Brother Jim underwent angioplasty to insert a stent in his circumflex artery. He is at home, resting comfortably, and is deeply thankful for all of your prayers.

Thank you everyone out there who went before the Throne on our Pastor's behalf.

Prayers are Coming in From ALL OVER

After recieving news of Bro. Jim's condition, I posted a request for prayer on a religious message board.

People from across America have been chiming in with written prayers and encouragement.

Here's a sample:

Lord, be with this man, who has worked for you in loving faith. Be with those who love him as they wait and worry and pray. Bring your healing touch to all those, and guide the hands of those who care for him, and to all who listen to your voice, O Lord, touch them with your peace. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

I pray that your pastor may recover fully. May the Lord bless him and hold him.

May God quickly help you to heal, Brother Jim. And may you keep on preaching for years to come.

Prayers being sent for this man who is so dear to you, and to the spreading of God's word.

Gracious Lord, please heal Rev. Witherington of his chest pain problems and bring him back to good health if it be your will. Thank You for Your Son and Calvary.

God takes care of His own! Prayers for Pastor Jim, his family and friends. May God hold Jim safely in His protective and loving embrace, comfort his family and uplift their spirits. Amen.
