Dear Mike,
Today was one of the best prayer sessions I've experienced in years - the generous time and the generous spirit - and I'm deeply grateful I was able to connect with such caring, dedicated and believing brothers as you, Ron and John. I really don't have adequate words to thank all of you. Sometimes hours like those feel like all the difference between life and death.
With great gratitude, Rich

then had to stay for another three weeks at the hotel where i had been staying for him to go through out patient rehab. During this time our surgeon and the radiologist got together because Rick has more of
In November of 2021 my husband, Rick, had some tingling in his toes. It was a curious feeling for him. He had never had anything of significance wrong with him in his life and now he was 74 . Along with this tingling came a pain in his lower back. Being an avid golfer this is sometimes expected. However, the tingling and numbness started moving up into his legs.
The first doctor was his internist who suggested an MRI of his lower spine, which they did. On this scan they noticed an enlarged prostate (also, somewhat normal for a man his age). This sent him to a
urologist. The urologist put him on some pills that were supposed to take care of this. However, no one was really addressing the numbness and tingling in his legs. Plus, the pain in his back was getting stronger.
Next Rick went to a pain management person. After many scans and pokes and multiple visits for adjustments, the doctor decided on shots in his back. These things did not solve either the pain or the leg issue.
After the last scan different doctors noticed some images that had popped up in his left femur, liver, along his spine and other places in his body. Immediately they sent him to an oncologist! Upon meeting the oncologist we were told that Rick had metastasized prostate cancer throughout his whole body!!!!!!! It was at this point that I heard Jesus say "NO". So we pushed back, because this doctor was going to start Rick on chemotherapy the next week. We pushed for more tests and a biopsy......the doctor reluctantly agreed. After all these tests and biopsy, it came back negative!
We are right back where we started, only it is now 7 months later. Being snowbirds, we headed back to Wisconsin. There are good hospitals and doctors there. We got in right away (due to a little help from our doctor friends). These doctors did not have a clue. They saw the images that the other doctors had seen and also thought it might be cancer, but then with the biopsy being negative.......well, nobody knew what it was.
Finally, on his own Rick, approached Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. They set up a series of appointments in November. Now it has been one year since Rick had the beginning of tingling in his toes. For all of this time not one doctor could tell us what was wrong. And no one was really addressing the leg issue, which was moving slowly up his legs, into his knees and thighs. Unfortunately, the first week at Mayo did not produce any results. But at least this doctor was not going to give up. He scheduled more tests with different doctors for December.
On December 11, 2022 we flew up to Mayo in Minnesota from Naples, Florida. By this time Rick could not walk and we had to have a wheelchair both at the airport and when we got to the hospital. On
Monday, December 12, Rick started his tests. More MRI, x-rays, blood work, brain scan......it was exhausting for him. Originally we had been scheduled to see a spine specialist in January, but a spot opened the following day at 1:00. On Tuesday we went to see Dr. Shelerud (I will remember this man for the rest of my life). Within 15 minutes this man knew what was wrong with Rick. Because the numbness had reached his waist, the doctor knew that the issue had to be in his thoracic spine. No one had done an MRI on this area. They had been concentrating on his lumbar (lower) spine. This doctor sent us immediately over to emergency by transport and we were taken into the room within 5 minutes (which was amazing because there were about 100 people in the waiting room). Within about 1/2 hour Rick was having a MRI on his WHOLE spine. These people knew exactly what it was. Rick had a hemangioma (tumor of blood vessels) that was constricting his T9, 10, 11 vertebrae. That is right in the middle of your back. This had to be removed. The surgeon on call was probably the only person who could have performed this delicate surgery. This man, Dr. Karim, spent the next 12 hours contacting people all over the world and putting his team together. The next day it was a 6 hour surgery!
This whole experience on that day could have only been a divine intervention! Rick had to be taken to the point of not being able to walk for the doctor to recognize where the problem was. The appointment opened up just at the right time. The surgeon on call was the right person......ONLY GOD COULD HAVE DONE THIS!
So we went to Mayo for 5 days for tests and ended up staying for 42 days! Rick was in the ICU for a week, then moved to the orthopedic floor for a week, and then to inpatient rehab for another week. We
then had to stay for another three weeks at the hotel where i had been staying for him to go through out patient rehab. During this time our surgeon and the radiolost got together because Rick has more of
these hemangiomas on his spine. As a preventitive measure they radiated these so they could not grow.
When we finished with the radiation the surgeon said it was safe to take out the stitches along the incision. Casually we asked the doctor what would have happened had Rick not seen the spine specialist when we did. The answer was that " Rick would have been in a wheelchair for the rest of his life!". Thank you, Jesus......
We also had to go back in March to radiate some other areas, also as a preventative measure. All his tests in March came back as negative. In other words nothing was growing (however, after all these these MRI, scans and x-rays...I think he might be glowing!)
I am happy to say that Rick is walking up to three miles a day and his balance is better. Although golf is not in the immediate future, there is hope.
Even though this story is about my husband, Rick , I have to add that God blessed me also. Being the convener of St. Johns healing community in Naples, I found opportunity to pray with people everywhere I went. In the elevators, transport car. hotel lobby, or just walking through the halls of the hospital. The driver of the transport car for the Hilton Garden Inn became my prayer buddy. The first night I met him, he said "Hello, my name is Mick and I have been praying for you!" From then on he would present me with an occasional present.( Water from Lourdes, a small bottle of honey from his own bees, even a
backscratcher for those hard to reach places when I was alone!) God gave me opportunities and I obeyed.
Rick and I have both been blessed by this experience and thank God everyday for His miracle.
Blessings , Vickie
My husband and I are grateful for our time at the Center. We went, seeking prayer during a particularly difficult time in our lives. We were a little nervous before we went, not knowing what to expect. During our time, the prayer ministers listened and asked questions. They reminded us that the Spirit was with us. As we shared what was going on in our lives, it was such a comfort to hear them lift us up to the Lord and intercede for us. They helped us remember that the Lord loves us and has healing for us.
We experienced a miracle of physical healing while we were there. My husband has had persistent and significant back pain on his right side for many years. He’s been to doctors and tried different stretches and methods to alleviate the pain; however, nothing has worked. The prayer ministers prayed over his back, and in the name of Jesus he was freed from the pain, and it has not returned. We are grateful to the Lord, and the healing certainly helped increase our faith.
I’ve been back by myself as well, seeking prayer, and again, enjoyed being with the prayer ministers and left comforted and encouraged. They have such an insightful and spiritual ministry. I recommend going to receive prayer to every person. What a gift.

Thank you for hosting the missions' partner luncheon and prayer meeting. I was truly blessed by the time spent in communion, prayer, and hearing the Lord speak words of healing, encouragement, and affirmation. Also, thank you so much for the generous offering, Better Together is honored and grateful for your ministry's support. Personally, I heard the Lord speaking strength and encouragement to me as a new leader and healing areas of self-doubt in my life. I pray God continues to use you and will greatly appreciate the continued prayers and support. Blessings!

Baptized in the Holy Spirit and pain retreated in the presence of the Lord.
Daniel was on WAPN Radio with Pastor Barhoo and Prayer Warriors from Faith Alive Ministries of Daytona Beach on Monday, November 1st. The Holy Spirit was poured out as we claimed the promises of God. When two or more are gathered in His name we shall receive what we have asked for! Our God is a faithful God!
Daniel announced that a woman listening had the issue of blood. She called in minutes later and said she could not stop bleeding from an operation she had for cancer. Daniel asked Jesus to fill her with the Love of God and she acknowledged that she was receiving God’s love! We cursed the root of her cancer just like Jesus cursed the root of the fig tree. We commanded all of the cancer cells to wither and die and cast them out of her body.
Then we asked her to close her eyes and imagine Jesus standing in front of her wearing His prayer shawl. Daniel then said: “Reach out and touch the fringes on His prayer shawl.” She did and then Daniel declared: “The bleeding has stopped!” She declared: “Yes the bleeding has stopped!” WOW Thank you Jesus for your gift of healing!
