(James 5:16 NKJV) …The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
Two weeks ago we sent out an email, asking everyone to pray for our nephew, John. He had been in a terrible car accident and was in critical condition.
During these past two weeks, John has been through very much. He has been kept in a medically-induced coma in an effort to reduce the swelling in his brain. He had severe head trauma as a result of the accident.
We wanted to give you an update. We have had many people write or call and ask us how John is doing. We wanted to reply to everyone, but we also wanted to have something to report, so we chose to wait until today to send an update by email.
As of today, Saturday, John is finally regaining consciousness. He has opened his eyes several times during the past 24 hours and is no longer on a respirator.
He knows who he is and he recognizes his Mom. So his brain functions appear to be coming back slowly.
We want to thank all of you so much for praying for John, for sending us emails of encouragement and for being genuinely concerned about him and about us.
We need to continue to pray for healing over his entire body. We need God to do a miracle and restore his motor functions 100% so he will not have to spend weeks or months in physical therapy learning how to do basic things all over again.
We are believing for a miracle. Will you continue to join us?
