Hi, my name is Hannah and I, along with my 3 brothers, wanted to set up a fundraiser for our Dad, James Friend. We want to set this up for him and my mom, to help carry the weight of being in the ICU, all of the countless tests he is having and the financial burden this is bringing for them. He is currently living about 45 minutes away from the closest hospital, and the Dr told us that when he is released, it would be a good idea to have him stay close in the Erie area. We would love to set him up in a nice hotel for a week or two as he recovers, with the least amount of stress. If you feel led to give to them financially, I know they are extremely blessed by it. Thank you all for the love we have all received through this time we are walking through. Love you all! My dad's story is below:

Hello everyone!

Without getting into all the tiny details, we are asking everyone to pause what you’re doing today to take some time to PRAY with us!

Our Pastor James is currently in the hospital. He’s in the ICU with a small blood clot in one of his arteries going to his brain. Will you please join us in declaring a miraculous miracle to take place right now?

I know that God is not done with our Pastor, that there are still more lives to reach and more sermons to be preached.

We understand the heart of you all to want to go into the hospital and see him, but at this time we are asking you to leave visiting to family only. The hospital is not allowing many people to see him. He does have his phone to receive texts, but please don’t call him. If he doesn’t respond, just know he is getting your messages and appreciates your thoughtfulness.

Please join us in believing that God has the final say! Each persons mountains look different, today our Pastors mountain is in his health. We are declaring this mountain be moved!

Psalms 97:5 “The mountains take one look at God and melt like wax in the presence of the Lord!..”

He has another scan on Wednesday and we believe that the blood clot will be gone! We are praising God for what He has already done and what He is about to do!
