us.

Praise Report: Trey Williams: Trey is a young man in his early twenties that works at Sandoz that hasn't had the Lord on his mind the last 5 years. He came to my husband last week and asked him to ask me what kind of bible to buy, he wanted to start reading the bible.  He began to tell my husband a miracle story of how his grandmother came out of a semi-comatose state last week.  He said she used to take him to Sunday School growing up and prayed for him.  Trey's mother and an aunt never stopped praying for their mother, and she just became focused and began talking last week. She couldn't talk, walk or feed herself for five years. Not only did a miracle occur through this praying but the grandson has been led back to Christ as a result.  Praise God!  We have miracles and healings in our midst, we need to use our spiritual eye to see them and praise Jesus for His manifestations.

Praise Report: James Selvedge:  James is another miracle story.  He's in his eighties and about two weeks ago he fell ill and had to go into the hospital.  The doctor's called the family in and told them that they did not expect him to survive.  His breathing and heart was stopping.  Pastor Jerry Nelson went to pray for a healing over him.  Pastor Nelson said he looked like he was about to go.  Well, a couple of days later he woke up and started talking and said he was ready to go home. His son Blue just was overjoyed with this miracle from God. The doctors were like, whats really going on here.  Well, we have another doctor in our midst and His name is doctor JESUS!

Prayer Request: Carlos Tyndal:  Carlos is at Duke Hospital and has been diagnosed with Guillain-Barre'.  That is a disease and causes infection through the body and disturbs the neurological functions that shut down the muscular system which affects the breathing.  This disease has to be treated in the hospital and the patient does recover but it lengthy and they are very sick.  Please pray for God to speedily heal him and to take care of his family financially as they go through this difficult time. Carlos's wife is a secretary at Wilson Praise and Worship Center  and Carlos is a good Christian friend to my husband and a coworker who has lifted him up in the Lord at different times, and now I pray for everyone to lift him up.

Prayer Request from Jennifer McKeithan for Dr. David Richardson who is at Southeastern Regional Medical Center battling with Parkinsons disease. Pray for the Lord to strengthen his nervous system and heal him.

Prayer Request: Rhonda Rankin: She has pulled a muscle in her back.  God healed me last week of an injured knee and if he can heal me Rhonda, he will heal you, in Jesus name!

Prayer Request from Lisa Hunter:  Lisa has a friend whose husband was killed a couple of weeks ago.  He was a deputy sheriff in Henry county and was shot to death.  Lisa's friend is going through the worst kind of crisis and they have two young teenage children. Pray for this family that Jesus' spirit will be with them and walk with them through this valley of the shadow of death, and pray for resolution to come with forgiveness and strength to live again without their father.  Pray for God to bless this family financially with the loss of the husband and provider.  Oh, our hearts go out to them with much prayer and love, and support. We pray for Henry County Sheriff's department in their time of grief and loss of one their own. Evil does touch our lives and when it does the love of Christians is needed more than ever. Pray for all of our law enforcement for God to put a hedge around them as they battle evil through crime everyday.

Prayer Request: Earl Flores: healing

A Season For Renewing Life

Sometimes light comes just before the dawn.  It seems dark in that hour, and that is when we hold onto our faith and promises more than ever.  That is the time we need to lift our voices to the Lord again and again. What we refuse to give up on we will see manifestation from.

We have been through a hard season of sacrifice, praying and fasting.  We have planted a lot of seed for others at the Altar and have come into agreement.  We are in the rest now, and my brothers and sisters, the season of life renewal is in the air.  We have let the seed go and I'm full of faith and expectation that those seed are about to sprout and multiply of their own kind.

As God moves on the people's lives we have prayed for, we will tell of His mercy, grace, miracles and healing power.

Praise Report:  Steve Saunders: Steve went into a coma from an unexpected illness.  After much prayer for him and doctors not having a very good report,  he suddenly came out of the coma.  Not only was he awake, but he knew his children when they came to see him that night.  We praise you Lord for that miracle healing and we magnify you for your Glory that we got to witness through Steve.

Praise Report: Keith Hobgood:  Keith had an infection from lung surgery that went to his brain.  Doctor's say only 30% of patients like Keith survive.  Keith lost his normal speech and was beginning to affect his thinking process.  He was given long term antibiotics.  Keith did survive and there was lots of prayer for him as he is a single parent of two young boys and they needed their father to help them grow up.  You know, God cares about the details of our lives, and He will move on them when we take our concerns to Him.  I praise God that Keith received his healing and he is with us today to tell of God's healing power.

Praise Report: Mike and Laurie:  Now this miracle right here is going to fill you with hope in this poor economic times.  Mike has a heart condition that went bad a few months ago when doctors mixed a medication on top of Cummidun he takes regularly.  His wife laurie, also had to have a hysterectomy two months ago.  They both have healed from their physical problems but were left strapped financially.  Laurie works at the bank and Mike had been trying to finish up a teaching degree.  Well, when they went to pay hospital bills, her insurance covered most of it, but she got to looking at a policy they had from sometime back.  She called the company and asked them if she could file against that policy.  They told her yes.  She just received a $22, 000 dollar check in the mail. She thought the policy had lapsed.  Mike received his degree last month and is now been hired by the community college to teach.  When you don't know where something is coming from or think it is impossible, that is when God will reach down and fill your barns with a blessing so big that you know it could have only come from HIM.  Well, Glory!

Praise Report: Baby Hogan:  Hogan is a baby doctors have said most likely would not be a live birth.  He has a whole in his heart and he has a rare condition that prevents him from growing.  The doctors have had to back down on a couple things concerning Hogan.  To their surprise he is growing in the womb. Now they are telling the parents to expect a live birth and probably will take him home.  I wanted to jump up and down when I heard this report of  Hogan.  You see, the natural has to back down to the supernatural. Everybody, please keep speaking life over Hogan, he is going to be a passover birth, and he will defy more doctor's reports.  Also, pray for his mother.  She has a thyroid condition that was found during early pregnancy and can not be treated until after Hogan's birth. Please pray for her complete healing as well.  She is a very special  woman of God.

Herbie Ellis Family:  We were praying for Herbie's healing of cancer that was inoperable, and two days later he passed.  His son, Kyle said, he got his healing, he is with the healer now.  I keep thinking of the perfect health he is in now. This has affected Kyle's life greatly.  He and his wife are a young married couple with two small children and they have given their lives to Christ and are faithful in their walk.  Pray for them that God will strengthen their minds in him and they will have a Christ filled marriage covenant. I pray for more young couple like them to come back into the church.

Praise Report:  Edna Pearson:  Edna was experiencing some weak episodes and she went to the doctor and they set her up for a stress test to see if maybe she had some heart issues.  Well praise God, she passed that stress test with flying colors.  Sometimes we hear something from a doctor and we just know that is not what is in our faith or our inheritance promises and know that you can defy what may look like one thing in the natural, but God's word says it's another.

Debra Collins: Sometimes stresses can come down on us so badly that we know we can't get through them without God's strength.  When pressures come at you from many different angles, know that God has already gone before you, and we can have the strength to get through them when we rest in HIM.  Debra is my sister in law and I love her very much, and I know God is about to do a wonderful thing in her life this season. She lost her husband not long ago, and she has a sister that is going through a hard time, but God has already made a way for both of them.  Melissa is going to walk into a newness as well.  I speak that truth over both of them today, because God says it's so!  Melissa went through knee surgery two weeks ago and she is doing well, She had an infection that had set in her knee, so they had to take out her knee replacement and get the infection out and she will be getting a new knee in a few weeks.  I lift them both up to the Lord and I pray God's healing, strength and blessings on both of them.

Donna Pate:  Donna has a thyroid condition that is just beginning to be treated.  Pray for her as doctors decide the medication and treatment for her. 

Wayne West and James Selvidge: These two men are prisoners in North Carolina prison system that we continue to pray for.  They both have given their lives to Christ while incarcerated and have some good solid plans to serve him when released.  Continue to pray for their release and for God to use them as powerful witnesses for Him.

MOUNTAIN MOVING PRAYER

     I was reminded today by a friend in Florida, Vicki Neely, of something Pastor John Bevere preached at her church; that trials are stepping stones for God to draw us closer to our destiny and assignment the Lord will establish by his word as we travel  in our journey in this earth for the purpose of declaring Him and drawing ever near to Him. We all should desire to experience the communion in his presence as he comes to us in the cool of the evening and dwells with us, to tabernacle with us through His son, Jesus, our High Priest. 


    Yet we kick, and feel depressed, feel hopeless and  burdened when we are faced with tests and trials.  Know that it is God's way of perfecting us so we can reflect Him in us,  perseverance and relying on His strength and not our own is what we are to desire and put into practice.   Paul tells us to count it all joy when these things come, because the perfecting of us. His righteousness is the goal and no one promises that it is an easy journey to allow ourselves to be consecrated unto him.  When we have emptied ourselves for him to fill us, he promises fullness in Him,  and abundant life, and a joyful, peaceful rest in him that I race forward to in eagerness to obtain.


     It has been a journey, with a deepened experience of his power and love this past week in the first week of fasting and staying in constant prayer for others and soaking in his word and learning anew the benefits of His Kingdom that He died to give to us.   So many prayer requests and needs have come before us.  I know in my heart as I pray for each person on this prayer list that their circumstance could be mine and some of them have been mine and I take that responsibility of love with a diligent zeal in lifting my voice in prayer and petitioning, and intercessing with a loud cry from my belly, receiving what Jesus says I have and you have, and proclaiming healing, deliverance and miracles for each of your lives.


     Please pray with me for each of these prayer requests because God is going to open many doors with the people on this list, and many of the prayer needs here could not be answered without faith in  prayer and fasting.  I rejoice and gladly become a living sacrifice for deliverence, healing and renewed lives through Jesus Christ our Lord, the same healing, deliverance and newness he gave me in his grace and great mercy. I pray now that the far reaching love, without boundaries or limitations,  will touch each and everyone on this list. I thank you now my Lord for answering these prayers, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.  This healing power is open to you today and during the rest of this prayer intercessory time and fast,  so if you have a need of healing or deliverance now is the time to bring it to the Lord.  Giving, prayer, and fasting is a three fold powerful process that opens the heavens on your behalf because as John 3:16 simply puts it, for he gave His only begotten son that whosoever shall believe in him will not perish but have everlasting life.  If you've got only a grain of faith the size of a mustard seed, then ask and you shall have whatever you ask of him in his precious NAME, the name above all names in this world and the worlds to come.

God has a miracle waiting for Hogan as soon as he takes his first breath.  HE WILL LIVE as a first fruit birth and he is a Passover birth, and his life will begin in one of God's holiest seasons.  Keep your eye on this baby because Hogan will live and show God's glory and his life will defy all doctors reports through the power and  blood of Christ!

Life Changing Prayer

BELIEVERS MINISTRY PRAYER LINE

Good morning my friends!  I had a great holiday break and spent much time in personal prayer of where the Lord wants to lead me as the educator of Believers Ministry, Inc.  Later this week I will do a newsletter to inform everyone of all that Believers Ministry will be doing this year.  I can tell you now that my spirit is filled with the work of prayer intercessory.  I am very excited about connecting to everyone again and connecting to new friends and lifting everyone up in the Lord.

On January the 10th I will be beginning a 21 day Daniel fast for the purpose of moving mountains in YOUR life.  There are certain mountains that require fasting in order to be pulled down. One that is foremost in my spirit is addictions and strongholds on the mind. So, if you have one of these oppressing you or a family member or loved one please get their name on the prayer list before the 10th. Faith in the power of Christ is going to move it for you in this new season.

Fasting is an element of three foundations Jesus commands us to do in our prayer life, yet churches rarely join together to do this powerful act that results in miracles, healings and the casting down of strongholds. To be an effective prayer warrior, you will encounter battles for others that will require fasting. Matthew 17:21.   It requires consecrating yourself to the Lord for the benefit of others.  Prolonged fasting looses the chains of injustice, breaks yokes and sets the oppressed free. When we obey God's commands, pray and fast, he says in Isaiah 58:8, then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear, then your righteousness will go before you and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard, then you will call and the Lord will answer when you satisfy the needs of the oppressed and hungry. He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame.  You will be like a well-watered garden and will raise up the age-old foundations, and you will be a repairer of Broken Walls.

How many of you would like for the Lord to be your rear guard this year!  I know I sure do!

That's how powerful prayer and fasting and living according to the word is.  Sometimes we get lazy about doing what the word tells us we need to do to get our breakthroughs, but I believe as more and more of us get back to the basics of Jesus' teachings we will see God move in a mighty way in our lives.  My love for each and every one of you and desire to see you and your loved ones free from oppressions wells up in my spirit like a spring flooding from the depths of my soul.  I have faith that God wants to move on our lives this year and I'm ready and bursting to turn that faith into substance with fasting and prayer! Prayer warriors get ready for a year of VICTORY!

My prayers for each and every one of you are taken from the mouth of the Apostle Paul, and I hope you read them with knowledge in your hearts and minds of how very much Christ loves you and is there to meet those very real needs.

Ephesians 1:16-23, The Lord has given you the spirit of wisdom and revelation of Jesus Christ.  I Thank Him that the eyes of your understanding are being enlightened to know the hope of your calling and the riches of the glory of His inheritance to you.  I thank him for revealing to you the exceeding greatness of His Power, which was wrought in Christ, when He was raised from the dead and set at God's own right hand.  Know that the riches of heaven are yours!

Ephesians 3:14-20, I pray God will grant you according to the riches of His glory to be strengthened with might your Spirit in your inner man.  That Christ may dwell in your heart by faith; and being rooted and grounded in love that you may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height; and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God.  The Lord is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that you ask or think, according to the power that worketh in you.

Colossians 1:9-11,  I pray that You will be filled with him with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you might walk worthy of Him, be all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing knowledge, to be strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with JOY!

Janet Taylor; infection in facial tissue

BELIEVERS MINISTRY PRAYER LINE

     I awakened this morning with a prayer on my lips for the people on today's prayer line, "Lord, just give me the faith to believe in YOUR FAITH as I bring these petitions before your altar tonight."  I remembered a verse in Psalm 107:20 that someone had said, you know a rehma word from someone that comes back to mind when you need it.  That verse says, "and He sent forth His Word and healed them."

     In Ephesians3:12 Paul said, "In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.  I ask you therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory."

     I believe that word today, and the word says the fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much!  I want everyone on this prayer list today to know that I will make the declarations His word says about your affliction and circumstance.  That uplifted spoken word is what availeth much, for whatever is released on earth will be released in heaven and his word NEVER comes back void. Be ye healed in the name of Jesus and may he comfort you in your time of need for he knows and he sees what each and every one of you are going through.

Prayer Request: Todd and O'dea Kissel

     Todd and O'dea's son, Dustin Kissel was killed in a car crash Monday.  He was a high school student in Wilson North Carolina. Please pray for this family in their time of great loss.  No one could ever know what the death of a child takes from your life.  I pray for the Kissel's to allow the Lord to walk through this valley with them, and yes He will carry you through it and comfort you in this long journey and I know He has Dustin in his care now!  The Kissel's address is 5314 Akron Road, Wilson, NC 27893 if anyone would like to send them a card or a word of comfort.  Let us also pray for the children at his school and  who are hurting this week over the loss of their friend and classmate.  It's harder I think for young people to have closure and understanding and our prayer today is for the Lord to put people their for them to help them in their grief for Dustin.

Prayer Request: Phillip Ray Baxley

     Phillip has diabetes and suffers greatly from this, his doctors are concerned that he may have to have a leg amputated if they can't get the diabetes stabalized.  Today, I serve a mighty God that can heal Phillip because what doctors say is not what God says about this condition with Phillip and I declare God's word over the affliction on his body today.

Prayer Request: Melissa Mincey

     Melissa is my sister in law and she had to go to the doctor this week as she got up one morning and couldn't walk.  She went and had some tests which indicates an infection in her knee.  Her knee was very tight and the doctor couldn't withdraw any fluid to test, but xrays indicate an infection. So, not knowing what kind of infection she is dealing with they couldn't give her an antibiotic until this coming week when they can be more conclusive.    Now Melissa is going to be at my house for a birthday dinner Sunday evening and her knee is healed as I speak this over her.  She is going to go back to the doctor next week and they are going to learn, there is no infection!  I'm going to go ahead and thank Him tonight at prayer intercessory for that healing, In the name of Jesus!

Prayer Request: Candice Halpin

     Hey Donna, Richard Brooks and I go to church with a man who is battling for his life right now and we need to cover him in prayer.  Please pass this on as soon as possible.  He had an accident when he was a boy and only has part of one leg.  Recently he has been experiencing problems with his Galbladder.  Then all of a sudden they have diagnosed him with pancreitis and his kidneys are shutting down and he is on dyalysis.  The other scary part is he developed a blood clot in his leg and from what I understand they have to amputate his leg so it doesn't go to his brain.  I am not sure at this point if it was the leg that was already a partial leg or if it is his other leg.  He needs to be covered in prayer now.  Please be so kind as to share this with your prayer team.  His name is Steve and his wife is Elisa, and they have a daughter about six years old.  Please see Richard's request below.  Thank you and may God richly bless you. Candice

Richard Brooks:  Sorry both of us out, but there is lots of family helping.  Prayers needed for blood clot in leg to stay stable, or be gone and not go to brain!  Kidneys to function and be restored.  Isaiah 53.  Would you get this to Believers Ministry prayer team?  Thanks Richard

     Candice and Richard, know that I will be pray fervently tonight for Steve and for his family.

Prayer Request: Ariel Dagastino:

     A teenagers plea:

Believers Ministry, I really need some prayers for my Mom and my family.  My Mom has had a heart attack and she is in the hospital and they are saying she may need surgery but we won't know until some tests are completed in a few days. (may know by Monday).  All of this has been scary for all of us and I just hope and pray my Mom comes through all of this with flying colors.  My Mom means the world to me and I need her still here with me.

     Ariel,  I want you to know that you have people who will lift your Mom up today for healing and the many voices that are put with your heart felt love and asking God to help her will be put before the altar in heaven where Jesus sits and intercedes for us with his mighty power and love. A heart for heart for you today Ariel.

Baby Hogan:

     Today while Hogan is still in his Mother's womb he is forming in God's perfect will.  He is another week closer to that perfection God is creating in the secret place, a child whose destiny is to be great for the glory of the Lord.

     Hogan is the baby that doctors say will not live and due to be born the first of April.  He is our miracle baby and he shall live and defy all odds the world has already placed on him, but my God has says something else about him and his birth will shock the medical doctors. In Jesus Name!

     Good morning to my friends of Believers Ministry Prayer Line.  I hope everyone had a blessed holiday.  When I look at all the prayer requests I realize not everyone is having a joyous season.  There are so many afflictions and illnesses that need to be lifted up to the Lord by voices of believers.  The bible tells us to love one another as ourselves.  I pray today that as you pray for these requests, your zeal will be as if it was one of your own family members.  For those of you who pray over these requests with Believers Ministry, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being faithful servants.  For the people who entrust me with their prayer needs, I want you to know my heart cries out to the Lord for each and every one of you! Praying for your needs is more important than praying for my own needs. I find that as I spend hours praying for others that somehow my own needs are miraculously met.


Special Prayer Request: Baby Hogan
     This request came in from Pastor Clint Harris and he writes:
"I heard from a very dear friend and brother in Christ today.  He and his precious wife are expecting a son in April.  They have received some test results back today that are very discouraging.  The doctors say the child might not survive to full term and if so may only live a few weeks.  My heart broke when I learned this news and I can only imagine the hurt they are feeling.
     With all due respect to the physicians, we are convinced that God can touch this baby and that he can be born whole, healthy and happy.
     The word says the fervent effectual prayers of the righteous man availeth much!  So I am asking every member of Believers Ministry to lift this little child up to the Lord even now as he is being formed in the secret place of his mother's womb.  Believe that our God is able and ask Him to heal this child of promise.  Pray a special touch for his mother and father, give them peace and comfort during this trying time.  Pray that God speaks to them both in His own way to reassure them.  Present this request to your members, to church groups, bible studys, friends and family.
     I am believing for a thousand people all around to lift up baby Hogan to the Lord daily.  Call his name out to the Lord.  Put him on your daily prayer list.
     I am believing that this tragic situation that the enemy has meant for these people to be evil is going to be turned completely around and give God the glory.  With God all things are possible, Amen.
     Thank you family of God for your prayers on this matter." 


     When I got this prayer request, baby Hogan pulled at my spirit, and I have been unable to stop praying for him.  After these days of the Thanksgiving holiday and praying for him each day, I realized that baby Hogan is going to be a very special miracle.  He is due to be born around the first of April, which is Passover.  He is also a first fruit.  Now these two facts about him tells me that, death WILL pass him by. Hogan's birth is planned in a blessed and Holy prepared season of God. God has quite a bit to say in His word concerning Hogan.  So I ask each and everyone of you to speak God's season of life and renewal over Hogan.  In the winter season, life is dormant, waiting for it's appointed time to spring forth it's life and light.  This is a 2009 year which means in God's calender goes through the Passover season, and the number 9 means new beginnings.  I speak that life and word over Hogan because IT IS SO! When we speak God's words back to him they do not return void, but manifest those promises to us, so Hogan is a promised child already by the word! We need only to speak what God has for him.


Prayer Request: Manda
     This request is from Peggy Newbold.  She asks prayer for her daughter, Manda, who is 26 and a mother of a six year old.  She has phenomena.  Please pray for her.  I pray Psalm 91 over her today!


Prayer Request: Lucy Pence
    "Please pray for my family for Restoration. My husband has ruined Thanksgiving before it even started all because of his hate toward certain people!"
     You know, if you have a loving family be grateful, because not all families are a loving unit.  We need to pray for families in our community and in our churches for the Lord to put a shield around their dwelling because the devil loves nothing more than to cause discord and division in the covenant marriage! I thank God everyday for the blood on my door.  We have to be very aware of the spirits we allow in our homes.  Take that anointing oil and sprinkle your home Lucy, daily if necessary and tell the devil whose home it is and who protects it.  My bible tells me that the blood covering wins out, Satan lost when Jesus went to the depths of the earth and took the key of death.  Take that key that Jesus gave you and unlock the treasures of heaven concerning your home and family! Tell the devil whose domain it is and that he has to leave!


Prayer Request: Angela Greene, unspoken request!
     Don't forget those unspoken requests because sometimes they get neglected but are very real needs!  I love you Angela, and you are in my prayers today! I pray for covering over your marriage, your work, your beautiful little girls, and where we must go in life's troubles, he is always there with us to strengthen us and guide us.


Prayer Update; Jason Dufour
     This update comes from Jason's wife Suzie. Jason was in a motorcycle accident 5 months ago that left him paralized from the waist down.   "I know a lot of people have asked for an update on Jason's progress and well, I'm a slacker sometimes.  After much reflection on this wonderful day of family getting together to enjoy each other and too much food, I figured I should tell everyone how thankful I am and how much progress Jason has made.  In one week, it will be 6 months since Jason's accident.  Six months since I sat in the NICU waiting room wondering whether I was going to lose him or not.  Wondering how he would be able to get around.  How he was going to deal with all this.  How he was going to be a mechanic again.  How we were going to walk together holding hands.  In 6 months he has gone from not being able to move without everything hurting, to getting in and out of the car by himself from his wheel chair.  We have started working on rearranging the work shop so he can get back to his tractors.  And we have met a wonderful group of support other than our great family and friends.  At Wake Med outpatient rehab there are several people with spinal cord injuries that have been a wealth of information and just great people to be around.  There has been several events put together by the NCSCIA that have been great, especially the hand cycle clinic.  The bikes are very low to the ground and powered by your upper body and an unbelievable workout.  Everything has not been roses.  He has had a lot of stomach issues which has slowed progress down some but all in all we can't complain.  And there are some days that are much worse than others (emotionally) but together with every one's support we get past those days.  We have learned how to improvise to make things happen and we can still "walk" around somewhat holding hands.
     So, in the spirit of today I am thankful for my husband being alive and his injuries not being worse than they were, and thankful for everyone that loves us, and the opportunity to wake up again today and face the 
day."
     I say that Jason Dufour has been blessed mightily to just have a loving wife by his side like Suzie.  We continue to pray for Jason's rehab and a very special for you Suzie, you are so strong and courageous!
