HI everyone! First of all, I just want to send out big hugs to everyone who has been in prayer for me. I have felt your prayers and know that if it weren’t for them I would not be where I am right now.
To start things off, I have a new testimony to tell you. The first day that I was here one of the lymphnodes in my neck had swollen to the size of a tennis ball. It was very painful and uncomfortable. Well to the doctors surprise that same lymphnode had shrunk to the size of a quarter by the next day! It has continued to shrink further and will be gone soon in Jesus name.
The doctors here at the Oasis of Hope are wonderful Christians and have been filled with hope and love. After trying 3 different kinds of chemo I felt that a different approach was necessary. The Lord really opened a door of favor to this clinic where they offer treatment by using natural medicine and alternate treatment options. They are believing with me for total healing and have provided a faith-filled atmosphere to do so. The doctors have recommended that I be here for 18 days and so, Lord willing, I will return on Sunday the 6th of Jan. Joel and I are in agreement and I hope you will join with us to believe that when I come home it will be with a clean bill of health. God is able!
Ps. Eat your veggies!

For all of you who are standing with Amy and I in this battle I believe that this Monday is a time for further confirmation of what God is doing in Amy’s body. She will be going back to MD Anderson and running diagnostics on where her condition stands. We know, no matter what, that she is healed! Her last trip saw a complete turnaround in her situation and we look to hear more of the same this trip. Please pray for strength and favor as she travels there and back AGAIN!
This week has brought the most strength, appetite, and overall health than we have seen since her diagnosis in June. Praise God! His grace has been suffecient but the end will be a welcome relief when Jesus the Healer manifests Himself and fulfills His promise of all-ready paid for healing.
1 Peter 2:24b- You have been healed by His wounds!

Dear friends and intercessors, I know you have all been praying for my darling wife Amy and the results are showing! Today she was able to get up and greet the people at North and she has felt continually better and better over the last week and a half since prayed over at the conf. We ask for your continued prayers tom. (Mon. the 9) as she goes in for her second treatment. Pray for strength, life, and health and minimum side effects from the chemo. We still believe for total healing and I know you do to. Thanks for your prayers! We treasure them in this time!

2 Cor. 1:5- You can be sure that the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with His comfort through Christ.

Dear friends and intercessors,
I wanted to give you a quick update and let you know that all is well. I was released late this afternoon from the hospital and am now recovering at the hotel. Amy and I are in good spirits and hope to be home as soon as possible. I will write more in the next couple of days when I’m feeling stronger. His grace was sufficient for me!

Dear friends and intercessors, I am writing to you from Palm Beach, Fla. where God is moving! Today we met with our doctors to go over all test results and be brought up to speed on all that is necessary for long-term health and wellness (from a medical perspective). On coming to Fla. we knew that some form of an operaton was necessary but we were not sure what form that would take. After meeting with the surgeon this morning all has become clear as to what is going to take place.
This Thur. afternoon we will be going in for an operation that will (Lord willing) ensure dialysis access for the months and years to come. Of course, we believe that this will be a termorary measure until the full manifestation of healing in my body. God has 2 new kidneys for me and we will not stop until that has been realized in form of natural manifestation! Bottom line: please be in prayer on Thur. afternoon as we are scheduled to go in at 1 pm eastern time which is 12 pm central. Your prayers will be felt and appreciated as we walk through this small bump in the road. Hallelujah the victory is ours in the name of Jesus! I leave you with this Scripture from Rom. 8:2- For the LAW of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has set you free (me Joel) from the law of sin and death (kidney failure).
