My Christian Friends, brothers and sisters. One of our most kindest and generous Christian Brothers who has the name of Fred needs our prayers. Fred has dedicated his life to Friends, Family and strangers to the point of neglecting his own needs. He has dedicated his life to God and Jesus Christ.
Fred had a major stroke, and he is only 52. His problems keep on growing. He had another stroke while trying to heal this week. He has been to 5 different hospitals in the last 5 days, and needs surgery. The problem for Fred is caused because of cholesterol in his carotid artery. I believe this is because he neglected his own diet to save money to help other people. He is a man of simple needs like Jesus Christ.
My prayer is for this letter to reach our other Christian brothers and sister to help pray for Fred. I believe prayer in numbers.
Dear heavenly father, please heal and protect Fred and help him heal. I ask that you give Fred hope for healing, and to keep his Christian Faith. I pray for his family and friends so that there pain and sorrow may be minimized. But most of all God I pray that you and your son Jesus be with Fred tonight and always, to comfort him with the love and warmth only you can do. I pray this in your son Jesus name!
Amen
Thank you God!

Pray for Fred
I feel sad today. My best friend, or even more so my self adopted brother just 52 years of age had a stroke yesterday. He is in Michigan, and I am in Florida trying to put together all what just happened in the past 24 hours. It all seems like a whirl wind, a bad dream that you don't want to believe. The stories of Fred keep rolling in over the phone like a strange montage collage of the twilight zone.
You see things like this are not suppose to happen to guys that are physically fit and at such an early age.
Fred always wanted to be rich, and he tried many ways to achieve his dream. The problem was he was to nice, to honest, and couldn't be corrupted in his endeavours.
If you were cold he would give his jacket to you. I you were hungry he would feed you. if you needed some money he would give some to you with no questions asked. I know of two businesses today that would not exist if it weren't not for his generosity. People have gotten there homes and restaurants on loans from Fred that were never paid back. There were also Christmas gifts, and airline tickets that were never paid back. The thing was Fred loaned money on the idea that it would probably never be paid back anyway, To Fred, friends and family are more important to him money.
When somebody says don't worry I'll be there for you, he was. By shoveling snow, mowing lawn, fixing the neighbors car, raking leaves, moving, lifting, what ever it took to make someone else's day better.
But the best part of Fred is, listening, making you feel good and believing in yourself. I have known Fred for the 48 years out my 50 years of age, and he has never given up on me. I owe allot of what I am, and who I am because of you buddy.
Fred, I just want to say you are rich. Maybe not in monetary gains, but I don't know anyone else who is far more richer than you, in Christian Spiritual gains. People love you, your family loves you, and I love you, but most of all God really loves you.
People please pray for Fred to heal his stroke.
Thanks,
Your Brother Lee
