It's a Thanksgiving Day Miracle!

Darla is coming home from the hospital today…. She is still in some pain but the doctors feel she is well enough to go home and that is great news!

I know we use the term “miracle” a lot these days, but when you see so many people praying and then you see God’s hand at work in a way that even surprises the doctors.
All you can say to the skeptics is “I was blind but now I see”

The first Thanksgiving was a celebration of survival. It’s not about turkey or football although those things are good. This year we feel like the folks must have felt in 1621 on that Plymouth Plantation. By the grace of God we are here and we are thankful to God and to you.

I hope you can see the HAND of GOD in this healing…. And maybe God can use this experience of Darla in some way to help you celebrate this Thanksgiving Day.

Special thanks to all those who help us get out pray request out:


Please keep praying for our health and our work in Playa Del Carmen

Pray for our church in Paamul they are having a big Thanksgiving dinner at the church tomorrow. Last year we feed about 150 people and Darla did most of the work. Pray that this event will go well. If you are in the area please come eat with us, it a potluck. We are also collecting can goods to feed the needy.

Darla is still in a lot of Pain but she is now out of the ICU

Darla is now out of the ICU but she is still in a lot of pain. The doctor says he plans to do another MRI tomorrow we should know a little more after this test. Thanks so much for your prayers. Keep praying we are not out of the woods yet.

Many are asking how can they help. We always need more financial support for the work down here but now the truth is unless God does something special I don't know how we are going to make it through this financially. We do have insurance and it will pay a lot of the cost but our bill so far is over $11,000 US . We have to pay up front so we my have a cash flow problem soon. We are trusting God and we are not to proud to boldly ask you to help. We believe in what we are doing down here and we need your help but we also want you to share in the blessing of being a part of changing lives.

If you feel God leading you to help you can send checks to:
Global Community Fellowship
1904 Red Bud Cir.
Greenville NC 27858

Please ask your church to pray about supporting the work down here of a monthly bases. We believe Darla is going to be back on her feet soon and there is a lot of work to do here if you are not already a supporter please pray about what God would have you do.













update on Darla

She had a good night.... She was able to eat a little for the first time... Doctor was hopeful that she could come out of ICU soon....

Please keep praying.
