Hi, I got
your site off of Hanna's site. My daughter is in Hanna's grandmother's
class this year. We will add you to our prayer's each night and also to
our prayer list at church. May God continue to be with all of you during
this time. We pray that God will wrap his loving arms around each of you
these coming weeks. It's stories like these that build our faith in God.
May he continue to be with each of you, comfort you, and strengthen you
each and every day.

Dear
Family, As I read your update it brought tears to my eyes, the memories
of the painfull decisions, knowing that you too must make for precious
ben. But keep believing and trusting in the lord, put all faith in him.
He will comfort you when needed the most, as he has my wife and I. God
has trully blessed "ben" for such wonderfull parents. We start and end
each day with prayer for your family, as many here that are close to us
do. I especially pray for stephanie to watch over ben, for I "believe"
she is a special angel to help these children in need...

i have
waited to write to you because i don't know what to say. i can't believe
what is happening to ben. i had asked god in the beginning of all this
that if he was going to take ben then take him right away, please not
let ben suffer or be in pain and go through all of these treatments and
procedures and then take him. well my prayer wasn't answered. then today
at church i thought about all the lives that ben has touched, all the
eyes that he has opened, and the strenght that he has showed to the
whole world and realized that in his short life so far he has had such a
hugh impact on so many people and he has taught us so much that god
chose ben to help save the rest of us. even though i wish he never would
have chosen ben or any other child to do this,but no one could have
touched the lives of so many people as ben has done and continues to do
everyday. his smile can brightened any room and anyday. tom and jennifer
you are two of the most wonderful people i have ever meant and i am so
sorry that this is happening to your fami

Greetings
to you. My mom, Linda Harrison, has been forwarding to me updates about
your situation. I have walked through the valley of disease with my son,
Judah www.judahsjourney.com I want you to know that I am praying for
you. There is no sickness or disease in Heaven and Jesus taught us to
pray, "Thy Kingdom come" here to earth. So I pray for Ben, for healing
to come into his body, like it is in Heaven. Blessings, Deb Dombach

I am
standing in agreement with your and your family today. I will be fasting
with you. I was praying for all the Bowen's this morning and God brought
this song to my mind, "This solid rock I stand, all other ground is
sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand". You have given me such
inspiration and a new found understanding of what it means to truely
lean on Him. Thank you for sharing your story, I am listening!!! Love in
Christ.

DEAR TOM,
JENNIFER, ELI AND BEN, NATHAN AND JULIE WERE AT MY HOUSE YESTERDAY
(SUNDAY) AND NATHAN WAS TELLING ME ABOUT TALKING TO BEN ON THE PHONE ON
SATURDAY MORNING. HE WAS TELLING ME HOW BEN WAS SINGING ROW, ROW, ROW
YOUR BOAT AND JUST CHATTERING AWAY. THE STORIES I HEAR ABOUT BEN JUST
BLOWS ME AWAY. GOD IS DEFINITELY USING HIM THROUGH HIS SICKNESS TO TOUCH
OTHER PEOPLE. I KNOW I HAVE BEEN TOUCHED, NOT JUST BECAUSE I KNOW YOU
ALL PERSONALLY, BUT FOR THE STRENGTH AND FAITH YOU ALL HAVE SHOWN
THROUGH THIS PAST SIX MONTHS. I WILL BE PRAYING FOR ALL OF YOU TODAY AND
THANKING GOD FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR YOU. I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE THAT
GOD IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN GET YOU THROUGH WHEN YOU ARE IN THOSE
VALLEYS, SO JUST KEEP LOOKING UP!!! LOVE AND PRAYERS...NINA SAUNDERS

Tom &
Jennifer, It is always correct to pray for healing as we know that Our
Father always wants us to be healed and He always does it!! We know that
he chooses to heal us in 3 different ways. 1) Sometimes in an
absolutely, undeniable miraculous way that only HE can do; 2) sometimes
thru the miracles of modern medicine. 3) sometimes by taking us into His
loving arms in heaven. Yesterday we heard a message on Psalm 149. The
main point of the sermon was 149:4 "For the LORD delights in His
children"! What an awesome verse and what a freeing verse! To know that
God delights in you and me! The other verse that brought me great
comfort thru this past year is Psalm 74:26 "My health may fail, and my
spirit may grow weak, BUT GOD remains the strength of my heart; He is
mine FOREVER"! What a marvelous God who is worthy of our praise at all
times and what a joy to know that He holds Ben and all of us in the palm
of His hand and that our names are written on his hand! May He
strengthen you by the power of his might, and know that

Tom and
Jennifer. We all admire your courage and your faith through everything
youve been through. Most people can only imagine the pain you and your
wife and sons have endured. But know that we all care deeply that
everything turns out great for the Bowen family and all your extended
family back home. Please know that you really have thousands of new
family praying for your family everyday, and im sure little Karley is
Big Bens guardian angel, Ive prayed she look after him and keep him
safe. Tom and Jennifer,eli and Ben we all love you and pray for the best
for all of you!! love Karley"s granddad Mike

Tom &
Jennifer: I am a friend of Tom and Nancy Norris and have kept up with
Ben's story. I just want to drop you a line to let you know that after I
read Ben's latest report (keep in mind I am at work) I laid my hand on
his picture and I cursed that cancer (just like Jesus cursed the fig
tree) and commanded it to die in the Name of Jesus (not my name, but the
Name of Jesus). I am believing for nothing less than perfect health for
little Ben and I am speaking God's word over his body that "with long
years of life will he satisfy Ben". So, we believe the report of the
Lord!!! Glory to God!!! Love you guys.
