Hello Dear Friends,

Tom and I want to ask you to join us in earnest prayer.

On Thursday, August 11, we went to see our oncologist. He is a very good doctor and believer. We like him very much; he is a really wonderful, caring person. A week before our visit I had another Ultrasound of my liver. This time it showed that the two tumors on my liver are growing and that in four months they have actually doubled in size.

During the last two and half weeks, I have been struggling with severe lower back pain. The previous tests showed that I had a couple of spots on the bones in that area. We are not sure, but after talking with our doctor, we understand the possibility that the pain might be caused by cancer as well. I'm also starting to experience some discomforts caused by my liver not functioning at its best, like lack of appetite and some nausea...

I asked our doctor to tell us honestly, in his medical opinion, how long it will take till death if things keep going the same way. He said in a few months. I asked him how this could look if I take chemo and perhaps some radiation. He said it might not work at all, it might work for a few months or this might help for several years.

As you see, there is no hope for complete healing if we look from the medical point of view. But from the beginning of this battle in 2004, we have hoped in the LORD. And since then, in our lives and ministry, He has shown Himself faithful time and time again.

We are standing on Abba’s promises and vision that He gave us when this battle began in 2004; promises of total destruction of this enemy, total restoration of health and a long life serving God and bearing His Kingdom fruit… all to His honor and glory!!! We are praying for my complete healing and restoration and a long fruitful life. We know and believe that for God everything is possible.

We ask you to join us in earnest prayer for complete healing. We believe that through this season, we will all be blessed by all God has for us! We all desire that God’s perfect will be done. At the same time, we know that in our love relationship with God, He desires to hear the deepest desires of His children. Please let Abba know if the desire of your heart is that He heals me, so I may live a long fruitful life serving Him.

I also want to share with you the verses that God has put on my heart and I encourage you to go and read these scriptures. They help me and teach me to pray in faith.
Hebrews 10:38, Hebrews 11:1, Hebrews 11:6, 2 King 20:1-11, Matthew 9:21-22

Please remember Tom also in your prayers. On August 18, he will have hip replacement surgery for his left hip.

We love you and pray that God will bless you beyond your imagination!!!

Your friends in Christ,

Beata & Tom

I Then Shall Live

Miracle at the Bridge

Miracle at the Bridge

Psalm 106:2

Who can list the glorious miracles of Your hand, Lord? Who can ever praise You half enough? 

The car was sliding out of control on the snow covered road. It was heading straight for the concrete bridge on the opposite side of the road. Bill George my friend had already doubled over in the floor board to brace for the crash. So had our other rider sitting in the middle of the front seat. I crossed my arms in front of my face to protect my face from the glass I was expecting to come.

What happened next is something we have talked about for the rest of our lives. It happened fifty years ago and is as real in my mind today as if it happened yesterday.

No crash! A miracle had just happen and we were in the middle of it, Praise God.

It was early morning, it was dark, it was Winter, it was snowing and the roads were very slick. We had eight o"clock classes at Belmont College(now Belmont University) two hours away. 

But God had a Miracle for three young college students that they would remember and talk about for the rest of their lives.

The above picture shows the tire tracks of the car heading for the bridge and how God miraculously moved the car to the middle of the bridge without so much as a scratch on either of us or the car. Yes, I do believe that God is still in the miracle business to day. 

For too many people today try to explain away God's miracles  as luck or karma. They then wonder why they never see any modern day miracles. It's kinda like the scene in the Santa Clause movie where Santa(Tim Allen) is still trying to figure it all out, looking out the window at the North Pole, says I see a Polar Bear directing traffic but I don't believe it. At which Judy the Elf says, "Seeing is not believing, believing is seeing." 

The next time something out of the ordinary happens to you, look very closely to see if it was God intervening on your behalf.

The greatest miracle ever in my life, is the miracle that happened when I took Christ as my personal Savior. From that day forward I have the knowledge that whatever happens to me(and a lot sure has) that I have the blessed assurance of eternal life in Heaven with Christ as my Savior.

One of the lessons I have ever learned is that there is nothing I can do to cause God to love me any more or any less than He already has. 

Our prayer for you who read this is that you have the assurance of eternal life through Christ Jesus, The Messiah. You can receive eternal life by praying this simple, but powerful prayer. 
 "Jesus, I ask you to forgive me for my sins(wrongdoings) and receive(accept) you the true Son of God as my personal Savior. Amen.


Please let us hear from you, we rejoice in your decision, we will pray for you.
We want to hear from you, have a need  let us know, we will pray for you and your family.
