In Search of A Miracle From God

Sylvia also decided that now was the time to dedicate herself fully to following Jesus Her Savior and healer. And so she courageously sold all her furniture and most of her possessions in order to leave Florida permanently and accompany me in this prayer journey in search of her own personal miracle of total and complete recovery.

What an amazing woman, and what a bold step of faith she has taken! She is also relocating here to Montana, just as I am. Quite a transition from hot and humid Florida, to the Northwest where winter can  last ten months and evening temperatures are already down in the forties…and we can only afford to tent camp here at this time.

Taking care of Sylvia has been a full time labor of love. Having been trained as a home health care provider many years before I pursued journalism, I knew how to provide proper health care and food preparation for Sylvia when she has been too weak to do so alone. I did this for her for two months previously while staying with her in Florida, and ever since I picked her up from a family member’s home in Pensacola, Florida, to accompany me in this PRAYER JOURNEY ACROSS AMERICA.

Sylvia has made tremendous physical improvements and grown spiritually through all this. But as my readers have observed, I have not been able to spend as much time writing inspirational articles on my blog, due to the many demands that Sylvia’s health care has required frequently.

This has resulted in a tragic reduction in financial support for this ministry, leaving me without the necessary support so critically needed to continue at this time. I receive no income for providing full time health care for Sylvia: it is all provided freely, just as Christian concern and help for others in crisis should be.

Sylvia has admitted to me more than once that she would have died if I had not stepped into her life to rescue her more than once. But this is exactly what true Christianity is all about in the word today. As Christians, we are all called to love as Jesus loved us, and to lay down our lives for one another, just as He laid down His life for us.

We are now facing many critical needs at this time. Our finances are exhausted and we have been forced to now part with important personal necessities to sell on EBAY and CRAIG’S list just to afford tent camping fees, food and gas. Fall is coming quickly here in northern Montana, and we have not been able to locate affordable housing yet. This morning I could see my breath as I emerged from my tent.

While hardships like this are nothing new to me, having lived on the road under challenging circumstances to perform this journalism, all of this is quite new to Sylvia. I am amazed at her determination to overcome every new challenge and face every hardship with courage and faith in her Savior, Jesus Christ.

Understandably, Christian reader support is needed at this time. 

We are facing many challenges now, and colder weather is coming soon wherein we cannot continue to tent camp safely with her health issues. 

At this critical time, we cannot make it without Christian support from the Body of Christ. Stepping out in faith as we have done has been a tremendous challenge for both of us.
