Miraculous Provision

For those of you that have not heard yet, this past week Pastor Steve was in a serious accident. He was thrown from his horse while on a camping trip high up in the mountains. From the time that he was injured to the point when medical help arrived he had been up on the mountain for almost 5 hours. They life flighted him in to town and discovered that he had 3 broken ribs, a collapsed lung, a shattered spleen, a lacerated pancreas and liver and bruised kidneys.
The amazing thing has been how the grace of God has preserved his life clear back from time of injury continuing even now. On the mountain his vitals remained strong despite internal bleeding for that length of time, he never lost consciousness, once he reached the hospital his shattered spleen miraculously began clotting and surgery was no longer necessary.
Even as I am writing this he is recovering in his own home when the doctors told him that he would be in the hospital for at least 10 days. When the doctors marveled at the healing taking place in Steve's body, he was able to tell them about the power of prayer and the faithful hand of God.
So, in short, this has been a testing week for us here at Family Life Church. It has been a tough test but a good one. Last week in youth church we called the young people to fast and pray on Thursday for Pastor Steve's healing. Over 75 of them responded and we are still hearing reports from them about what God did inside of them this last week as they stepped out in faith to believe for healing. Praise God that He is continually moving the church forward into the picture of what He has called us to be!
