Our Festival of Light was a huge success! We had more than 3,000 people come through and share with us that night. We had several opportunities to share with people at the event and it was great! Please continue to pray that God will bless the seeds that were planted at FOL. All of our volunteers did a tremendous job making everyone feel welcome!
At around 10:45PM Saturday night, the elders and myself went to the hospital to pray with Mike, our drummer. If you don't know Mike, he's been a member at Oakwood for 20+ years. His daughter and wife had called during FOL and asked for prayers because Mike was not progressing as they would have liked. He was in ICU on a ventilator and had been for a week.
The elders and I did what the Bible says in James and prayed for Mike and anointed him with oil. If you haven't heard by now, there was almost a complete turn around in Mike by Sunday morning. He was off the vent (which is a story in and of itself) and was breathing on his own with oxygen. We got out of bed for the first time in a week. When I called up there Sunday afternoon, his sister told me that he was sitting in a chair watching football.
We need to continue to pray for Mike and for his healing. He is doing very well, but still has a long rode ahead as he rehabs and gets his lungs healed. But we must also acknowledge the turnaround that God did in him early Sunday morning. Thank the Lord for his provision and healing for Mike. He is still our greatest physician and healer!!!
