Those who are committed to pray for Greg.

Tracy is also praying for Greg and requests that you pray for her brother Brett also who has recently started to attend church.

Tim & Karen (my neighbors from 3 houses down)

I was so amazed today, I contacted Direct TV today about some changes I wanted to make, I shared about Greg and ask the agent to pray for Greg.  I know nothing about his beliefs but this was his reply: Harmony: Oh sure I will visit that website later in my break, I will also share that website to my co workers here , I will make sure we will pray for him Steve.
God is raising an army of pray warriors.



Yesterday at church I made a plea to over 60 people to pray, and many have said they will.

Everywhere I go I ask people to pray and it is amazing how many say they will.

 

Will you add your name? 


UPDATE: October 8th, 2019:  Greg passed away at 1:45 AM with Steve & Debra at his side.

We are planning a grave side service for him this Saturday in the afternoon.  If you read this we would love to have you attend.

Greg has become one of my very best friends.  I have known him for over 2-1/2 years, he is 53 and his birthday is May 3rd.  He was a very faithful son to his mum and cared for her for years.  His hope was to start a new life in the USA, but shortly after his mum moved to a nursing home, she died, it was devastating to Greg, but he moved forward and cleaned out the house and started his plan to move to the USA.   A month later he was not feeling well so went to see his doctor and it was discovered he had kidney cancer.  Kidney cancer is easily treated but, it was also discovered his liver was failing.  The cancer was successfully taken care of but his liver is beyond hope.   Now instead of the life he hoped for he is in and out of the hospital every month with 6-12 months to live.

Greg has 2 brothers and one half brother, all 3 of them have hardly been model citizens.  They did inherit some money, but it won't last long.

I have prayed daily for him as others others have too.  Greg is an atheist and needs a touch from God.  He grew up as a Catholic and only sees error and pedophiles in the church.  I did something I never thought I could do before, I did a 30 day fast and prayer for him.  I believe God led me to do that but still no victory, but I believe in the end he will be saved. 

Greg lives in Australia, I flew there to meet with him in the hospital, and pray for him.

I am asking everyone I know and meet to pray for his salvation and physical healing.

Please commit to praying for him today and everyday.

Update: September 1st, 2019
4 days after I met and prayed with Greg, he had a major improvement. Praise the Lord!  It appears his steroid count is way too low, (thanks also to the doctor who would not give up and kept looking), so with meds and a proper diet he may survive.

Sometimes it just makes no senses.  The doctors in the great wisdom tweaked his meds, and it went from good to excruciating pain for Greg and now they are changing it back.  He is still suffering and can barely function.  Hopefully it will once again be good.

This is such an up and down ride for Greg.  I visited my doctor and have discovered that we have better facilities here, and I with the help of my doctor going to get him in to see a specialist, which was positive, but at the same time he took a big turn for the worse.  He needs to improve to be able to make the trip.  I will fly to Australia and bring him back, Lord willing. Keep praying for Greg, it is his only hope.  When he gets here he will have no insurance, so his money won't last long.

We think of Australia being a first class nation, and they have universal healthcare.  What some have been fighting for, for the USA.  One of their top hospitals, looked like the 1960's in the USA.  Four people to a room, and no computers, everything is hand written and in a loose leaf binder.  One doctor has no access to what the other doctors are doing but looking at a hand written document or speaking in person.  NO wonder his meds get mixed up.

Just when he thought things were going well he had a rough couple of days.  After spending 3 days in severe pain, he demanded they do something, and they did, and now he once again is feeling better.  That would never happen here in the USA.

Greg is hoping he can make it to the USA in about a week, looks like I will be flying back to Australia to pick him up.  He can walk, but the flight is a killer, about 24 hours from take off to landing in Minnesota.  I have made an appointment with a top notch doctor in Minnesota for him in 2 weeks.  Things are moving.  Pray for us on the trip, we will need it, the airline will provide a lay down chair to make a bed for him when he gets tired.

.Greg has told me he does not want any money now.  But at this point we do not know how much his medical will cost and he currently does not have insurance in the USA.
