Dearest Brethren, I just got off the phone with my son Benjamin. He has a friend who is not saved and the boy, Andrew, came flying by Benjamin's house at 120 mph on a motorcycle and lost control and crashed off the side of the road.
When Benjamin ran up to the boy, he was crying out, "Oh Jesus, please forgive me. Oh Jesus, I'm sorry." Andrew was raised in a Christian home and knew he was not living right. Please pray for him not to die, and for the Lord to get hold of heart in a powerful way. He is a sweet boy.
Also, Benjamin is going through some struggles and I believe the Lord allowed this to show him the fragile nature of life and the desperate need we all have for the Lord. He called me and I had an opportunity to pray with him and point him to Jesus. Please pray for him too.
Pray for the boys parents. They are sweet and the mother is frail and is permanently in a wheel chair.

Praying that our merciful God will allow Andrew another chance to serve Him... Praying for grace and comfort for his parents... Praying for Benjamin, and God's hand upon his life!
May all our boys spend their lives taking risks for Jesus, and not for foolish temporal thrills!

Miraculously, the boy only had two fractured ankles. No broken bones, no internal injuries, and they released him from the hospital last night. Just pray that they will not ascribe this to luck. It is one thing to cry out to the Lord in the passion of the momment and relegate it to good fortune later. Thank you for your continued prayers.
Ben

I'm happy that his injuries are not life threatening. I will continue to pray that the Lord will work in his life.

We thank you for your prayers, please continue to pray! Not only for physical healing for this boy, but that God will use this to draw both boys very close to God.
We pray that they will not only draw near to God, but become uncontrollably on fire for the Lord, and be a great wittiness for Christ in their town, and to everyone they know and meet.
We want the Lord o do a Mighty work here in the lives of these two boys who have been raised in good, strong christian homes.
Satan wants these two boys to be preoccupied with work and friends, he wants them to live a powerless life.
We know God is all powerful and can do over and above what we ask or think. He desires for people to draw near Him and live Spirit filled, powerful Christian lives. With God all things are possible! Amen. Eph 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Mat 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. May the Lord bless you all for your prayers and concern in this very important matter.
Love, ~ sister Darlene ~
