Our son Mike was diagnosed with leukemia in 1981 on his 6th birthday -- 9 months after the death of his best friend, our next door neighbor's son by leukemia. The odds were a 15% survival rate at that time. It was the early '80s when our movement had very few churches and just started to have disciples in different parts of the world. People around the world prayed for the next three years as Mike went through intense chemotherapy. Chicago was planted, New York was planted, we planted Champaign, others went out. Then Mike was pronounced cured! They didn't know if he could have children from the intense chemo. Today he is married to a wonderful woman and has two of the cutest kids in the world. They serve as youth and family ministers in the Boston Church in the same regions where he went to high school.
Shortly after Mike was pronounced cured, in 1987, my wife Marcia had emergency surgery for two kinds of uterine cancer which 5 % of women survive. Again people around the world prayed. Marcia was cured and we are celebrating our 40th anniversary this year. Marcia wrote a book about it published by DPI and carried online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc. "This Doesn't Feel Like Love."
So, I am a big believer in global prayer. Prayer anytime is wonderful. I believe God loves hearing from his family around the world.
Grace and Truth,
