A Car Dealer, a Doctor, a preacher, and a new brother

It was -- and is -- an incredible story of healing and answered prayed.  Hunter Hanner has Guillain-Barre Syndrome.  Life threatening.  Touch and go.  In and out of the hospital.  But he comes from a strong family, his wife is strong, and his church family believe in the power of prayer.  Meals, child care, donations, help of all kinds.  It became an all church journey.  And God healed Hunter.

Dan has Guillain-Barre Syndrome also.  He thought no one else in Abilene struggled with this.  Until someone told him about Hunter.  So he called to talk about their journey.  Hunter gave him his testimony of God, Jesus, prayer, and the support of a church family.  Dan didn't have that.  So Hunter did what Christians do.  Invited him to come to church.  And picked him up to give him a ride.

So Dan saw a community of faith for himself. 

And he met an ER Doc there who offered to study.  So Dan would ask questions about things he had learned as a child that seemed different than what he was seeing.  And Dr. Bobby Lawson would just open the Bible and let Dan see things for himself.

And Dan met a preacher who asked if he wanted to just share Jesus stories over coffee.  And that is how I met Dan. 

Faith seen, questions answered, and Jesus shared.

And now Dan is our brother.

Gulliain-Barre is horrible.  But God used it for an incredible testimony from Hunter.  And He used it to connect Dan to a bunch of believers.

So thanks Dan Castillo for being open to God's call.  Thanks Hunter and all the Hanners for letting God use you all and for being willing to serve others.  Thanks Bobby for sharing the Word.

Go God.
