Quick Personal Update and Important Prayer Request

Posted in Uncategorized by kylegebhart on July 5th, 2008

Early on Friday morning (2:30 AM) my father passed away. It was a sudden onset illness related to bloodflow shutting down to his bowels.

Please keep me and my sister (Jennifer) in prayer as we mourn.

I was able to speak with him on the phone for a few minutes on Friday before he died, a real blessing.

Jacob Burkhalter and Zack Hensley made the long drive out with me yesterday, and will be here to support me. I’m very thankful for that.

I have confidence in my father’s love for Jesus and that I do not mourn without hope of seeing him again, I’m also very thankful for that.

If you want to help in some very practical ways, please email Bret Mavrich (bretmavrich@ihop.org) and let him know you would like to help. He can give you the details.

I’ll be back in Kansas City after the memorial service on Wednesday.

Blessings,

Kyle

    Just read your post. By now you are making your way back to Kansas City. I know what this is like. Grace to you!

    Kyle — I am saddened to hear that. On the extreme other hand, I am very grateful that your father knows the love of his Father. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family.

    Though the sorry may last for the night, His joy comes in the morning.

    hey kyle,

    our thoughts are with you. even with the comfort of the saviour’s hand, it is difficult to lose the luxuries of communication and warm-blooded contact that we otherwise take for granted.

    love and prayers,

    the williamsons
