Oct 8, 2016 — More on Dan Hall’s Recovery

Dan is making remarkable strides medically following a severe spinal cord injury. I visited with him and Hazel yesterday in Houston, and am amazed at his progress. The journey ahead is a very long one, but both Dan and Hazel are facing it all with a powerful sense of God’s presence, as well as a powerful sense of appreciation for both the medical staff and the financial help of so many.”

Thanks to all who have made contributions! And remember the apostolic counsel (which is the Christian life condensed into a single sentence), “Bear ye one another’s burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2)

Dan Hall, husband of our daughter Hazel, is recovering from a horrific spinal cord injury. Dan is paralyzed and will be in therapy for months, we are told. Many have asked about helping them. I am asking you to pray for both of them (and their children and grandchildren). That comes first.  I am asking God to heal Dan and triple the effect of his ministry — which has been characterized by abundant fruit for decades! — through this experience.  

If you wish to help financially, that would be welcomed, of course. Neither of them would ask for such help, but I am, echoing the request by Dr. Roger Patterson, senior pastor of the West University Baptist Church in Houston, and long-time friend of the Halls (and a church to which Dan has often ministered.) 

You may give any way you wish, but I suggest: make checks payable to West University Baptist Church and mail to Dan Hall Benevolence Fund, c/o West University Baptist Church, 6218 Auden Street, Houston, TX 77005.  The church has been wonderfully helpful to Dan and Hazel.  (Do not put Dan’s name on the check; that would render the gift non-deductible. That releases the control of your contribution to the benevolence committee which will attempt to meet the needs of the family and make your gift tax deductible.)  

Thank you, in advance of whatever help you may be to Dan and Hazel, and my God richly reward you as He so often promised. I am thinking here, initially, of Jesus’ stunning words in that regard recorded in:

 

He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me. He who receives a prophet in name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall be no means lose his reward.

SEND THIS NOTE OUT TO YOUR FRIEND LIST IF YOU FEEL FREE TO.  

God bless you.
