Again, let me say how very much my wife and I appreciate all of the prayers that were brought before the throne of God in behalf of Bethani's emergency. Thank you for all of the wonderful cards and letters that have been mailed and for those that stood by us during this trauma.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts."

Hi Bethani! I just got caught up on all the blogs from this weekend. As you know I was in Concord this weekend and the Mckeever's computer wasn't working so I was going through serious withdrawls. But It really helped that we were able to come by and visit you while we were there and see how you were doing firsthand!!! I'm so glad we were able to bring a little bit of JOY and a smile to your face. I know you said we made your day but to be honest it was the highlight of our weekend. I couldn't believe how strong you were walking those halls and climbing those steps. I'm so proud of you Bethani.
I'm glad they are keeping you a while longer. Take advantage of Dr.(Grey A.) as much as you can! ;)
Love you girl! ~ Crystal
We love you all.

Did I mention that the pink hue sets well with the potpourri bowl I just put next to the computer?
I like what you've done with the place. Clara said to use tie-dye if you decide to start messing with the html codes . . .

Brian and Bethani,
We love you and have joined with the rest of God's family in praying for you over the last few weeks. You are both special people to us. As events have unfolded over the past few weeks, it brought it home to us again that the Lord takes care of those that are His. The Lord is so wonderful! We will continue praying for you along with the rest of the family of God during this time of recovery and know that the Lord will continue to bless you during this time and in His ministry.
Love and Prayers,
Gordon and Linda
Bro. and Sis. Bishop,
Bethani is blessed to have you as her parents. Your spiritual and emotional strength in this situation has surely been vital and essential during Bethani's recovery. Thank you for continuing to be the amazing people that you are, and for lifting Bethani and Brian up during this trial.
We are rejoicing with you during this time of Thanksgiving, and we too stand in awe of our GREAT GOD. Also, our prayers for Bethani's continued recovery are pointed upward.
Loves and Hugs to all of you,
Karissa
Dear Precious Bishop Family,
It is a great honour and priviledge to lift you all up in prayer during this time. Your sacrifice that you have blessed our church family with has been great. You have always been there to encourage us, pray for us and help us along. So glad that We, your church family, can be there for you now. The unity in this endeavor to hold you up in prayer and fasting as a church family is beautiful! We miss you all, yet are so glad to know that you are able to be there together.
Oh! and please don't feel too pressured to hurry and get home to pastor your flock as I know may be the case. We're in God's hands too and he knows what he's doing.
It's so good to know that we can put each other into God's hands and trust him!
God Bless You, The Robinson Family

I've been catching up on the news, Thank you Crystal for the tips!
Bethani, You and your family have more power with God than you can imagine. And it's clear you have a big job ahead that HE is not letting you get out of. :0)
We are continuing in prayer for all of you, and THANK YOU FOR THE UPTATES!

WOW! Church yesturday was so amazing compared to last Sunday. We were under such a huge burden for Bethani and the whole family. Todays service was incredible with so much rejoicing and thankfulness. We all love you so much Bro and Sis Bishop. You are still so much in our prayers and daily thoughts. I have seen the Lord work things out in my life and others around me my whole walk with Him, but this has got to be the most amazing thing I've seen done. I always know that He is bigger than all our problems and I know you do also, but it's hard to not worry when you are in the thick of it. My mom heard a sermon on the POA site the day before Bethani's transplant and the preacher said the Lord told him to tell everyone that "Daddy's on His way". WE KNEW THAT WAS STRAIGHT FROM THE THRONE FOR YOUR FAMILY!! We love you always! And we are so BLESSED to have such a wonderful pastor and pastors wife as our leaders.
Have a blessed day!
Sis Cheryl

Its amazing what one week can make! In Gods presence is fullness of joy. It was good to have Bro and Sis Flowers and the girls home with us in church on Sunday. I know their hearts are overwhelmed and in awe with all that has transpired. I pray now for the spirit of peace and rest to be with the whole extended Bishop family this week as we give thanks for His mighty acts and the family of God. Happy Thanksgiving to you all. We Love you more than words can say. Bro and Sis Bates
Bro and Sis Bishop,
I just wanted to say how much you mean to us. You will never know how far reaching your ministry and Godly sacrifices go. We are parents who "almost" lost a child. But Gods mercy reached down and interveined and saved the life of "our little girl". But it was the future I feared. We have VICTORY today because of the prayers of your daughter and her husband, and their burden to intercede for us. God bless you and keep you. His abilities far surpass our burdens. "He is more than enough". We love you and continue to pray. His wisdom and strength will carry you.
So glad to see you're going home. Can't wait to see you and the rest of the family.
Chris & Kellie Miller
Bethani,
Glad to hear more good news! God is so good! Hang in there!
Love ya,
Heather Potter (Johnson)
This Thanksgiving you all will have two more thing to be thankful for than you did last year. A new baby boy and a life that was spared in the nick of time. We never know what a year will bring us, but we know WHO will bring us through. We are rejoicing with you.
Love to all.
Bro. & Sis. Mullings
Dear Bethani,
It was so great to see you looking so great! I know God is good and what he does is so awesome, but I have to admit that I didn't expect you to look that good! (it doesn't seem fair for someone to look sooo good after going through all that you did). We love you and your family. Dennis and Debbie
