A little boy would love your prayers....

[Stepharoonie!]

YES, this is real. If you want to visit his webpage, you can here. I would like to think he gets hundreds of these beeps a day...

The prayer request is for a little boy in Tifton......

The Prayer is for Joe William Sheffield (he is 9-years old)—his mother is a teacher in the school system in Tifton, Georgia. They attend First Baptist Church in Tifton. He has been diagnosed with cancer and began his Chemo on Christmas Eve.

First Baptist has a program called the Prayer Beeper. When you pray for this child, call this toll free number 1-877-546-0248. Listen to the recording and input number 733#.

What happens is this child wears the beeper and every time it vibrates he knows somewhere someone is lifting him up in prayer! What a wonderful ministry. I just did this myself—what an awesome blessing for this little boy every time he gets a buzz...and what a blessing for us to know that we are showing him God's love in such a quick way.

Please take a minute out of your day to say a prayer for Joe William...I am sure it means a lot to him and helps keep his spirits up every time he gets a "beep".

Please pass this along to all of your friends so Joe will know that even people that don't know him still care enough to say a prayer for him.

Poor little boy . I had just beeped him. I hope he doesn't wake up from hearing his beeper . At least he knows that someone is praying for him and thinking of him.

I did this early this afternoon when I first heard about it. It must be wonderful to him to hear those beeps throughout the day
