He Died For Me… Ministries Blog

Ronnie and I will be in Lexington, SC on Sunday 11:00AM January 3 at the Rock Family Worship Center, 5041 Platt Springs Road, Lexington, SC.  We will then go to Aiken, SC for the 6:00PM service at the Bible Faith Holiness Church, 1 1/2 miles north of I-20 on Hwy 1…church on right.  Hope to see you there!

I lost a good friend today.  Mary Sorrells has been my friend for many years.  We have stayed in her home…ate at her table…held home prayer meetings in her living room…cried together and laughed together…shopped for ladies retreat door prizes together…shared our hearts together.  Sunday night at 8:20 she moved to a new city…she now lives in my fondest memories…in my heart…I will miss her…

Prayer partners please join with me praying for my youngest brother.  He was in ER today with staph infection in his knee.  He is on meds and being treated but we know where all healing originates….we had special prayer with him on Christmas but need my prayer partners to join with me until we hear that report of victory!  Thank you for your faithful prayers!

Thank God for a stable….and wise men….and shepherds seeing a star….for a baby born of a virgin!  Thank God for Jesus! 

We are scheduled to be in Millers Creek (near Wilkesboro), NC this weekend.  However, they are calling for 6-10 inches of snow in that area so we are waiting to hear from our pastor…possibly going to postpone until later time.  Watch for our update tonight or in the morning whether it is off or on. 

They are also calling for snow here on Saturday…not quite as much though.  Christmas is definitely here!  Watch for our next post!

We are on our way home today…stopped in Pigeon Forge to finish shopping.  I am finished!  Now to a little wrapping, some hot cocoa with marshmallows and Christmas music…all we need now is snow!  I love this time of year.  I pray you are having a wonderful, merry, merry Christmas countdown!  Don’t forget the reason of this season.  Because He lives…I now live also.  Thank you Jesus and Happy Birthday.

We are at the end of our South Carolina Campmeeting in Langley at the Full Gospel Redemption Center.  We are having such great meetings, such wonderful fellowship and His presence goes without words to describe. 

The first morning service Thursday we had a sister from the local church receive a healing in her deaf ear instantly and another sister tonight that had suffered with static in her ear for 3 years healed during altar service.  God has been so gracious to us this week!  It has been so refreshing to see the touch of God come to His people.  We have surely come in one way and left another way!

The women of Redemption Center have served us a wonderful meal twice a day…after morning and evening services.  They have a real servant’s heart and it has been evident this week.  We want to thank all the women that worked so hard to take care of all the people coming to the Campmeeting.

One more day…still not too late to join us Saturday 10:00AM, Langley Christmas parade at 3:00PM, then last service at 7:30PM tomorrow night.  Hope to see you here! 

We started a page on Facebook this week.  I will probably not be writing much on there…I like my blog.  We will use facebook to post our schedule and upcoming meetings.  If you are on facebook and want to stop by our page, type in Becky Trammell.  This is a new experience for me…please bear with me as I learn the ropes.

Thank you for being patient with us during our web site difficulty.  I received calls and emails letting me know we had a problem but unfortunately I could not blog…no site!  Our address was sending everyone to a document shredding company in Boone, NC on Friday and Saturday.  I must admit it was an awful feeling not being able to get to our site or go to the blog to let you know we were working on the problem.  At any rate, we are back and hopefully up to par. 

We are preparing for our South Carolina Campmeeting this week with Mike and Cecil.  Ronnie and I are in Florida in 75 degree weather and my Mom just emailed snow at my house.  I have both summer and winter clothes in my vehicle just in case.

We just finished our meetings for last week and the Lord visited in a special way.  I am so thankful for His presence, His touch and His voice.  I can’t help but think of the blind climber who reached the summit on Mt Everest.  He said..”I listen to the sound of space around me: sound vibrations are constantly bouncing off objects and coming back at us.  You can hear the sound of open space and closed space.  When I’m near a drop off, I can hear it!”  If he can train his ear to hear and keep him safe on top of Mt Everest…we can learn to hear His voice and walk safely in this world!  I want to hear Him!

My sister received an email from the young girl going to Switzerland (with her sister) for Thanksgiving to have treatment for her cancer.  They had given her no hope here with tumors all over her body.   The ladies will remember praying for her at the retreat…I was thanking God my sister was with me at the retreat.  She arrived in Switzerland and received her test…but NO TUMORS!  Still has some cancer in her liver that they will treat but NO TUMORS….she was given a few hours to take a walk with her sister and was going to have Thanksgiving out of the hospital! Here is a clip from her email:

Hello everyone–sorry for the mass email but I just wanted to send along an update on my sister’s health.  On Monday she received an injection of yytrium radiation that “lights up” all tumors throughout her body containing her particular form of carcinoid cancer.  Today (Tuesday) a full body scan was completed to indicate what areas of her body contain the tumors.  The initial report  is that there is NO activity anywhere else in her body except in her liver. The activity in her liver is extensive, but this is nothing different than what we already knew. We were unsure whether the tumors that had metastasized to her lung (and been surgically removed last June) had spread further in the lung or to other parts of her body.  The fact that the radiation lit up so much is good news because that means that the yytrium was able to find all of the receptors and light up all of the tumors.  If the yytrium can find the tumors then the doctor said that usually means the treatment will work!!!! So, the news today is very good!!! She has had absolutely no ill effects from the treatment (pain or nausea) and the doctor noted that if she were going to have effects she would already be experiencing them.  So that is also very good news!  She tires very easily, but that is to be expected.  She actually was allowed out of the hospital for a few hours today to take a walk and as we  walked back into the hospital, Judy said that if she had been able to take a walk during her stays at the hospital in Pittsburgh normally she would have been walking back to the hospital in tears knowing that she had to go back in, but today as she walked in she said she had no ill feelings at all and actually felt relieved–and that was before she knew the doctor’s report.  So, the good news is also that she feels secure, safe, and positive about her experience in the hospital so she won’t have any problems when she comes back, which will be on February 1st.  So, honestly I don’t think we could ask for a better Thanksgiving present–there is LOTS for which to be thankful!!!

Thank you to all that has prayed in agreement with us for this young girl.  We are so very thankful to hear this good report.  Keep her in your prayers until her return in February!  God still answers prayer!
