I want to ask you all to do me a huge favor.
There is a family that I've come to know over the internet.
The mother and dad are Ben and Becky Powell. They have a son named Ethan who is almost a year old.
For the last 10 months, Ethan has been fighting leukemia.
He is now losing that battle. He's begun to have seizures, the chemo doesn't seem to be working and yesterday they found a lesion on his brain. They aren't sure what that is, but as most of you know, if cancer is going to spread, nine times out of 10 it is going to spread up. This has me so worried.
Ethan has a website that is simply www.ethanpowell.com
This isn't a request for money for research or for Ethan. You don't have to purchase his bracelets or his t-shirts or his music that folks have set up to help with hospital expenses. (Imagine 10 months in the hospital)
All I am asking is that you lift this precious family up to our Father in Heaven. Ask for a complete healing for this baby so that he can grow up big and strong and play with other children his own age, rather than being in this hospital hooked up to iv's and other paraphenalia.
Ask for peace for Ben and Becky. They are tired. Physically and mentally.
Make sure that you go in and place a pin on the map to let them know that prayers are being sent up from your city.
Thanks to all of you in advance who will pray for this young family.

I cannot even imagine what it would be like to have a sick child. It is enought to make me wake up screaming. You have very wisely asked for something that absolutely everyone can afford to do and will help tremendously. There is no limit to the power of prayer. I will hit my knees for that sweet boy and his family. Thank you for letting us know and make sure you keep us updated.

things seem to be going downhill for this precious family and my heart is just breaking. I can't imagine the horror of having to stand by and watch your child die before his first birthday. did you check out the website? Ben posted new pics of Ethan....
