  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hi All,

Thanks again for the continued prayers.  Amanda is making more progress, and now has full range of movement in both arms.  She is also starting to feel more in her abdomen, which continues a pattern of movement as the swelling in her neck goes down.  She still has no movement in her fingers or her legs, but says she is starting to feel new sensations.  Of course, only time will tell, but God is still working miracles in her body.  She is now well enough that I can take her out of the hospital for dinner.  Please continue to pray for miraculous healing, He is answering the prayers.

We received a letter from an eye surgery center in Salt Lake City, UT saying that Caira's eyes were transplanted into a 26 year old man, restoring his sight.  It is truly a blessing to know that she gave such a gift.  Yet another miracle God has worked through this tragedy.  We are still waiting to hear about her heart, but I hope that a child somewhere lives because of our daughter's gift. 

I am back at home working and trying to get our new house handicapped accessible.  I am now 4 hours away from Amanda during the week, which is very hard.  Please pray for us as we endure this separation and all of the stress that goes with our situation. 

Thank you, and God bless all of you for your kindness.

-Matt

Brother Matt,

Thank you so much for this update. My eyes are filled with tears of joy for you and Amanda and the young man who has been given the wonderous gift of sight--what a wonderous miracle from God and a priceless gift from Caira.

Matt, you are such a blessing to Amanda. God is using you mightily. Your words are a great witness to your faith, and a great witness to the power of prayer and the deep love of God for all of us. I am amazed at your strength and courage, it is truely God's strength upholding you with His righteous Hand. May God's love and blessings surround you and give you continual strength to see you thru.

I pray for Amanda, that her spirit will be healed from all her sadness and that her body will once again be perfect and whole. I pray that each day will bring forth more healing in Amanda's body, and that even the Holy Spirit would nourish every cell, bringing the healing touch of Jesus to every cell in her body.

God bless you, Matt and Amanda.

Matt-

Thanks for posting this. I do wonder as I lift your family in prayer how things are progressing. I am so glad that in this tradegy you can still see God working. It is helpful to know that even through your sadness a young man has been restored his sight because of the gift of Caira's eyes. And who knows how many other lives she may touch.

You and your family are surely sitting an example of how to fully trust God when we just can't understand the tradegy that befalls us in our lives. Thank you for this. I pray that God will continue to heal Amanda, physically, emotionally and spiritually. I also pray that He will be close to your whole family and that He continue to provide you with the strength and courage you need.

Matt, just know that you, Amanda, and the rest of your family are in our hearts and prayers.
