It was on 7th June, Sunday when Uncle Bernard Hor lost his grip and tumbled off a roof. The hard fall to the ground fractured his leg, split his skull into hald, and damaged his lungs. Upon reaching HUKM, doctors noted that he might also be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his days due to a damage in his spinal cord. Upon admittance into ICU, Uncle Bernard had irregularly quick heart beats and high pressure from the expanding of his brain. Family members were told to prepare for the worst.

That Sunday service, CEFC prayed for them and on Monday afternoon, some of us got a message to gather in church the same night to pray for Uncle Bernard and his family. An operation was needed to relieve Uncle Bernard's condition but we prayed for complete healing without him going under a surgeon's knife.

"There is only 50% success rate for the surgery; of which 25% he will recover and be able to lead a normal life and the other 25% where he will be paralyzed", we were told that night.

On Tue morning, news came through that there might not be a need for surgery but worries still plagued many of our hearts. And as we continued on the prayer chain, the doctor announced that there is no need for surgery at all as the swelling in the brain was subsiding. On the same day, Uncle Bernard underwent a surgery for his fractured leg to prevent infection and the surgery was a success.

Today, another wave of relief came when the family was notified that Uncle Bernard's spinal cord is not affected by the fall hence he will be up and running in no time. His condition is much more stabilized currently and he had been taken off sedatives.

Brothers and sisters, every single item that you prayed for came to pass in Jesus's name. Therefore continue praying untill complete healing takes place. Aside the good news mentioned, Justin and Joshua's elder brother Julian was allowed to come home for 1 week to be with the family and their mother is also back from Holland. And guess what, because Julian works for the government there will be 70% discount on the hospital charges aside from insurance claims and monetary gifts from relatives. Ain't our God a great God?

The following are some prayer items:

• Surgery on the skull to be replaced with an artificial skull will not be needed. Instead, the bones will be joined together through God's healing.
• Uncle Bernard will have speedy recovering and be healthier than before.
  
• Uncle Bernard will not suffer from personality disorders due to damage in his brain.
• The salvation of the family. Uncle Bernard, his wife and Julian have yet to receive the Lord.
• Their financial burdens will be eased.

There will be a prayer meeting on Friday, 12th June in church at 8pm. Be there to pray even more mightily.

Dear brothers and sisters, this incident has not only brought the Hor family together but also us, as a family in the Body of Christ. Prayer helps us to believe for greater things from God and the claim for healing for Uncle Bernard causes our faith to rise. When the devil is all out for evil, God will intervene and turn the incident to good for His glory. Let us breakthrough in our walk with God and continue to pray unceasingly.

Remember, our prayer moves the hand of God. If we don't pray for the lost, who else would?
