Needless to say, they’ve been under major attack. Mavis was hit by a motorcycle about 6 weeks ago, and is recovering from a severe concussion.  Gary may have had a heart attack a few days ago.  He “happened” to encounter a doctor while visiting another orphanage in Haiti who offered to fly him back to the States and treat him, which is wonderful! Although Mavis and Gary are aware of the great darkness where they serve, they may not have all the tools they could use in order to fight the battle.  Would you mind if I forward your teaching materials to them? I’m sure they would appreciate it!”
 
January 11  — “Gary said he would like prayer.  He’s now in the hospital in Round Rock (north of Austin), and his son-in-law, Jordan is with him this morning. Jordan’s phone would be best to use.  If this morning isn’t good for y’all timewise, please let me know.  Thank you sooo much!!  Gary’s blood pressure was very high, and he has other issues.  They’re running tests.”
 
We asked our trained Elijah Challenge co-workers Shar & Teddy Murphy in Chicago to minister healing a distance to Gary

January 11 — Teddy wrote: “I have followed up and will continue as needed.” “Thank you so much for contacting us, I have began praying for your requests and await your response to the effectiveness of prayer and healing. Distance is never a problem for healing and I will pray until complete healing has been done.”

Walking was difficult before, now it’s fine. He will have a cat scan tomorrow. They’re still trying to find the cause of the high blood pressure. He will probably go back to Haiti next week! I showed him your email. He’s very grateful. Thank you very much!”

He loves his ministry! Thanks so much again. We are also very grateful to Mr. Murphy!!”

January 20 — Gary wrote: “We are so thankful for your ministry and your commitment to ministering healing to me. Yes absolutely God answers prayer and ministers healing from a distance. When I arrived in Austin I could not walk 20 steps without trying to catch my breath and had a lot of chest pain. Many people, including you and your team prayed healing over me, God answered those prayers. I left the hospital and felt great, went for a nice walk and no pain or shortness of breath. I did leave the hospital with very high blood pressure, they put me on a different set of BP meds and they are starting to work.”
 
Gary who was hospitalized in Austin, Texas was miraculously healed from his heart condition as Shar & Teddy Murphy in Chicago “said the word” over him at a distance just as Jesus did in Luke 7:7 to heal the servant of the Centurion.
