A Good Neighbor Idea From  In His Name Ministries

Primary Need

Pray for Larry's injured back.

They have no insurance, and cannot afford expensive testing and medical treatment.

Without him the ministry is stopped.

Bob D. asked his prayer group:

"Please pray for Larry and Kathy Stewart. Larry, a friend of Dee and Margaret Stribling of IHNM, injured his back and is unable to work. (you’ll remember that we prayed for Kathy some time back as she lost her Mom.) Pray that they be encouraged and strengthened, for their peace of mind during this difficult time, and  that they allow the joy of the Christmas season to minister to them as they focus on the arrival of the Christ Child."

"I am lifting you both up in prayer and my church, First Assembly of God, is praying for you.  We don't just put you on a list, we put you on the list and PRAY for you.  

"Lean on the Lord and Trust HIM.  He will see you through.  May he administer HIS healing touch, give you HIS peace,  so you can both be back singing and sharing HIS message wherever you go.  God Bless, Love in Christ, Pat"

 

From The Bible

Dec. 22nd UPDATE.  Larry's back pain has eased up.  He and Kathy sang last Sunday.

Dec. 24th UPDATE.

Larry's back continues to heal.  His doctor said five weeks of cautious activity.  Using a cane allows him to move about a bit.

They will travel from the L. A. area to Santa Fe for a 'gig', stopping frequently to rest.  After that they return to Alderson, OK.

Thanks to you who prayed.

 

The original story

Larry Stewart's injured back has curtailed their scheduled performances in churches in California.  It is a disaster to their ministry and to their finances.

Since 1982 the Stewarts, who now have six CD albums of their original music have traveled to churches from Indiana to California.  

Their home base is near McAlester, OK.

Margaret and Dee Stribling, founders and co-directors of In His Name Ministries, have known Larry and Kathy for 20 years. Dee said, "Making money has never been what draws them to one church over another.  They will travel for hundreds of miles to a church regardless of size."

   Larry drives the motor coach which is their home on the road. Gas costs are high and frequent breakdowns can be very expensive. 

They trust God and depend on his provision .

Larry makes minor repairs, and does most of the physical labor involved in carting heavy equipment in and out of the trailer.    

   Now he is flat on his back trying to recoup from a bad injury to his back.
