A year ago, I never would have dreamed that we would collect data to submit to the World Melanoma Conference, on Spiritual Health.

Another one of those....accidents....or God's plan in action.

On June 11, 2009, I began to ask all the new patients, "Would you like to pray about your melanoma and surgery right now?" I had 80 say yes, and 10 say no. If they voiced no, I would kindly accept their response in the chart, "Spiritual health, no." Over the course of 5 months, 23 people accepted Christ as their personal Savior, and made a vow to Jesus Christ, to live for him!

My husband, took another leap of faith, by putting the statistics into writing. The abstract was accepted, as his first abstract over several weeks was also.

I rested quite well as we worked on statistics and the paper, poster. Yes he placed my name as first author. What a surprise I had, when the data of the first abstract and the second one was at the same time. I felt very comfortable when I believed he would submit all the data on both abstracts. To present the data to my peers, and also others in a higher level of expertise, than I. I had experience as an RN since 1980, 28 years, but still it was a great fear I needed to overcome.

That day arrived, and I was quite afraid, with my knee's knocking together as if they were playing an instrument, along with my palms being very wet, from perspiration. I prayed, "Lord I cannot do this, but YOU can! Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit, to speak through me and for me.

The room was quiet with the 30 people present. All responded favorable to the study. One negative voice of fear that I didn't have a spiritual degree in nursing. Later that day the study was presented to the entire audience of approximately 1000 melanoma experts, MD's, PHD's, Scientist's, and from all over the world. Is was stated from the study, that increased spiritual health is needed, by our statistics.

What they didn't know was, the statistics were only patients and family members. That did not list the nurses, or vendors who visited the office who heard the gospel, and who are believers.

More and more people are coming for prayer. God's spirit is pouring down on the office. Is it because He is the CEO of the company. Mostly everything in the waiting room are Bibles and devotional's. People are coming in hurting and want comfort that only Jesus Christ can truely bring.

God is our Savior, Jesus Christ! The maker of heaven and earth. We give HIM all the glory!! PTL.

"Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26


"Lord Jesus, please start with me today, by refining me in the fire, until I look more like YOU. Cleanse me with your precious blood, Lord. Lord fill me with Your Holy Spirit, and let me walk in your foot steps and speak Your words. Place Your lost sheep in my path. Save Your people Lord Jesus today. Send a revival, now Lord Jesus. Thank you Lord Jesus, and we pray in Your precious name and will Lord. Amen."

Since June 11, 2008 we have seen 94 people accept Christ as their personal Savior, and the Holy Spirit poured into them. Praise the Lord!! It happens almost daily now. Almost always after prayer.

Would you pray for more people to come to Christ everywhere and that He will keep blessing the office? We covet your prayers. Also would you please commit to praying for the new believers, that their new faith will grow? If you could pray every week or everyday for more people to come to Christ? Come to Wednesday prayer please at the office 12-1pm. Hope and praying you will be there!

Love in Christ Jesus!
