At the funeral home last night Cameryn Howeth gave me the following note. I think it has to be one of the sweetest notes that I have ever received. I never want to forget it or her.

Yesterday afternoon, Janice Dunlop, wife of Evangelist Ed Dunlop, went home to be with the Lord she loves (Thursday, October 29, 2009). While she is home and in a better place, we will miss her. Please pray for Bro. Dunlop as he faces life without his sweetheart of 32 years.
Jan’s funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at 2:00 at Stanley Heights Baptist Church, 1512 McBrien Road, East Ridge, TN 37412. (a suburb of Chattanooga)
In memory of her home going, the family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Saulnier-Roberson Haven, Inc. jail and prison ministry, and Silent Word Ministries International – a ministry committed to the spread of the gospel to the deaf world-wide. Gifts will be received and distributed by the Stanley Heights Baptist Church, 1512 McBrien Road, East Ridge, TN 37412. You can contact the church at (423) 867-8060.
Bro. Dunlop has been a blessing and a friend to so many of us and it is our time to be a friend to him.

When Stephen and April Baker heard about my dad they did what they always do, they thought of others. They literally spent hundreds of dollars bringing food, gift cards, gifts, cooking, cleaning, taking care of dad etc. April really gave of herself.
Now the picture above may not let you know that she treated my grandkids well but she did. They spent the night last night at the Baker’s house. You always have fun around April.
Thank you April for being so kind, unselfish, giving, and helpful. You are a servant woman if I have ever known one. We love you.


The following came from the Victory Baptist Press newsletter from Pastor Tim Fellure:
We just got a call from Brother Humberto Gomez telling us that his twenty-six year old nephew, Nehemiah has been kidnapped in Mexico. The kidnappers are demanding a large sum of money, or, they say Nehemiah will be killed today (Thursday).
For more information you may call Humberto Gomez at
956-867-1281.UPDATE: Last night the kidnappers let Nehemiah call his dad, Jose Gomez and tell him he had until today (Friday) to pay the ransom money. From that we know that Nehemiah is still alive. Please pray much through out the day, it would also be deeply appreciated if you would forward this email to your friends and encourage them pray.
