Pray For Little Jared

Last fall I was a member of a online social group and came across a post by a mother asking people to pray for her little boy Jared. The name caught my attention because I have a son also named Jared and have a huge soft spot in my heart for kids.She shared that Jared, at age 9, had been found to have a brain tumor. I won't go into all of the details, but this fella was just the bravest little guy. I wrote Lora and got permission to contact Jared and for the next several months, as long as I was able to remain active on that site, I contacted him almost everyday. He couldn't hear to well but loved pictures so I and many others began sending him pictures of animals and all other types of things that would interest him. Many members of the site were good to visit him on a regular basis, trying to encourage him.Since leaving that site I have remained in contact with Ed and Lora by email. We have started a group on FB that just prays for Jared and his family. Today I received a email from Ed, which I will share. I cannot even begin to imagine what Ed and Lora are dealing with and feeling right now. The Drs have said there is nothing more than can do for Jared, it is in God''s hands. My heart breaks for them, but at the same time I know we serve a God who is just and caring and will do what is best for Jared and his family. I know God can heal him completely and I also know there are times when God says that isn't my plan. Please join me in praying for them. Ed, Jared's father, wrote:"donald we went to Cincinnati.childrens today and they found the tumor growing its in last stages we so need prayer for jared please pray they said hes in gods hands which we knew but ask god for jareds life with us,its so so hard please pray"God Bless

MVPs Pay a Visit to TEAM Ministry

Melinda and I were excited to have the opportunity to meet another MVP Team Member and her family. Reba Smith along with her husband Scooter and sons Nathan and Ashton stopped by on Wednesday December 17 for a brief visit. They were on their way to Branson, Missouri for a family vacation. We are so thankful they took a little time to include us in their family time. It was a wonderful opportunity to make a personal acquaintance with a MVP who has prayed a lot of prayers with and for us.

God Bless this family.

MVPs Pay a Visit to TEAM Ministry

Debbie Bennett, Kathy and Don Davis

TEAM Ministry was blessed by a visit this week from MVP Team Member, Kathy Davis and her husband Don. Kathy and Don live in St. Francisville, Louisiana. Joining Kathy and Don, for the weekend, was Debbie Bennett, Kathy's sister, who is also an MVP Team Member. Debbie was a surprise visit for TEAM Ministry, we didn't know she was coming and what a wonderful surprise.

We enjoyed a time together of fellowship. We talked, we laughed and we cried. We were so blessed by the visit and look forward to another time of getting together. It is wonderful to be around people who love the Lord and are committed to His work.

God Bless these families!
