Praise Reports

Spring 1999

Dear CHM:

I have been on your prayer list several times over the past four years. I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in a very vital (and difficult to reach without substantial risk) area of the brain. My last MRI in August showed there was not any significant change in the size of the tumor. Thank you for all of your prayers and God bless all of your prayer intercessors and your ministry.

Dear CHM:

I would like to be a prayer warrior for CHM. I have written to you twice in the past: once for prayer for my granddaughter because she has epilepsy and another time for my son and daughter–in–law who were having marital problems. My granddaughter's seizures are less frequent and not as severe or lengthy. My son and daughter–in–law are getting along beautifully and expecting their first baby. God is so good and has blessed my family in many ways. I want to help others, and I know the power of prayer.

What a resounding chord echoed in my heart as I read your article 'The Healing We Find at the Manger" (in the Winter 1998 issue of The Healing Line). On Christmas Day, I spent 12 hours in the delivery room with my son, daughter–in–law, her parents and sister. Thankfully, the baby was delivered healthy despite some complications. My thoughts went to what Mary must have gone through. The cross started at Bethlehem. Traveling from Nazareth to Bethlehem on a donkey in her ninth month, then delivering in a cold, dark, smelly stable with no midwife! After such a profound experience for me, I was blessed to be reminded of God's true love for us to take such a pitiful human form, become one of us, and ultimately die for us. What healing that brings!

Dear Prayer Warriors:

Thank you so much for your prayers for my wife. Thanks to God, my wife is still alive, although she had no good chance of surviving from the medical point of view. In February of 1997 she was diagnosed with cancer. Now, she is only suffering from the side effects of treatments. She is alive, and we are so grateful for your prayers and the never ending grace of the Lord. No more cancer has been found!

Thank you for praying for our son, Rick. His severe neck and shoulder pain of eight years was totally and completely healed. Now he is on fire for the Lord. As a fourth–year Ph.D. candidate in Clinical Psycology an School Psycology, he is praying for all of his clients and discreetly WITH some clients as he serves his internship. As a mother, I am overjoyed to pray with my son and share our journeys in Christ together.

Barbara, Delaware
