Update- Boy in a Coma

Hello Group,
I hope everyone is having a wonderful New Years. I wanted to give a quick update regarding the boy who was hit by the car a few weeks back. When we first started praying for him, he was slipping away and the doctors thought that he was going to die. However, he made a miraculous recovery and is now awake. He even recognized his friend when he went to the hospital to meet him. This was the first time that he could recognize someone without being reintroduced.
Unfortunately we were not able to get a meeting together in his room because of the holidays, but hope to soon. I am trying to get the paramedic (who works with a friend of mine) who helped save his life to come with us. He is not a believer, but is starting to ask questions about God. I am hoping that this could help show him God’s power since he also thought that this boy was going to die.
Thank you to everyone who prayed. By your prayers, God was able to intervene in healing this child.

Cathy Schroeder's Mom

Just received a phone call that Cathy Schroeder's Mom is in the hospital. She is 97 and has had two heart attacks the last two days. She is fairly comfortable and Cathy and Cliff and Kristina are with her now. Pray for Cathy to have a window of time to comfort her Mom with the Good news of Jesus as her Savior. Maybe now she will respond when before she hasn't.

Angels on stage

Joyce Meyer aslo talked about angels that apppeared to an audience member. This man was not a believer but came with his wife to hear Joyce. When she walked out on stage, he noticed that she was surrounded by people who had on white clothes just like she did. He thought they were part of a choir. Then when Joyce went up to the podium to speak, these "choir" members made a semicircle around her and lifted their arms up with swords displayed. Joyce was told of this sighting (the angels apparently were only seen by this one man)and she feels that God is true to his word when He says that He will protect us from the Evil One. I'm sure that there are a lot of miracles that help us to "see" God. Thanks for the input, Ryan

Angels Among Us

Some of you might have seen this on the Today show this morning. Below is a summary of the story and link to the video.

A 14-year-old girl with a history of serious health issues lay dying of pneumonia in a hospital room. But as her mother waited for the girl to take her last breath (after deciding to take her off life support), an image of bright light appeared on a security monitor. Within an hour, the dying girl began a recovery that doctors are at a loss to explain.

I wanted to share this with the group as a reminder that we are not alone.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and that we share the good news of Christ!

Need for Prayer

Hello Group,


I need your help. I learned last night that one of the kids with our youth group has a friend that was hit by a car (35+ MPH) a few weeks ago. He has been in a coma since then. I have it on my heart to get a group of people together and go to the hospital to pray for his recovery. I know that our prayer can help break him from his state. We are working with the family to see if they would be open to this.

I am asking that we pray for the following:

• Pray that this 7th grader to recover.


• I Pray that the family would be open to having our local team to be able to pray over him this weekend.


• Pray that members of the youth group would want to come to the hospital and pray for his recovery.


• Pray of the driver of the car and their family during this time

This is near to my heart because of the answered pray that we have seen with Caitlin. Several years ago during this same time, Payton was in Children’s hospital for a week and almost died. One of our pastors prayed over her and she instantly started to recover.

I believe that we can bring him back and Satan will not win. Please join me in lifting up this young boy.

Thank you for what you do. May God bless you all.
