The Power of Prayer

Romans 8:28 "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good." Sometimes when bad things happen to good people we wonder why. Some home owners that we have come to know ask that very question. Why? Many felt this way after Hurricane Katrina. Why me? Why the Mississippi Gulf Coast? Let me tell you about a couple volunteering their time here at
Camp Hope. She never said, "Why did God let my husband fall and get injured?" Because she loves God she continues to count her blessings each day and knows that God is in control. As her husband recovers (more on that later) she is encouraged by the support of her new found family in Gulfport. She is still praying for God's blessings on our ministry at First Presbyterian in Gulfport even though she is dealing with her own trials. What a relief it must be for her to know that God is in control of their lives and He has the master plan.

The up date on our brother in Christ:
He is home and walking with the assistance of a walker. He will be in out patient therapy twice weekly. His conversation and thinking capacity are both quite good. His wife states, "the power of prayer has brought him back and given him a second chance on life!" Praise be to God!
