Stacy has prayed for her father,Vincent for twenty years.

Her tears spoke volume when they flowed from her eyes, and rare were the dry eyes that night as people watched and listened to their story. Vincent looked on, beaming from sharing his baptism experience of this last year. His joy mirrored that of his wife,Pat a couple of months ago!

A previous post from this blog recounts a little of her testimony in regards to prevailing prayers. She couldn’t be there at House of Prayer Experience since she was on teaching assignment in Jamaica.

During the week, she had sent a note to Pastors Derek and Sabine regarding her husband’s desire for special prayer and anointing as he ventures into setting up a health store business that would serve to glorify God and educate people regarding health principles.

Ruthie Jacobsen, the Prayer Coordinator for the North American Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church along with her pastor husband, Don Jacobson (pictured above with Stacy, her dad and Pastor Derek) joined in praying a prayer of blessing for Vincent and his young adult daughter.

What do we learn from their story?

Never give up praying for someone you love-even if it means surrendering them safely into God’s heart. Trust God’s love for them and for you.

See you at H.o.P.E next week! 🙂
