We need you to pray...

Jerry Parnell, Glenda's brother, is in the Baptist Hospital in Nashville, TN. He was discovered Sunday morning at 6 a.m. in an apparent coma. He was taken by ambulance to a local hospital and then flown to the hospital here in Nashville. While he has wakened, there is no response to commands, and only a very limited sign of him being aware of anything or anyone. He is in the MICU and under watchful care. The test results indicated nothing of any significance. He has had brain scan, EEG, EKG, and other related and normal tests for someone in this condition.

The neuroligist has indicated that nothing shows up in the tests indicating any impairment. However, he is non responsive. They are working diligently to bring him out of this condition.

Glenda and I have been here since Sunday afternoon. Edna arrived here Sunday night. Jerry's girlfriend and children have been here. Glenda and I plan to leave this evening after the 5 pm visit. I am speaking at the Gathering this Thursday evening at Jacob's Well in Mt Carmel, and Glenda is needing to get back to the store thaqt she manages in Mt Carmel. Glenda is returning here on Saturday.

We need your prayers for a miracle for Jerry. As you are aware, Glenda's older brother, David, passed away on May 30. Glenda and Miss Edna, her mother, are struggling with these events as you can imagine. They are needing our continued prayerful support.

To those of you who are just now hearing about this, please accept my apology for not contacting you sooner. We have been here in this struggle for all of this time and I have only had access to my blackberry to send emails. I am now on my computer where I can access more of you. Thank you for praying! I am determined to see the hand of the Lord deliver Jerry.

Blessings to you!

GOD IS FAITHFUL!

CARRY ON!
