TJ's vitals are all still good, the BP a bit up in a good way.
Tomorrow morning's posts will probably be a bit delayed, the main poster (Jon) is going to sleep in for awhile. However, if anything of consequence happens I will be up immediately.
Again, thanks to all fo you for your prayers and encouragements, They really mean the world to us. Every one is printed off for the family to read, and for TJ when they take him out of the coma. Before the coma, he was reading them himself as well. It is also amazing for us -- the family -- to see how many people TJ has touched and influenced.
There is yet beauty and hope here. Praise be to God.

You are in our prayers. We appreciate the updates.
Bruce and Yvonne
I continue to pray for TJ and for all of you (the family). May God grant you strength, wisdom, rest and peace in the midst of all that is happening. I have shared TJ's situation with all my family and will add his name to the prayer list at our church. Praying for you all!
A few weeks ago TJ spoke at our church and said something so memorable I have been quoting it frequently to others. I have numerous personal situations for which his words have been a great encouragement to me, and it seems appropriate to share these words back to TJ and to his family at this time:
"No event occurs in our world which does not pass by the hand of God and which He does not use to build His church."
TJ also said, "Powerful times require the ability to see opportunity in crisis."
And also: "God has a hand in the circumstances of people's lives."
My prayer is that this crisis would indeed present opportunities to build the faith of all involved, and to ultimately build the Church. Our family is praying for strength for all of you and for total healing for TJ.
The entire staff of the First Evangelical Free Church of Fullerton has been alerted early, late, along the way, to pray for our dear brother. Those of us who know him personally--Jenni Key, Dan Crane, Dale Burke, John Coulombe--are keeping this before the friends who are a praying group of grand effect, and who know how to persevere in prayer. The updates go out to about 150 folks, who beseech the Great Physician and trust the Holy Spirit. Standing in this gap with you all there.
Praying for strength and rest amidst for the family; for wisdom for the physicians; for the healing of TJ; for Him to be glorified!

Last week, I traveled with Dave Rofkahr to Chiang Mai and Kuala Lumpur and all the RG families and national leaders who we met were praying for you. Our indonesian workers are praying for you too! You are lifted up by thousands of people around the globe who love and care for you!
My family is sending our love to you and your family. We keep praying for you!
Love,

Dear MaryAnn,
All of us here are thinking about you during this time and I wanted to let you know that. Our prayers are with you and your family as you deal with Tim’s condition. Just wanted to let you know that from the “Bunker Buddies”……Tom
Naomi Fausch telephoned me this morning to get an update. (She is having computer difficulties.)
She asked me to say that she is praying for you TJ and for all of you during this difficult time.
I am a friend of friends of TJ (WK and AA). Just want you to know that the canapy of prayer is expanding. The Lord has really graced me to pray for this precious servant even though I have never met him.
I also pray for the valiant team of loved ones who surround him and his family.

Jon & Chip. Margaret will try to call you from Zimbabwe shortly, there may be a short delay when she calls. Not a prank.
We are praying for you and your family. Praying for strength and peace. Rest in the Lord because He is at work. He is always faithful.
