Miracle in September 2007

Hello Friends,

I just wanted to update you on my mom (Lula Reeves).  I just got off the phone with her regarding her doctor's appointment today.  On Monday she had an MRI, today she received the results.  Her physician told her he was expecting far worse than what he saw, and was very surprised.  The area on her kidney has not increased in size and it remains benign.  She has bladder retention problems, but compared to what they were thinking they would find, everyone was extremely happy.

I told mom that she has been on our prayer list.  She said that during her daily prayer time, she "knew people that she did not know where praying for her", she said she could feel the power of their prayers.  I told her it was our prayer team.  She asked me to express her gratitude to everyone!

Thank you, all.....from mama & me!!

Sincerely,

Monica

Miracle in September 2007

Dear Doulos Chapter Members,

Last Saturday my husband and I attended the OSL conference at All Saints’.  We were blessed by Bishop Howe’s teachings and the warm fellowship we had with other Christians.  After the Eucharist, I went for healing prayer with Sister Jean.  She prayed that I would receive healing for a digestive problem I had for many weeks and also that I would be able to “lay down” any concerns or worries I was carrying.  During her prayer, I began to cry.  By the time my husband and I returned to our pew, I was really sobbing.  I’m not sure, but I suspect the Lord was touching something more in me than just my digestive system.

My praise report is that on awakening Sunday morning, I felt much better.  Since then, I have not had any of the troublesome symptoms I’ve been having daily for a long time.  I would ask you all to please pray Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3:14-21 for me.  I need the inner strength through the Holy Spirit to be obedient to the changes God is showing me to make in my life.

Thank you so much for your ministry and prayers.  May God bless each one of you.  In the love of Jesus,

Jo Rohrbaugh

Miracle in April 2008

A Letter to the Rector

Father Al,

I know you saw me limping a few weeks ago and I was trying to ignore the pain. On Friday, the 25th of April, I did my usual two mile walk at 5 AM.  As far as I know, nothing unusual happened. I didn't fall or stumble, but that day my left hip started hurting. For six days I limped and tried not to cry out on each step. I could not sleep in my bed (I usually start the night in a recliner and go to bed after midnight when I wake up the first time.) and I could not bear to even shift around a little in the chair. On the 6th day, I finally got in to see a P.A., who diagnosed it as a torn muscle or tendon and prescribed pain pills. That was on Wednesday and so that night after communion I stopped for prayer in the chapel with Melanie Hoover of the OSL Prayer Team.

Afterward, I limped to the curb and while waiting for Ken to bring the car around, Rick Hoover came out to get in his car and stopped and put an arm around me and said a quick prayer for my healing. I went home and took one of the pain pills, (my first) and tried to go to sleep. I woke up the next morning and I had no pain. I knew immediately what God had done for me. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind. It is a first for me. I give praise and thanks to God and thanks to OSL also. The team of Hoover and Hoover is definitely a winning team.

PS: Melanie sent be a note to read Isaiah 65:24 "Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear." It is now one of my favorite verses.
