The Smith Family

Many of you received an email from me at the beginning of the week asking for strong prayers for this family and their little Gavin. For those that don't know, I received an email from a friend of mine on Monday telling of the tragedy this family in experiencing. (She is a friend of a friend of the family.) All of the specific information is on their blog site, but the very short story is their 3 yr old son, Gavin, was diagnosed with a malignant tumor that took up 1/3 the size of his brain and has spread to his spine. Where I don't know this family personally, it really hit home being that's the same age as Jack.

Many of you have asked for updates on Gavin's progress and I'm so pleased to say that God is working miracles in this little one's life! I have added a link to their family's site in the 'Family & Friends' portion of our site so you can see the day to day progress. I encourage you all to read their story and begin praying for their family. There is so much power in prayer, and if we all pull together to lift this family and their precious son up, I'm convinced God will work more miracles!

The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. James 5:16
