william the warrior
Many of you know. Some of you do not. So this is only a brief snapshot that will conclude with a request. It is a request that we’re all capable of fulfilling. Simply, I (we) request your prayers and faithful hope on behalf of William and our family.
Patti and I found out in February that our sixth grandchild, who is to be born sometime between today and Thursday (June 28th), is facing a few challenges as soon as he arrives from his mother’s womb. An ultrasound revealed that the left side of William’s heart is pretty much non-functional. So, as soon as he is born, he will be facing an open-heart surgery to bypass the complications. This will be the first of three heart surgery’s that William will have by the time he is 2-years old. William also only has one kidney, but it is fully functional and adequately carrying the load.
Our family has grieved some only because no one wants their kid(s) to go through what William is facing. But, we are strengthened by several factors. First, there may not be a better surgical team or hospital in the world that will be caring for our little guy. Second, we have been speaking to and praying for William for the last five months. By now, he surely knows in the Spirit, that he is important to us, loved by us, and graced with purpose and the magnificent love of God. Third, we have already felt your prayers. So thank you.
There are many moving parts to this story. So, not to overwhelm anyone with details, just know that we welcome you to share with anyone you know for more prayer. In fact the more the merrier! The Lord Jesus promised his presence in times like this. In regards to this promise… we are most confident!
After the surgery, William Michael Brewer will spend extended time in the Cardiac NICU at Children’s Hospital in Denver. William has a couple of older sisters who will spend a lot of time away from their parents over the next 5-6 weeks. As I said, lots of moving parts, quite a few needs, with grace to cover it all.
So, I unashamedly ask and thank you in advance for your prayers and warm thoughts! You are a great comfort to us all.
We are grateful for your amazing love!
Mike & Patti

God knows this young man, William the Warrior, and will use him mightily for His kingdom. There will be joys and struggles and God will be there. There will be healing and pain and God will be there. There will be miracles and setbacks and God will be there. All I know, for sure, is that God will be there. You will not be able to see what He is doing and with eyes wide open you will see what He is doing. God will be there. God loves William and all of you, whom He has assigned to be caretakers of this child. God will be there. Above all, God will be there!
Many thanks Debbie!

Oh guys, we can absolutely relate to what you are facing with our first Grands being born at 27 weeks and weighing in at 2 lbs 10 oz. and one having four surgeries within the first month of his precious life. We will definitely stand in the gap for you as this beautiful baby is being brought into this world. This is the first that we have heard of your news but know that your grandson and all of you are being lifted up during this journey!🙏😘
Much prayer and love,
Tom and Dana
Thank you friends!

Thank you Regina!
In the name of Jesus, we pray for William that his surgery Monday is a total success and that you dear Lord will be with William every second wrapping your arms around him keeping him safe and not in pain. We also pray for much wisdom for the doctors that will be working on William. Please work through them Lord so that William will be in great health afterward. We also pray for the peace that passes all understanding to keep William’s parents, grandparents and siblings in total peace throughout this time. Please fill them all up with your Holy Spirit!!! In Jesus precious name, AMEN!!!
Thank you very much!
Praying and sharing with others about your precious grandson William.
