Prayer Request for Gabe's Healing and Guidance

As some of you may know, our son Gabe’s youth group is attending the Lifeway Student Life camp this week in Ridgecrest, NC. Last night, we received a call that Gabe had hit his head while on the bus in the parking lot when it went over a bump. He was a bit woozy, off balance, and speaking slowly, so we decided to have him checked out at an ER in Asheville, which is about 20 minutes away.

I stayed on the phone with him while two of the pastors drove him to the hospital. Gabe sounded fine the whole way there and didn’t show any symptoms of a concussion, something we’re very familiar with as our daughter has had multiple concussions. We didn’t want to take any chances, especially with her history of head injuries.

By God's grace, Gabe was given a clean bill of health. Greg drove through the night to be there with him by 3 AM, and they’re almost home now, expecting to arrive by 3 PM today. Despite everything, Gabe is still scheduled to rehearse with the VBS worship team until 6 PM.

We would love for you to pray for continued healing, protection, and guidance for Gabe. As a family, we’ve seen firsthand how God has worked in our lives, especially through our daughter’s long battle with chronic headaches when she was in high school, and we know that Gabe is also under God’s care. Tori had 5 different types of headaches all of her head for 3 years straight 24/7 with no relief and over 3 neurologists that just threw medicines at it (never could come up with what was wrong) and botox injections that all hurt her and did nothing, but God ended up healing her 1 at a time...we just knew Gabe was under attack.

He has had an amazing time and two of their youth friends were saved the previous night. Gabe shared that the Holy Spirit has been moving powerfully during the camp, and many of the youth were on their knees in worship and prayer together at the altar.

A little about Gabe: He just turned 18 and is entering his senior year of high school. He has auditory processing disorder, dyslexia, and comprehension delays, but he continues to push through these challenges. He loves the Lord and dreams of becoming a pastry chef with a home bakery business, possibly adding bookkeeping to the mix (he’s great at math and has been enjoying accounting 1 this year, plus momma has worked in accounting fields over the years so he is definitely ours!).

We ask that you please keep Gabe in your daily prayers for healing, protection, and guidance as he prepares for the future God has planned for him. Thank you for being part of our family and for your prayers.

Blessings,
