Family ..... Just wanted to pass along my thoughts to you. I continue to
pray and check on Ben's status daily, as well as Hannah. God has richly
blessed you with the gift of faith and it's been an inspiration to me.
Continuing to believe with you ........... Gina

Ben is in
our prayers. We know what the power of God can do. We give him the glory
for Madison's healing. Here is a scriputre that I read when I feel that
Satan is coming against her and against our faith. "Behold, I give unto
you power (authority) to tread on serpents and scorpians, and over all
the power of the enemy: nothing shall by any means hurt you." Luke 10:19
Remember, this is an exciting verse as Jesus said he has given us
authoritive power over ALL, not some of the enemy. Command satan to take
his hands off of you. Command sickness and disease to leave your child
now in the Name of Jesus. In our prayers, Debbie & Madison Adams

God is
good-all the time! I am praying that you can take some time to think of
the positive events of today and know that God is in control. What a
ministry that PK's have. It has changed the lives of so many men and how
awesome is it that God used Bens Story during this meeting to soften
hearts and bring them to the Savior? He is still in the miracle
business:) You remain wrapped in His arms, Mary Ann

"And a
little child shall lead them..." Through you, little Ben, God is drawing
men to him to accept salvation through faith in Christ. I'm so very
thankful that these men are being saved, yet I wish with all my heart
that this were not coming about through your suffering. You smile and
radiate the Father's love and joy, while we question in anguish why He
has chosen to use you in His plan and for His purposes. If only we could
be the ones to take your place, little one! We pray that the blood will
be absorbed painlessly and that you won't be miserably sick. Love to you
and your family---we're still trusting Him to perform a miracle of
healing in your young, but awesome life.

Checking
in on ya'all this morning. Your testimony and your lives , especially
Ben's, in such an awesome testimony. I'm sure you would do anything ,
including switching places with Ben, if it were possible, but for some
reason God has a totally different plan. Tom, think of all those men you
reached at Promise Keepers that you would have never had the chance to
reach had this not been the situation you were in. Again, I'm sure you
wished it were another way, but I'm sure that even God had wished there
had been another way than through his son. You all are in my prayers. I
think of Ben and Hanna so often. I check at least twice a day to see if
there has been any changes... Please keep your faith strong. You and
Jennifer are God's chosen vessels at this at this point and time and you
are making a difference in people's lives. Even though you don't know
me, I've heard about Jenn through Lark and Steve since she was little,
so I feel like I know you.. Take care... And "When You Can't Trace His
Hand , Trust His Heart..

Praise
God for the encouraging news. Good news is always better than another
hurdle to be jumped. I totally understand your feelings of why in this
situation...I too battle an illness that sometimes leaves me feeling
exhausted and frustrated. But, I always come back to God's promises and
know that He has chosen me for a reason. We may not ever know the full
reason or any of the reason, but we do know that we don't ever stand
alone. One thing I know for sure about my health issues and Ben's is
that we were chosen to glorify God through it and as Ben's parents, you
are with him through the journey. Hearts are being touched by your
incredible faith and many minds are made to rethink there own faith...so
if you need a reason, what better one that the work of the Kingdom of
Heaven. We are human, so it does hurt and we do doubt, but in the end
God is receiving all the glory. I am prayerful for your hearts and minds
to continue on this journey with stronger faith than you've even
experienced so far. You are always on my mind an

...continued and in my prayers. Hold each other tight and cling to the
blessings that you have. I pray that God will keep His arms wrapped
tightly around all of you and squeeze you in the moments that seem too
much. Keep the faith and know that you are a shining example of a
servant of God. God Bless you all, Angela

Stable is
a good word. I like stable. I hate he feels so bad. Hopefully it will
adsorb soon and quickly. Something I will defiantly pray for. Your
experience with the Promise Keepers was amazing. A reminder of how we
are reminded. God’s way of send you guys angels to adjust to the stress
you all have been under. Not to forget to believe. Anyone in your guy’s
situation would ask why!? This is your child. We are here to protect
them. From this monster we cannot see or even predict. So we pray and
leave this as well as another situation that lays heavy on us in Gods
hands. We are ALL here for a reason he only knows. I will be sure to
check in on Easton and Louie. That was so nice and thoughtful of there
Mommies to hang out with Eli when you guys need the help the most.
Praying for you guys. All of you. Stay well. XOXO For Big Ben and Big
Eli.

Hey
Bowens. I just had another Big Ben chill bump moment thanks to your last
update. Isn't it amazing how God puts people in our lives, and how He
authors circumstances to allow us to know that He is here with us, and
HE - not this horrible disease, not the evil in this world, - HE - is in
control. Could you have imagined six months ago that Ben would impact
the world like he has? What great news about the stable situation with
the small tumor bleed. We will pray specifically for the quick
resorption of the blood and the continued death of the tumor. Hopefully
the vessel that bled, was the primary blood supply of the tumor, and
that no further surgery will be needed. Still praying and believing.
Bill

Ben, I
found your web site from Taylor Watsons. I work at the hospital with
Taylor's mom, dad and grandma Norma. As I sit here trying to find the
words to say to you, I am filled with profound respect praise for your
parents. To have such great parents who love God and are giving him all
the praise in this difficult walk that you are taking, humbles me. I
will pray every day for you and your family that God will continue give
the strength and courage to face each and every day. May God bless you
=) Cheryl
