Tom and
Jennifer, I just wanted to write and let you know how nice it was to see
you last week. Lexi has not stopped talking about her new friends. We
had a real good trip. You have two very sweet little boys. You all take
care and know we are thinking about you. Andrea

Tom &
Jenn: Keeping a close eye on the update page & wanted you to know that
you & Ben are on our hearts more times than we can count each day & each
time, it’s an opportunity to go to Father God on Ben’s behalf. We find
ourselves praying more & more, longer & more fervently, with the
boldness His word says to have before the throne. It has been your
thoughts from the beginning that this is bigger than Ben & each day it
is utterly amazing how his glory is evident in mighty Ben, as the impact
of what is happening in your family spreads across the world as seen in
the recent e-mail postings. This is also about you, your faith in the
face of great adversity, sharing your heart, fears, anguish, &
victories. While it may seem that the website is for Ben, to call for
prayer to turn the tide of the battle, & for you & Jenn for
encouragement and strength, it is also for each reader who cannot miss
the message each day that God is, God loves, God knows, God cares, and
God is fighting this battle for you, going before you making crooked
places

I was so
touched to here about the PromiseKeepers event. I knew God had something
big in mind with Ben. That is so astonishing to know that his story
reached 7,000 men in just a few moments! I can't imagine the amount of
prayers that are ongoing. I have told many people about Ben's story and
have asked them to vow to pray for all of you, and to help you with your
financial burden, if possible. Don't worry about the little things on
this earth...God is taking care of ALL of those for you, rest assured!
You just focus on yourselves and taking care of your baby boys! My
family thinks of you always and prays constantly. Thank you Ben for
being so brave, strong and sweet! You are the greatest! Much love from
Fresno in Christ, The Perkins Family

Hey
Bowens, Great service at church yesterday. Larry was moved to tears when
he shared Tom's story about all the "Promise Keepers" men who rallied
around Ben. WOW! God is incredible, isn't he? I hope that you all had a
good weekend and that Ben's counts are on the rise as well as some
positive results from his CT scan. Just wanted to check in to let you
know we're praying! You remain wrapped in His arms, Mary Ann

I can not
even begin to imagine what you and your family are going through. Ben
and your family are in my prayers. Just seeing him on the news made my
heart melt. He is precious. He is on our prayer list at church and I
have told some others about him in case they haven't seen him on the
news. May God bless you and keep you.

Hello
Tom, Jennifer, Eli and Ben. You have been on my mind and I wanted to
just say hello. I can't imagine what feelings and emotions that you have
gone through and are going through. I know that God gives us trials to
make us stronger. Like a tree in a storm, the more the wind blows the
stronger the tree becomes. I think I'm just rambling, so forgive me and
know that you are thought of often and loved. Hugs to all

such an inspiration to see the light(glow) in your faces. It's
unbelievable! It's easy to see who is at work within you. I'm praying

You guys
were on my mind and heart when I awoke this morning. God has truly
blessed us with your lives and the testimony that you are sharing with
the world. Hopefully, the bleeding and swelling has subsided without
Ben's being nauseated or otherwise feeling bad. We continue to pray from
moment to moment each day sending the desires of our hearts that God
perform a healing miracle in Ben. You four have become a part of our
family---we love you dearly and share your pain and triumphs. We promise
always to believe with you in Him.

Hi Ben!
My name is Megan. You may not remember me, but I have seen you at St.
Jude. I am one of the 14 Volunteens there this July. I just want to tell
you that you are a very strong little boy! You and your family will
always be in my prayers! I know that God holds you close to his heart,
as I do with mine. God bless!!! Megan McKenzie

just wanted to let you all know that i have shared your story with my
church family(first baptist of south point) all summer and I was asked
to share your story to the whole Sunday night crowd. the sermon was
going to be about prayer. so it was amazing how over the last couple of
days that the updates took on the ugency and you shared with us the
promise keepers event. also to let you know i have been to the promise
keepers website and this is what i have found on their front page under
the Memphis highlights PROMISE KEEPERS JOIN REVOLUTION OF THE SOUL AT
