PRAYER ALERT FROM LITTLE BEAR
for Baby William
January 28, 2002

Dear friends and family,

The latest update as of today on baby William is that he is still having difficulties as expected. His brain is the area of most concern, so please keep praying for a miracle. Yesterday our daughter Aimee took little William by the hand, and the little boy responded by squeezing her finger. Very precious. Aimee then stroked the feet and baby William wiggled his tiny little feet. There are strong signs of vital life so we have not given up hope. It has occurred to me that this intricate little child who is "fearfully and wonderfully made" will need a touch of the Master's hand to pull through this. I am praying for a "Come forth Lazarus" command from Christ to raise up little William.

While flying home late last night from this weekend's ministry in California, the Lord impressed me very strongly to go and lay hands upon William and to pray and anoint him with oil. A dear family in our local church felt prompted to pay for the flight for my son Josh and me. Their gracious gift is part of the Lord's merciful grace to our family.

I am also looking forward to being reunited with Marilyn because I have only seen her for about 2 hours in the past 15 days while she has been in Colorado with Joshua, Noelle, and the baby. Please pray that I will be used by the Lord in His strength for the sake of my family.

In His Providential care,
"Little Bear"
