A Call to Prayer and Fasting for Dad

Greeting Blog-friends! 

I have been on a "posting" hiatus.  The last few weeks have been full of twists and turns that have required my full attention to navigate.

As many of you know, my father has returned to M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston, Texas for cancer treatment.  Our fight began in 2006 with a diagnosis of colon cancer.  This battle has tested the mettle of the strongest man and woman I know, my mother and father.  I can't express how thankful we are for the hundreds and thousands of people who have been praying and believing for a miracle.  

The church family that my Dad has pastored for all but 10 years of my life has been an incredible support to my parents. We love you TPC DeQuincy!  The church that I pastor, Abundant Life Church, has been so understanding of this season and has stood by our family with prayer and fasting.  

My father is in need of a miracle from God.  I have be challenged in my spirit to coordinate another focused season of prayer and fasting for his healing.  Beginning August 20, I will personally be fasting and praying strategically for my father.  If you would be willing to join me for any part of this, I'd love to hear from you.  Post a comment!  I'll be sharing your thoughts with my father.  Please forward this email to everyone you know that will pray in faith with us.  

If you have any "David Hennigan" thoughts that would be an encouragement to him, please post so that I can share with Dad.  We are going to join together believing God for a supernatural work in his body.

I appreciate you.  Thanks for your love, support, friendship, prayer, and faith.

Jeff

I will certainly join with you for your dad. Unfortunately, I know first hand how painful it is to watch a parent fight so hard & lose strength. I also know God is able to do abundantly above all we can ask or think. Tell your father I still think about the message he preached at the transition service. That was an awesome message & we still have some of the oil (even after anointing our home, cars & the cabin).
This is one of my favorite scriptures - "I know the plans i have for you'", declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you & not to harm you, plans to give you hope & a future". Jeremiah 29:10,11

Hey I will definitely be praying for you dad. I will fast on Aug. 20 with you. I strongly believe in the power of prayer and fasting. I know its hard when someone you love so much is battling a difficult illness. My 90 year old grandmother passed away in June. The last year was hard watching her suffer from heart failure, but I knew the Lord was there all the time.

Jeff, We have been and will continue to pray for your dad, We love him so much. He has been our earthly link to salvation for many years. What a wonderful Paster he is! Alma and Pete
