Al's PET Scan

Hello loved ones:


Thank you for praying for Sherry & I, it's working.


I feel pretty much tied to my home during this time because my body is still reacting to the radiation and chemo after effects. I have good days, in-between days, and very bad days. The problem is, I can’t seem to discern when I will have a good day. Last week I had three days that literally caused me to spin in my head and affected my entire body. When I was a child, I used to have bad dreams and nightmares of being pulled out of my body, then I would get physically sick for days afterward. That's how I felt last week. (Strange, during the treatments there was little reaction from my body. I thought, “Wow, I passed this with flying colors!”) Yet, as my doctor warned me, the reaction can come anywhere from 2-6 weeks later and it has.

On Aug. 3rd I had a pet scan and the results were pretty positive. The tumor (formerly 4 inches long) shrunk considerably and there is no trace of any other growth. Anyway, my major surgery is still scheduled Sept. 17 at Johns Hopkins, something I do not want to do. Of course, I will go ahead with, because although I’ve done foolish things in my life, I’m no fool.

Yes, I’m still believing for a miracle.

So many have e-mailed, called or contacted us in some way giving words of encouragement or support and some of these dear brothers and sisters we have never met before. Sherry and I have wept over these e-mails and letters giving thanks to the God of mercy and abundance. We get medical bills and are holding up right now, but please keep praying for us. One brother (Tim, from Western Maryland) gave me a powerful Word from the Lord that seemed to be an 'atom encouragement bomb' that devastated satan.


If you are discouraged in anyway whatsoever, do this: Go encourage someone. Do it now. Call someone. Open the window and shout it out to your neighbor, then yell to heaven "I love your faithfulness God!" Can't find anyone to encourage? Do what I have done, even today: MIRROR TALKING I slowly walk to the largest mirror in my house and I preach to the person I am looking at, first by quoting Ps 68: 1-4 out LOUD! Then I sing, as loud as I can, PRAISES TO THE LORD! AND THEN I REJOICE BY FAITH.


Excuse me, I'm compelled to look for the closest mirror...


MUCH LOVE,


AL & SHERRY

My Friends and partners

Dear partloved loved:

I value you so much.

"I shall not die, but live and declare the works of the Lord" (Ps. 118:17). As of this moment I am breathing...and I continue to do so. Please continue along with me together, shall we? God taught me to teach and and love and enjoy Him to the utmost. In our meetings we laugh, see many healed and if you have ever attended any of our meetings, its a combination of joy, teaching, healings, and personal minisitry. I am a happy person. I was born with a meloconly, introverted personality. Shy, insecure and very private. Since Jesus bursted into my life literally (December 25, 1971) the holy Spirit has transformed me into a Godly man (All His glory). I have seen angels, spoke with them and seen many supernatural things. I don:t know why, but most has been to minister to others

My schedule may be out for the rest of the year...so be it. I'm concinced Jesus will take care off me some how, some way.

Please, pray for Sherry. Yesterday she had a very bad day. It was a combination of the pressure of doing the medical bills; a heavy worry about me...thoughts of me not being 'here', etc. She is (if you have every met her) the prettiest, tender and sweetest peson you have every come across....yet she is the same person inside her. How God in His great mercy ever decided to give her to me still puzzels me today.

But today it all crashed down on her and she had a mini-nervous breakdown. I can carry only 10-15 pounds, (being so weak) so she was going to mail the newsletter, no small task, (5 days late), do the (still got to be paid) medical billed that can be taken care off, be pay what she can up here; catch up on the ministry paper work and so many other things. Our son Justin came up to fix my computer and she fell into both of our arms and broke down. He was a angle send, and mailed the newsletter and did other things for us. I and Sherry were too weak.

Ww have thousands of medical bills and and trusting for God to meet them

I had a Pet Scan Monday at Hopkins and the results will be in soon.

Regardness, I will stay positive, up beat and full of faith. I' not beat by a long shot. The devil is a liar, Jesus truly if my healer. I will preach again, powerfully, anointed and with all because of you prayers.

Thank you for continuing to pray for Sherry and I...you are in my hears and we prayer for for daily.

Another prayer request: Our dear friend Pastor Tom Cogle and his wife flew down to AOG General Counsul Florida.while one Son Travis and wife Erica with baby Jackson drove. They were hit on thee highway, rolled over and could have died. All had cuts ans bruises, by only Mom (Erica) suffered a small broken neck bone. No surgery needed, but has to wear a brace. They are still going to Gen. Counsel. They are the most precious family...please pray for them.

Please mail a card or a note of encouragement....TRAVIS, ERICA and little Babe Jackson, C/O 10774, P.O. Box 209, La Plata, MD 20646 The angels were watching over them. Just like they are watching over you...


We love you and thank you for for prayers and support.

Tenderly'
AL & SHERRY.
