Lesli,

You "listened" to The Least of These?  I don't know anything about
that audio.  Have you seen the DVD, "The Least of These"?  A great
short film that one lots of awards.  I highly recommend it.  I showed
it to our Bible Study group and had a great response.

Have a GREAT week!


Michael

Lesli,

There have been several times in the past where people (myself included) have
posted prayer requests
and concerns on to this group.  To the best of my knowledge, they all were
warmly received.  I see no
particular problem for you to having mentioned this here.  There is power in
prayer -- my church is
personally seeing that in some miraculous ways.  I believe that prayer can make
a difference in
situations.  I believe that a friend of mine is alive today only because of
prayer.  As for your original
sharing of concerns -- I trust God shows you His will and His direction through
it all.

Hello Bob group. I know many of you are people of prayer and have much
wisdom in Christ, so I'm sending across the vast internet via Bob's
old yahoo group....because he is a man of compassion and was a man of
the tombs....and I know many here have the same heart of compassion.

Need prayer support and help. Working at a Christian Bookstore in
Culpeper, VA. Married a prisoner. Homeschooling one daughter.

-need the local church to support this local bookstore.


-prisoners at Coffeewood Correctional Center are ordering books and
CD's from us but have such limited income that we would like to have a
fund set aside to help de-fray the costs for prisoners.

-need prayer because the DOC (Dept. of Corrections) is such a
bureaucratic compassionless system that makes it very difficult for
Christians to bring the word of God, teaching, dicipleship, mentoring,
etc.

-govt. programs do not replace the work of God's people.

-worldly fear and propoganda keep Christians from visiting and loving
those in prison.  We need to obey Jesus words from Matthew 25.

-Michelle and I (Lesli) are so computer unsavvy and have no website up
and in fact her computer has crashed twice losing all store inventory
and we are now stuck with no cash register connection.

-Many Christians in town say they will help, but their words have been
empty promises.

Your friend in Christ,
Lesli Manto

I got an email from John Standefer's web-page announcing the arrival
of Six String Prayers.

Hey Bob - update your page!!! As much as I am a fan of John, I wanna
throw my money at you.

Hello from Albany Georgia,

I am once again on location for the next movie from the church that
produced Facing The Giants. Needless to say, the enemy has mounted a
strong attack against us. My mother is fighting for her life in the
hospital in Tampa. The Director of Photography's family has also been
taken to the hospital with an undisclosed problem, and just now, we
just got a call that the Assistant Camera Operator, Chip, was in a
near fatal car accident near Gainesville, Florida, on his way back to
Albany. The DP and the co-producer have diverted from their trip back
here from Orlando to that hospital and I am awaiting word. Chip had to
be cut from his car and life flighted to the hospital. He is in grave
condition.

Please pray for the hand of our gracious Lord to touch Chip, keep him
alive, and restore him to health. Also pray for my mom, and for Bob's
family. I am not sure if we will try to shoot tomorrow. It was to be
our big scene involving a train and two crashed cars. Very hard to do
and a challenge for us all.

If you have a list of prayer warriors, please engage them with these
requests. If your church has a prayer chain, please call it on our
behalf. And ask anyone else who is called to prayer to add the above
requests to their list.

I thank you for being there for us in this time of devastation. You
don't know how important you are.

Thanks again,

Rob w

Dear Kenny,
    I also agree in prayer with you that the Lord Jesus, our Healer
will restore the sensations in Erik's face. Lord may joy, laughter,
pain and sorrow all be registered on Erik's face. Restore the nerve
endings and take away the numbness...in the Name of Jesus we ask, for
your glory Father God.

"And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are
being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which
comes from the Lord, who is the
Spirit." II Corinthians 3:18

Just discovered our favorite bearded rotund crooner was interviewed in
February by the Wittenburg Door.  If you've been as out of touch as
me, enjoy a few moments at
http://www.wittenburgdoor.com/archives/BobBennett.html

For Kenny: you and Erik have been lifted up in prayer, brother.
Please keep us advised of his recovery.

Yours in Christ,

Rom 8:32

The tune "Duke Street" is known most for it's use in the hymn "Jesus
Shall Reign" (I think that's the title).  I attended a Bible conference
some years ago where Bob was leading the worship music for that event.
Guess what?  One of the hymns was indeed "Jesus Shall Reign".  It was
very interesting to hear that guitar intro that all Bob fans will
recognize from "I Know That My Redeemer Lives" used as the intro to that
song that day.  Very cool.

Hello Everyone,
Greetings once again from Portland, Oregon...

Hopefully this is the last update I'll be passing along concerning my son
Erik, who as you may recall was in the Legacy Emmanuel Trauma Clinic in
Portland OR for three weeks after a cycling accident. I know that you are
overburdened in your e-mail boxes daily with this or that, and I
appreciate the prayers and responses that we have received. They have
been truly appreciated, more than you'll ever know.

Erik was released this past week, after it was accessed that a developed
blood clot in his lung was maneageable with blood thinners. I had to
actually give injections to him at his home for a couple of days. If you
knew how terrified the both of us are of needles, then you'd appreciate
the dark comedy, as it were, of one terrified guy shooting another with a
needle and syringe. LOL...

Things are looking much better at this point, and Erik has even been able
to return to his work on a limited basis. There is one more item I would
desire your prayers about, though:

Erik's doctor has given him a 50/50 chance of regaining sensation in his
face, which depressed Erik greatly to hear. He has described his face as
"feeling like a mask." I'm praying that the Great Physician is giving him
a 100% chance of total recovery, and I would like for you to just take a
moment to do the same. This is very important, please...

Thank you again for all of your prayers and encouraging remarks.
God bless you all.

Kenny Carter
II Corinthians 9:15

First, no "Duke Street" is not a couple of blocks over from "Summer Street".
Duke Street, as many Bobophiles will know, is the tune to which the words of
"I Know That My Redeemer Lives" were set.

I've heard Bob perform this a number of times, and I truly enjoy the
acapella portions, as well as his wonderful guitar work.

However, I was surfing the internet for midi, wav, and mp3 files of hymns.
I came across a German site with a nice selection of tunes.  One of them was
a pair of midi files with the music for "I Know That My Redemeer Lives".  I
opened up the first one and sat there slack jawed as I listened to an
adaptation of Bob's arrangement for this wonderful old hymn.

To the world you may be just one person,
but to one person you may be the world.

Back in 1993 a version of "The Place I Am Bound" was released on
Fast Folk Musical Magazine (Vol. 7, No. 8) Los Angeles 1993.  That CD
has been difficult to purchase; plus you had to buy the whole CD even
if you only wanted Bob's track.

Well, today Amazon put their MP3 music store into a public beta (see
http://www.amazon.com/gp/blog/post/PLNK1GR94T4PJ38D6 ) and if you
search for Bob Bennett you can buy that version of "The Place I Am
Bound" for $0.99.

Praying, Kenny...

Please take a moment and pray for my son Erik.  We've just gotten a
call from a doctor in Portland, OR that he's had an accident of some
type on his bicycle.  He's currently unconscious and has several
broken bones in his face and elsewhere.  No other details are
available.  Brain scans are OK so far.

Thank you,
Kenny Carter

(Waiting anxiously!)

May the Lord bestow on you a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil
of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a
spirit of despair. You are an oak of righteousness, my brother, a
planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor." Isaiah 61...

Thank you for sharing so openly. Many of us here have struggled with
the "black cloud" descending. Lord, we pray for our brother Chris and
those in his family. We ask you to pour out your peace that passes all
understanding and restore the joy of their salvation.

We ask You to come against the powers of this dark world and against
the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms there where Chris
is. We pray that you strengthen Chris and his family for the days to
come. Give Chris clarity of vision concerning his family and the
direction he is to go. Strengthen Chris and raise him from the miry
clay of despair. Holy LORD, may he praise YOU and wait patiently
"though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the
vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls"
(Hab. 3:17-19), give Chris...and all of us Lord, the will to rejoice
in you and be joyful in God our Savior no matter what happens in our
lives.

Make Chris' feet like the feet of a deer and enable him to go on the
heights...Father God. Be his strength....in Jesus name we ask these
things....

Your bro and sister in VA, USA
Mike and Lesli

as you have asked, so be it unto you...
i agree as with one mind and in one accord, that your time will not
be lost or wasted, that you will have a sense of something deeper and
inexplicable moving just beneath the surface of the seen...
something greater than any previous sense of God's moving.
...for those who have shown mercy and compassion.
...for those who need a touch.
...that all the brokenness will be an honour and glory to God
according to His Word.

...that He will be true to His character and keep His promises to
you... to us all.

praise and honour and glory to the Lord God who passes before us
proclaiming His mercy, lovingkindness, long suffering and unfailing
love.

Holy is God who continually draws us with cords of love to reconcile
ourselves to Him... in Him who IS love.

grace and peace to you  (to us all).

gary g.

Thank you for prayers. I have heard through my daughter's report that
John in N.Y. is recovering from his heart attack. He was reportedly
touched by the Bob Bennett songs sent to him...May the Lord continue

I was blessed to have these recordings  by Bob, I know that not all of
you have these available, but I hope he does make them all available
to you and that you bless his ministry with your tithes and offerings
because the Holy Spirit does truly use and move through these precious
songs of Bob's to particular individuals as you all know.

In His Love I thank our Lord for these resources.

Interesting - have not posted for a while, but yesterday, I was trying
to work out "Man of the Tombs" on my guitar, because that song was on
my heart.

Lesli, Chris - any updates on your requests for prayer?
