Hello Everybody!
The Soderstrom family wants to again thank everyone for their amazing support, love, and prayers!

The last two days and nights have been an amazing time of worship and prayer. We have officially broken our record of 16 people in the hospital room praying at once. Tuesday night many youth from the Monroe Park Vineyard youth group and many adults from a Bethel Christian Fellowship small group interceded around my father's bed in rotation. Many people received words of encouragement for my family and had amazing encounters with the holy spirit that is so thick in the room thanks to your prayers.

A few weeks ago a Pastor from Monroe Park Vineyard Church had a vision of God out pouring a golden pool of healing for others from my father's bedside. One Tuesday night, two youth in particular broke down during prayer and song and experienced inner healing for themselves. Others also had strong encounters. (They may write their own testimonies on this blog soon*) A women also had a burn on her hand totally healed! So God is doing truly beautiful things for His kingdom as we give our father to His protection.

*When Rachael was there she thought she saw your dads eyes open and he was looking around trying to figure out where he was. She saw blue eyes. She looked again and his eyes were closed. I don't know if she saw something in the spirit or not. Does he have blue eyes. ALso a young man in our church who has been having struggles with bitterness , it broke last night in your dads hospital room. He is a changed man!!! Gos is so good!!! Your dad is in my thoughts and prayers along with the rest of you!!

In the natural, the doctors have continued to say there is nothing they can do for more my father. This morning we discussed the option of dialysis to help his failing kidneys, but it was concluded that it would be far too risky a procedure for my father's delicate state. He is truly in the Lord hands now. My family and I are standing strong in faith in wait for the miracle promised from the Lord.
We wait for the Lord.
Christian has always said that his family and his house follow the Lord.

Bethel Church has been providing community members to spend the night with my father so my mother and I can rest at home. They have also been bringing dinners and food! Many others from the community have been bringing provision as well. I want to thank you all so much for your support again! It's been beautiful and incredibly moving for me to watch the Lord's provision and His faithfulness.
