God Answers Prayer!!


Just 8 day ago one of our Guardians of the Vision, 10 year old Christian was run over by a pickup truck when it's driver lost control and ran inside of a church building where Christian was visiting for a celebration of children. He died at the scene along with the young teacher.

Earlier that same day, Christian attended services at the tent for his Guardian of the Vision class. During that class they were discussing the importance of being prepared spiritually to die and having your heart right with God. Christian announced that he was prepared to go but was concerned for his family, none of which had a relationship with God.

After the accident happened, Christians leaders and many of his friends went to pay their respects to Christian's family. They waited in line to pray with them and share words of encouragement. Christian's mom and siblings were angry at God for taking Christian and couldn't understand why God would take a young boy who's desire was to be a pastor.
Prayers were being lifted up by people in several different countries for this family.

Christian's friends were asked to do a program for the family, that included many of the songs and dances that Christian once did, including a favorite that his mom said he use to sing all the time. Christian would have been pleased to know that his friends were ministering to and loving on his family. They even invited the family to come to church to see where Christian learned about Jesus and had made the decision to live for Him.

This Sunday morning Christian's mom and siblings came to church and spent most of the morning being ministered to in the children's tent where Christian loved to worship and learn about Jesus (pictured above). Each one made the decision to follow Jesus and can now find comfort in knowing that someday they will be with Christian again in Heaven!

God Is Faithful and He Hears Our Prayers!!

From Friday evening on October 15th until last night, we stayed at the camp for our week in the Prayer Fortress. We fasted periodically throughout the week and spent 2 1/2 hours every 12 hours up on the 3rd level of the Prayer Fortress interceding for the specific needs of many people, as well as for the nations. We also had personal devotions every morning and group devotions 3 different times throughout the day and evening.

This was our 4th week in the Prayer Fortress, and the whole family agrees that it was the best, so far. We had an awesome week and many of our prayers have already been answered. We continue to receive emails with good reports, from those who sent us prayer requests! God is so faithful!!

It will take us another week to recuperate and get back to our normal routines, as the prayer weeks are very challenging and really take a lot out of you.....I guess we would consider it a submission of the flesh to the Spirit, and so worth it! God Is Good!

While up on the 3rd level of the Prayer Fortress we were also able to enjoy the beautiful view. I'm posting a few pictures to share with you. Enjoy!



Many Blessings!
Tim, Pam, Aaron and Emily
