This is actually a post that my wife sent out and I wanted to share it with you…

For those of you who have not heard me talk about my uncle, here’s the brief version.  My  42 year old uncle has lived as a homosexual for the past 15 years.  The alternative lifestyle that he has been living has been so dark and demonic at times that some of us could just not wrap our minds around. He would publically admit that he was an atheist.  As a result of this lifestyle, he is suffering with the HIV virus.  For any of you who have been around someone with this condition, you know the effects that it has on ones body.  It has been devastating, literally heartbreaking watching him wither away.  Several of us in the family have prayed for his soul for years.  In the last couple of months, he was diagnosed with cancer.  With his body already weakened by the virus, doctors were concerned whether or not his body could handle chemo.  After further evaluation, doctors had decided to go ahead with the chemo.  The chemotherapy had seemed to be somewhat successful and my uncle returned home .  A few days later, he became very ill.  He arrived at the hospital by ambulance in severe pain.  He was bleeding from his nose and rectum and to my knowledge, the cause was unknown.  He was moved into ICU and the prognosis was not promising.  Heaven was stirring , I’m sure, because prayers were pouring out.  By the pure power of God and the prayers from His people, the doctors were able to stabilize him.  But God still wasn’t finished…my mom later called me with news that my uncle had asked Jesus in his heart!!!!!!!!!  I was and still am in awe of God’s power!!! 

My prayer for all of those who have been praying for lost family members and friends is that you will not get discouraged by what seems to be an unanswered prayer.  Continue to pray for them.  Be faithful in praying for them and whether or not we live to see it, God will be faithful in answering our prayers. Don’t only speak it but believe it in your heart!!!!!!  God is good!!!

Please continue to pray for David.  Pray that God will heal him so that so many others can benefit from the testimony that this young man could live to tell!!!!!!  Thanks for all of you who have been praying and please continue to do so.  I will continue to update you on his physical status!!  Stop what you are doing right now and take the time to pray for those lost souls.  You may be the only voice lifting them to God. 

Update…

I received word from back home that my uncle David passed away last night.  Doctors discovered that he had a whole in his intestines and that their was infection.  He was in horrible pain yesterday morning.  He spoke to my aunt that morning prior to his death and told her that he could bare no more and that he knew he was dying.  About an hour later he stopped breathing.  Doctors were able to recessitate him and put him on life support.  However, all of his organs begin to quickly shut down and his already weakened body could take no more. 

Thank you for all of your prayers.  Please continue to pray for our family.  Pray that God will continue to use David’s testimony through the people that love him and knew him so well.  Praise the Lord, that he is rejoicing today in the arms of our heavenly father.  My kids say that he is dancing with Jesus!!!!  I think that is a wonderful image!!
