I declare this “Hug Your Pastor” week
Posted by Monica Brand on 11.20.08 at 8:32 pm
Because ours is in a hospital tonight suffering with a brain aneurysm.
This is Dennis, with his lovely wife Kathy. I’ve had this picture on my refrigerator for months. Why? To remind me to pray for them, their marriage, their ministry, their relationship with the Lord to be strong. I never thought I would post the picture here, asking you trusted friends to agree with me in prayer, to intervene for our beloved pastor.
We never think these things will happen, do we?
So hug your pastor. And while you’re at it, pray for him too.
UPDATE: No evidence of an aneurysm was found. Thanks be to God! I’ll keep you infomed, please continue to pray as the doctors look for the source of the problem.

Confess that your pastor is healed because by HIS stripes we ARE healed and we receive the manifestation of the healing in your pastor!
We ask it, we receive it because we all stand in faith!

My mom survived a brain aneurysm in 1991, due in no small part to the fast action of my stepfather and the hospital staff. We had her back for 13 glorious years until a second aneurysm (much worse) took her from us in 2004. I’ve been telling people for years to hug their moms because you just never know what tomorrow holds. It is possible to recover fully from a brain aneurysm, though, so take heart!
If God has more work for him to do here, then he will be healed. God’s will be done… although I know your congregation (and his family) would sure like to keep him for a while longer!
