Please be praying for Jeremy and Jeff. Two young men that are members of my church. These young men were in a car accident caused by a drunk driver. The drunk driver, a local woman, is in the hospital but with very minor scratches and bruises. Jeremy, age 20,  is in a coma with swelling of the brain. Jeff, age 19,  has every bone in his body broken. He is going to need full facial reconstruction sometime after he is stabilised. Both young men are in ICU.

Oh dear Brother, yes of course both boys are on my prayer list as well as their family and your congregation and of course you too. Knowing how close you work with young people I realize this must be very hard on you.

Brother, I am praying.

Thank you sister for the prayers. Yes Jeremy is a special person in my heart as is all the young people I meet.

Jeremy still has not awakened and Drs say they don't know why as He "should" be able to. Jeff had rods put in his legs today and tonight he goes into surgery for facial reconstruction. Please keep them both in prayer.

Brother, I certainly am praying for them, and I will continue to do so. Keep us updated, please.

Brother of course I will pray for Jeremy and Jeff.  I will also be praying for their family.  I will also be prayng for the woman driver, that she finds the Lord.  Also that Jeremy and Jeff forgive her, for her driving while drunk.

Brother Roger, do you have any new information on Jeremy or Jeff?

No sister I haven't been able to go up there today. My daughter in law is going though instead. She is supposed to be calling soon to give me an update. As soon as she does I will post it.

Yes please keep us updated Brother, I am still praying for them.

Yes Pastor Roger,
I will keep them all in prayer. 

Praise our wonderful Lord and Saviour! Thank you Jesus!

Jeremy is starting to respond. He wakes up now for short periods of time, he does things he is told to do and when his brother came into the room he reached out, took his hand and squeezed it. He has yet to say anything but at least he is improving.

Please keep him in prayer as he continues to heal.

Oh praise God. PR that is great news, thank God Jeremy is improving.
Yes I will continue to pray.

Praise God in the highest!!  Yes brother, I will keep them all in my prayers.

How is it going with Jeremy and Jeff, today. Lifting them before God. can so much identify!! My oldest son and daughter were in a major accident about 18 months ago!! Praying for their families as i know a little of the trauma they are going through.

I missed this prayer request for Jeremy and Jeff. It will be my joy to pray for them.

Love in Christ,
Tom

Revelation 1:7-8 NASB  BEHOLD, HE IS COMING WITH THE CLOUDS, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen. "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."

Jeremy and Jeff are both doing much better now. Jeremy has been awake and is starting to respond more. He is going to have to go through some speech therapy though.

My wife and I just got word today that her grand dad just passed away. He had a wonderful 90+ years. We are at least comforted to know that we will see him again when we are all called home.

I would also like to ask for prayers for one of my nephews who will be headed to Iraq very soon. He is being sent just two months before his new baby is due.

Thank you for the up-date on Jeremy and Jeff, Pastor Roger. Yes I will also pray for your nephew, that God protects him.

Update on Jeremy as of 5 PM today.

Jeremy woke up at 5 p.m. and started asking for all of his family into the room. He told them them all not to take their love for granted and that God was good. He was coherent and talked with everyone for over an hour before tiring again. He is sleeping good again now. What an answer to prayer!


Amen and I thank you all for your prayers.

YEAH!!

AMEN!!

GOD is good, and I love to watch GOD work in the lives of young people. I will pray that he has a rich and full life to serve our AWESOME GOD!

Love In Christ,
Tom

Psalms 31:19 NASB  How great is Your goodness, Which You have stored up for those who fear You, Which You have wrought for those who take refuge in You, Before the sons of men!

Brother Roger, what a testimony Jeremy is, I am still praying for him and Jeff as well.

I am also praying for your nephew, that God will protect him and that he will come home safe and sound to see his baby. I will also keep his wife and baby in my prayers.

Brother, I am also praying for you wife and her family as well, I know that no matter how old a person is and how forseeable it is that they may go home to be with the Lord, they will always be missed and loved.

You, your wife and all your family are in my prayers.

AMEN!! Brother!!

That is a testimony for Jeremy on prayers.   I am still praying for Jeremy and Jeff as well.

Jeremy slept until 10 a.m. yesterday. The Occupational therapist came in and had him put on his shorts and shoes and he was able to do that by himself! The Speech therapist came in and fed him some apple sauce. He was able to eat that, so they brought him a 6-inch sub, chips, and grapejuice and he ate it all!!! For those who know Jeremy, that would have been a small between meal snack for him before, but considering that is the first food he has eaten in over a week it is amazing. He continues to make excellent progress and the doctors are pleased. We thank God for the miracles small and large.

He had a half hour therapy session this morning. They had him up and walking with the aid of the therapist. They said he is stronger today than he was yesterday, but he is always exhausted after his therapy sessions. Afterwards they gave him his first breakfast since the accident and he ate good. He gave his sister Nicole a brief phone call and she was very happy to hear his voice.

Jeff is still recovering from his many injuries. It is going to be a long haul considering all the bones that were broken but he is still doing much better than any of the Drs had expected.

Thanks for the up-date on Jeff and Jeremy brother. Yes I'm still praying for both boys.

Brother thank you so much for the update on both young men. I thank God that they are doing a lot better than was expected.

Amen to all that has been said!
PR, I will keep the two in prayer as well as some of the new requests! 
Your brother in Christ,
-Am-

Jeremy was moved to the 2nd floor rehabilitaion unit on Wendesday, which is a very BIG step away from being in the critical care unit. He started his day out today by taking his first real bath since the accident. He then got to visit his friend Jeff and it was a very special reunion.

Jeremy is having full therapy sessions daily from 8:30 to 3 p.m. . This includes hygenic, occupational, speech and physical therapy. The doctor's want him to score a 7 on the scale they use to grade the therapy results and he is scoring a 4 right now, which the doctor's say is very good. They took his IV tubes out which is the last of his hookups.

Jeremy's room was pretty crowded yesterday evening, with most of his family there and quite a few friends stopping by. He was in very good spirits and joking around with everyone. He kept thanking everyone over and over again for their support and he is obviously touched by the tremendous outpouring of love he is receiving.

Jeremy is progressing very well and a couple of his therapists mentioned that he is a living miracle based on the briefing they were given a couple of days ago by the doctors on what his condition was and what to expect from him. Of course we know it is the Lord's grace and a direct answer to the many prayers on his behalf. He still has a ways to go so keep praying; he is very determined to recover as quickly as possible. He scored a 4 in his therapy today and he needs to score 7 before they will release him from the hospital, so he said tomorrow he will score 5, the next day 6 and then 7 and be out of the hospital by Monday.

AMEN! I am in full agreement with Jeremy, I believe that he can do it.
The Bible says he can, I think Jeremy has already proven that he knows that.
I am happy to hear that he is doing so good. Praise God!!
Have the doctors said anything about how long Jeff will have to stay in the hospital?

I haven't had any information on Jeff for several days now but the last I heard he was looking at quite a long time yet.

AMEN Pastor Roger, I'm still praying for both boys.

AMEN!!

I will keep praying for these boys. It appears that GOD has plans for both of them.

Love in Christ,
Tom

Romans 8:26-27 NASB  In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

Brother, anymore up-dates on Jeremy and Jeff? I'm still prayinng for them.

Jeremy is at home now and still progressing fairly well. Jeff is still in the hospital and progressing slowly but at least consistently.

Thanks for the up-date brother, how about the woman who hit the boys?  I've been praying for her to learn, and accept Christ.

I haven't heard anything more about her.

Thank God that the 2 boys are doing good.
