Tom &
Jennifer...You and your precious family have touched my life. You know,
God's never late. I was touched to hear about the PK event and the
invitation. Please know we are praying for you in West TN and for
comfort and healing for Big Ben. I have a 22 mo. old son myself with big
brown eyes and I see Ben sometimes when I look at him. God loves you and
will sustain you through this. Thanks for Believing. In Christ's Love.

Jennifer,
Tom, Eli and Ben, Jennifer, I don't know if you remember me, I am
Krissie's friend Tawnya. Kris updates me regularly on Ben's progress and
this is the first time I have gone to the websight. Words cannot
describe how impressed I am by the strength, love and faith in God and
each other that is apparent that you all possess. I just cannot even
imagine the strength of character that it takes to get through this
time, but you guys sure have it. I do not mean to sound cliche', but I
do believe that all things happen for a reason, and after reading all
the stories and messages from others that Ben and your family has helped
or inspired, I know that is true. You are all truely amazing and Ben is
truely a gift from God. I pray for ALL of you often, and will continue
to keep you in my prayers. God bless you all. With much love, Tawnya

Stay
focused Bowens. We are all here for you rallying around you in prayer.
Hated to hear Ben didnt keep dinner down. But sounds like he still knows
how to get the girls. Look at that face. Too handsome a sure weekness
for any female. OXOX for brave Eli and Ben. May this new day bring
options that bring you closer to walking away with normal childhoods.
Believing.

I
continue to be thankful for the honor of praying for your family, and I
am encouraged by the thousands who are doing likewise. I am praying that
the bleeding in Ben's brain would stop, for accurate information from
the CT and MRI, and for HEALING! I will not stop begging God on your
behalf. I pray that God will carry you today. Your prayers are precious
to Him, as are you.

Tom and
Jennifer-We continue to read daily and be amazed at the strength of Ben
and Hannah. I believe the fact that God has united people from all over
the U.S. in prayer behind these children tells us there is a greater
purpose being fulfilled. Stay Strong!

Tom &
Jenn: 'Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” 2
Kings 6:16 One morning, Elisha & his asst. found themselves surrounded
by armed enemies with horses & chariots. The asst. panicked. But Elisha
said, “Don’t worry. We’ve got them outnumbered. Our army is bigger &
stronger than theirs.” “Our army?” the asst. wondered. Then God opened
his eyes, & the hidden hosts of heaven became visible to him. He saw a
vast army with enough firepower to defeat any opponent. In short order,
the enemy troops were struck blind, captured, shown kindness, & sent
back to their own land. God has “many angels, numbering 1,000’s upon
1,000’s, & 10,000 x 10,000”. They are always on alert to carry out God’s
orders, always ready to protect & help “those who will inherit
salvation” (Heb. 1:14). God’s millions of angels, unbeatable in battle,
are your guardians if you belong to God by faith. “If you make the Most
High your dwelling . . he will command his angels . . to guard you in
all your ways”. Mighty as the angels are, God is mightier

God is
mightier still. “Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings? . . .
He is more awesome than all who surround him”. Nothing can defeat God or
separate his people from his love. Standing with you & believing, T&N

Tom, it's
Beth that worked with you on the Board at Youth for Christ. I have been
following you and your family in prayer these past few months. Mary
Ellen Black has been so faithful to update so many of us with emails.
The Lord can be trusted!!!! I know that and have faith in that. He loves
Ben more than we can ever imagine and His power is infinite!!! So we
trust in that and have hope. I will continue to lift you and Jennifer
and Eli and Ben up to the Throne of Grace! With much love to you all,
Beth Smith

I've been
praying for the CT scan today and that it presents clear results for the
drs. I am praying for wisdom for the drs and all who are involved in
Ben's care. I am also praying God gives you the wisdom in your daily
decisions regarding your family and also Ben's care. Tom and Jenn, you
two are very important people, not only to God but to the world. Keep up
the wonderful attitudes. You guys are doing a great job, just what God
expects of you. I also pray for your marriage and that you grow together
through this situation and that you grow as parents and as Christians.
Someday we will all understand God's Will when it is revealed to us in
Heaven. Until them, believe and know He IS in control. God's love for
Ben is so evident in Ben's smile and in his beautiful character. From
Fresno with great love in Christ, The Perkins Family :)

Praying
for all of you during this difficult time. May God Bless Ben and give
him the strength he needs as well as the rest of you. I am praying for
the CT scan to only give you good results. I love the new pictures of
the family. Ben and Eli are so handsome! You just want to reach out and
hug them. I admire your faith and pray that God looks after all of you.

Ben & his
family- My name is Drew I am a senior at Valpo High and I would just
like to tell you something I was told once! With such a bad thing it is
hard to see good things but you have to stay strong and remember that
God is always here! My Best Friend Jill Bennett works as a volunteer at
St.Judes with the kids she loves it more then anything and if it makes a
difference I have never heard her so happy to do anything then what she
is doing! To Ben I wish you everything you have ever wished for and his
family stay strong every story has a happy ending! Love always, Drew

Have been
away for a few days, took some time to update myself on Ben's progress.
I just now realized that we were probably at Disney the same time Hanna
was. Would have been great to have seen them for a short chat.My family
had a wonderful time and I'm sure it was such a treat for Hanna and her
family. GOD IS SO GOOD! Still have your whole family in our prayers.
KEEP THE FAITH
