BJ spent 5 weeks on a mission trip in Peru spreading the love of Jesus. A few weeks after returning home he was diagnosed with pneumonia, which quickly turned much more serious and became the lesser concern as an infection throughout his body was discovered. After six weeks of fighting, Beej finally got to go Home to be with Jesus on September 26th, 2005. Thank you for your prayers for BJ, and please continue unifying as God's children as we have seen throughout this God-glorifying situation!!!

I am David's father and although this is the first time for me to make comments, let me say that never in my life has God kept someone so prominent in my mind during the day than He has with BJ.
I am praying for him and will not stop. Isn't God AWESOME.

hola, mi nombre es David. Soy de Perú, de la ciudad de trujillo.
Estoy orando por BJ, en forma especial, porque siempre recuerdo el regalo que me dio.
La guitarra que él me regaló, la estoy utilizando, incluso ya hice algunos viajes misioneros, y la guitarra siempre me acompaña.
Cuando estoy en mi cuarto, y empiezo a tocas la guitarra recuerdo de su trabajo aquí en Perú, y su linda amistad.
Dios es grande, y usa los grandes problemas para enseñarnos cosas que aún no conocemos. Y estoy seguro que esta enfermedad, Dios va a usarla para demostrarnos su inmenso poder y amor. Aunque sea muy difícil enfrentarla.
Les amo en el amor del Señor Jesús,que él los guarde, proteja, y sostenga.
Saludos de toda la iglesia aquí en Trujillo, junto con Tito Sevilla nuestro pastor.
En el Seminario también estamos orando por BJ.
Dios les Bendiga. Amén

I am adding BJ to my daily constant prayers for God to heal BJ with the love that only Our God can do! My own 38 year old is on his last chemo treatment for colon cancer that has spread to his liver. I know that the dr's say after treatments he only has 6-8 months to live. But I Praise God that He alone can and will heal that they may be able to give him the Glory,Praise,and witness to others about the true healing powers of our God through our prayers!May God keep his hand upon BJ.peace and love to his family.
Judy
Wowie-Zowie! ( Yes, that is a Biblical term! I think it's from the book of Ezrachia or Malachronicals)! God is on a roll!
Isn't the power of communal prayer on behalf of a faithful servant just a joy to our Father!?
How He must love to see the faithfulness of His children to hold each other up. Praise Him for his mercy!
"I will praise God's name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving"!
"May my supplication come before you; deliver me according to your promise." "Let me live that I may praise you!"
Oh, to have the ability to sing to God as beautifully as David did. What a blessing it is to still have his words.
We continue to pray for you all. . .for rest and continued encouragement. Your strength and faithfulness are a witness to so many!
im speechless... if you give it all to God, he can turn it around so fast.. God is amazing... i have been doubting lately.. but how can you doubt when you hear a story like that.. God is AMAZING!
THANK YOU LORD FOR ANSWERED PRAYER! WE WILL NOT STOP PRAYING FOR BJ TO BE COMPLETELY HEALED TO CONTINUE TELLING HIS STORY OF HIS LOVE FOR JESUS! BJ IS A FIGHTER AND WE CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW RELIEVED YOU ARE THAT THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH PROGRESS MADE TODAY. MAY HE CONTINUE TO GROW STRONGER AND GET OFF THE ECMO MACHINE SOON. WE WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT ALL OF YOU UP IN PRAYER.

I met a guy in Starbucks today who lives in Illinois..He didn't tell me much of his background, but he saw my tshirt and I got to explain BJ and I's testimony. He is definately praying, and if you would also pray for Trent, that would be nice.
Praise

For those people who don't think there is a God, Just listen to this young mans journey for the last couple of weeks. Our God is real and he is worthy to be praised.
Dear Higgins Family,
How great to hear good news here in LA! I wish I were there to share it with you. Know that my prayers continue to be with you at all times. I also heard from my missionary Indian friend and he said they are praying for BJ in India! Add another country to your growing list of prayer warriors. See you when I return.

May God continue to heal BJ! Praise Him for the work He is doing in BJ's life! Still praying for continued healing....
BJ definately has more spreading to do about our Almighty God! He will be able to look back at all of this and know how much he impacted all of us and i know there are soooo many people who has praid for him that he has never met. God is so awesome. God we just want to praise you and thank you for everything that you have done for us. Thank you for allowing the healing process to take it's course in BJ. Help all who is in need this evening. We will continue to keep praying for a full recovery.
Praise Jesus. It's been quite awhile since I have talked to the Higgins family but I've been staying up to date on BJ's condition through this website and through friends who still are in contact with you all. Brent...you were there for me and my friends all through middle school and highschool, I know that you prayed and battled for us that we would keep our eyes focused on Him no matter what we faced. I pray the same for you and your family and BJ as you continue through this process of healing. I'm here in Colorado Springs with New Life Church serviing as an intern. We have been praying and battling here and we have made BJ and the family known at the World Prayer Center so they can also be praying here and everywhere...
Praying...Praising....love you all

Dearest Higgins Family,
Add the State of Maine to your list of those praying for BJ. We got through to WHCF (88.5 FM), a 100,000 watt Christian radio station in Bangor, ME yesterday afternoon during their call-in prayer time. Wayne Frost and Tom Obey, station staff members and friends of mine offered prayer for BJ and the family and put out the website address for Mainers to check BJ's progess on. We rejoice with all of you the progress that BJ is making with fighting the infection and the ending the internal bleeding. Praise the LORD!
We and thousands of Mainers will continue to keep all of you in our prayers.
Tommy & Debbie Linder
While vacationing in Maine
Again, beginning my day praying for another good day.
And supernatural strength for Brent, Deanna, Lauren and Whitney.
May God bless your family today.
