This is a missioary that I support in "Prayer" he finances all his own missions trips. Has never asked anyone to support him to go and spread the "Good News." Dear Brothers and sisters in Christ:: Im in Malaysia now. A couple days ago I met a guy at lunch who was from Bangladesh. I started talking to him about my vemma business and he was very interested. He appeared to to be quite wealthy and I found out he was in the garment business. We made plans to go out last night to shoot some pool together. When we arrived at the bar everyone knew him and treated him like royalty giving him everything on the house. He introduced me to the bar owner who was in the middle of a poker game with a bunch of risky looking characters. Then Mahbub and I sat down and talked a while. I was a little concerned because I could tell I was rubbing shoulders with a criminal element. I decided to put all my cards on the table and told Mahbub that I was a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ to which Mahbub who is into Islam didn't seem to flinch. Next they told me they had a gal they wanted to introduce me to and Mahbub told me I would have to give her some money and I could take her to my hotel. I told him I was not interested in that because of my relationship with Jesus. All of a sudden the gal arrived, a beautiful filipina gal of 22 named Jenny Santos. Mahbub said just go sit down with her and get her a drink and talk things over so we sat outside at a picnic table and talked. Jenny told me she had a son out of wedlock with a Chinese guy and he left her as soon as she was pregnant. When she had the baby and it was a boy they tried to take the baby so she had to flee the Philippines. Some guy paid her way to Malaysia and gave her a place to stay with the agreement that he would find her some work so she could pay him back. Well you can guess what work he found for her and he is now her pimp. We sat and talked under the watchful eyes of the pimps cronies. I talked to her about The Lord and she admitted she did not like what she was doing but was trapped into it. If she did not do it they would beat her up and also it would endanger her family back in Manila.I shared scripture with her and then asked her if she would like to receive the Lord to which she said yes but that this wasn't the best place to do it. I said you dont have to bow your head or close your eyes; you just have to repeat this prayer that I give you to repeat after me and really mean it from your heart and that she could be saved. She prayed with me and really meant it from her heart it appeared. Anyhow she really needs the Lord to intervene on her behalf. She still owes her pimp about $700 so he expects her to keep on working. I would have paid her debt but didnt feel led to because I am leaving tonight and would not be able to follow through and help her and she would end up back in the same position or even if i did pay it I doubt they would let her go so easily because she is a source of their income. I gave her my email address and caught a taxi back to my hotel realizing I was in a pretty risky situation since i was messing with their money earner. Please pray for her because she needs a miracle to which I told her God was able to perform on her behalf. Keep me in prayer also as I realize the devils crowd is not very happy when I try to steal one away from him. Gary PS : Share this with others that believe in the power of prayer.

Thank you all for watching this thread and your continued prayers. I would like to clarify the topic of suicide. That passed many many months ago. If she really wanted to die, she had multiple opportunities while battling aplastic anemia. She was literally given the opportunity to leave, or stay, and she has chosen to stay. Suicide is not even a factor anymore. Further, she has been allowed to go home and was able to spend Christmas with her children. She still has a long path to walk. Yet everyone is highly confident she will pull through completely and emerge, as a butterfly from the cocoon, transformed and bearing a new outlook on life. Thank you again everyone for your thoughts and prayers! Jon |

I also add my prayers for your friend. Life and fair just does not seem to go together. Faith, hope, love, and prayers for those we care about and those we may not even know . . . does. It matters not the name for the one that hears the prayers hears all and knows exactly the need. I will watch this thread for any updates and tell your friend that she has many that will remain beside her no matter what the outcome of her tests may be. The feeling of ALONE feeds the threat of suicide. Your friend is in my prayers. Hugs, Lesa Lesa Gay Aspiring Angel

praying PRAYERS ARE THE STAIRS Prayers are the stairs we must climb every day, if we would reach God there is no other way, for we learn to know God when we meet Him in prayer and ask Him to lighten our burden of care-- So start in the morning and, though the way's steep, climb ever upward 'til your eyes close in sleep-- For prayers are the stairs that lead to the Lord, and to meet Him in prayer is the climber's reward. eet Him in prayer and ask Him to lighten our burden of care-- So start in the morning and, though the way's steep, climb ever upward 'til your eyes close in sleep-- For prayers are the stairs to you my freind and your friend....

There has been so much sad news here lately, I'm shocked to find how many Starliter's and family are facing tough illnesses. I thought I might post an update to my friend's condition. She is still in intensive care quarantine, and is still far from out of the woods. Basically has no immune system right now. But, she has beaten very long odds so far, and her body is rebuilding the much needed bone marrow. There are complications arising from the meds, but at this point, she is almost certainly going to beat this overall and be able to return to a normal life. She will have to careful to avoid any major illness or infection for at least a year, but if she can go 3 years without relapse, she will probably never suffer a relapse. Much credit goes to her iron will and refusal to die, but I'd like to think the prayers have helped too... And in that, perhaps some inspiration for others facing long odds too. Prayer and an iron will to live are a potent combination. Thanks everyone for your prayers. Jon |

Man Jon what a testimony to the workings of prayer. And the last post where you tell us about your friend and her experinceing the here after and then coming back is REALLY an eye opener to the need and call for prayer. I am deeply touched by what you have told us here. AND MY PRAYERS for your friend will be ongoing until she is .......and I am believnig this.....all ok again. God bless you and may she continue to have hope and get well. ~Jacie~ ~Jacie Stralko Duca~ JMDUCA@webtv.net

Prayers are winging their way Heavenward as I write this, Jon. We believe in miracles and we believe God's Word that declares: by the stripes Jesus bore upon HIS body, we ARE healed. We shall hold your precious friend before the Lord, Jon ~ with faith that she is spared any more pain and suffering and able to live a blessed and productive life, in the name of JESUS. You ARE a special friend to her; may the Lord bless you and reward your love and kindness. Love and prayers, Maryxo |
