Let me tell you that prayer works!! My Mom, who was J. Edgar Hoovers' Secretary in the mid forties, developed a 10 pound tumor on here liver and had surgery, just about 1 1/2 years ago, to remove it.

The best Dr.s had completely written her off. We finely found an excellent Dr. at a Medical College who would do the operation. Even he told her that she would probably die in surgery (the liver is a very tricky thing).

Mom has been a devout Christian her entire life. Let me tell you that she had no fear at all. I knew that Mom was strong, but this was the ultimate test of faith, and at 78 years of age.

We had over 400 people in prayer for Mom, she knew almost all of them!

Then came the moment of truth, the surgery, scheduled to take 5 hours. I held Mom's hand as they wheeled her into the operating room, not knowing if I would ever see her in this world again.

The operation was over in a little more than 2.5 hours. I was prepared for her death, and feared for the worst, but the Dr.s appeared and announced that the operation had been a complete success.

Today, at almost 80, Mom "serves the Lord with gladness"
