 all joined hands with us and
 led us in a very spirit-filled
.d prayer. I just want to share
to testimony that they were
 the most humble ihdividu- '
en, als you could ever meet. In
 no way did they behave like
k they'd just four days prior,
 won a National Champi-
;h onship! God has found resi-
e dence in many of our FLori-
of da Gator'Football team
 members, and it was evi-
 dent on this occasion.

 They offered to come back,
if to see Jacob and hugged our
 necks as they parted. It just
*e so happened that on the day
u a that they visited, was the
 day of Jacob's biggest
 surgery. that left him with'
 the most pain and grafts of
e, any of all of his procedures.
 They do not know that to
o this day as, at the time, we
il. didn't know it would be ei-
o their. This tells me thatGod
it sent them on the day that
:s Jacob needed them the
 most.
an-
if- Please continue to pray for
 Jacob's this is the most out
Ja- of anything that Jacob re-
" ceived while in the hospital.
y Thank you to all.the prayer
 warriors. Immediately after
 '. the accident, prayer chains
 were started and even ex-
 tended to Brazil. Jacob
or walked through the fire and
-it lived totell everyone how
 God brought him out of it.
 Thank ypu to God.

ey John and Christine Lubin
