HEY YOU-


Joel and Paul

Okay so now that I have your attention I would like to recruit some of you for selfish purposes. My missionary, world changing, warrior for the Kingdom of God friends have been battling a weird illness. Paul, who, if you knew him, it would make sense that he would be the one to get something "weird", really, is a great guy, a little gassy , but great. First of all, he is married to my sisterfriend, Leah, which, by association makes him great. But aside from that he is an obedant servant to the Most High God. He loves the message of the cross and left the States to serve in Southeast Asia because he believed in his wife and her calling to set the captives free. What he did not realize at the time was that he was also called to the same task. Thus, his faithfulness brought prosperity through his photography. Let me tell you- this guy told me that when they tested him for field work, he tested out as an artistic genius. I am sitting there looking at him going, "yeah right , kid! Get a grip!" Well, guess what, turns out he really is an artistic genius, he photographed some of the most amazing pictures of Joel's food in like fifteen minutes. Totally impromptu. This past year, World Concern, the same organization where Leah is a Child Project Advisor, hired him on as their Digital Media Specialist. He has also photographed Jimmy Carter, and a wedding at the British Embassy- the ambassador's son. He is simply amazingly blessed to document the work they are doing there in Bangkok and surrounding countries.
Well, we have not even gotten to Leah. She felt called to minister to women sold into prostitution in Bangkok. In one year fifteen Women came out and were set free through Rahab ministries, the organization she worked for last year (2005). God did not stop there. He increased her territory from a grassroots outreach to FIVE NATIONS. HE opened doors for her to minister, and use the compassion He birthed in her to develop best practices to fight against the sex trafficking of children, as well as network development of other industry NGO's( nongovernment organization) in the region.
I can brag on them all day. God joined my heart to them. Their cause is my cause. Joel and I pray for them like they belong to us. Our hearts are burdened right now , our brother Paul is sick. He has had a fever for about a week. He had flu like symptoms and is still sitting at around 101 degrees F. He has a rash and is red all over. The enemys want to hurt him. I want him to be healed and continue in the work God has laid before him. Please stand with Joel and I for Paul's healing and Leah's protection. Thanks you guys! The gates of hell shall not prevail in the Cypert home. No weapon formed against them shall prosper! By HIS Stripes Paul is Healed! Stand Firm! Perfect Love will cast out all disease from Paul's body! Speak Life warriors!

I love all the pics of the kids. Beautiful! I will be calling Mia to babysit. I may not be the highest bidder, but I will be calling! I will also be praying for the Cyperts. I still have not had the privelage of meeting them, but I know what it's like to have a fever and you know I know what it's like to have an all-over rash, so I say "Be Gone in the name of Jesus!"

Thanks to everyone who is praying and has prayed. We took Paul back to hospital to check out the new rash and they are pretty sure he has some form of the measles. It was a bad case, but we are really hoping we are on the tail end of it. He is on antibiotics to prevent secondary infections that can happen with this illness such as pneumonia and meningitis. We are believing he will be back to his normal gassy self this week. Thanks to Trish for sounding the call. We so appreciate and love you!

When weird sickness comes it is a great time for our God to show off. Really messes with unbelievers minds when amazing healings take place.
