This prayer update is from Pastor Dan and Linda Johnson, regarding their twelve-year-old son, Ryan, who is recovering from a diabetic coma.
Ryan is gaining strength, walking with assistance, and able to read, write, and do math problems. His memory is good and improving. Although his rate of moving is slow, his motor skills are improving and he is able to tie his shoes, do buttons, and other similar tasks. Numerous doctors and nurses call Ryan a miracle. God is using Ryan’s experience to dramatically change lives. Thanks again for the faithful, effective prayers of God’s people.

Attention GARBC Pastors!
In 1999 the GARBC initiated an international partnership to reach out to associations of fundamental independent Baptist church associations around the globe. Our missionaries have been laboring abroad throughout our nearly eighty-year history. In many countries where the gospel has been fruitful, local churches have been established and they have formed associations, similar to our own. Fifty-four such associations have joined with us in the International Partnership of Fundamental Baptist Ministries (IPFBM). After ten years of correspondence and on-site visits by the GARBC directors, it is time to bring us all together for a first-ever IPFBM Conference to be held near Bangkok, Thailand at the beautiful Wangren Resort on November 4-7, 2009.
