Clay- I just got off the phone with a friend from Florida who has met you a few times and called me to ask about the situation and talk about how awesome of a person you are. She could see that even though she had only met you a few times, and I think that is such an indication of how so many people feel. You mean a lot to so many people, and we have all been praying for you.

Waycaster family- You have so many people praying for you and with you. No one can explain exactly why things happen the way they do, but the strong faith that ya'll have is evident and I know it will help.

Mitch, Christy, Jill, Ross,
I have been keeping up with Clay since I first heard the news. I was at First Baptist yesterday morning and heard about Clay's small miracles! I noticed that Clay's verse on the website is "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Well, Clay is being strengthened every day. What an awesome God we serve! I will continue to keep you all in my prayers! God Bless!

Clay,
I work for Bro. Randy Von Kanel at FBC - which means that I also work with your dad since he's the deacon chairman. I have heard alot of good things about you even before you got sick - but only realized how special you were when ALL of the hundreds and hundreds of calls came pouring in to First Baptist. I know that God has big plans for you and this is just His way of molding you into that perfect vessel He wants you to be. In the meantime, he is using you to bring people closer together as well as closer to Christ. You are loved by many. Twila

Mitch, Christy, Jill, & Ross:

I know ya'll have carried a heavy load since last Tuesday. It sounds like you are possibly starting to see a miricle in action lately though. Just wanted to let you know that Charlotte, Laura, Benton and I are lifting you up in prayer and praying that God chooses to heal Clay completely.

P.S. Ross, I assume this "technology" I'm using to send this message is a device of yours. I'm not up with the latest and this is the first time I have sent a message like this. Maybe you can "educate me" on it sometime.

Mitch, Christy, Jill, and Ross

We have been in constant prayer since learning of Clay's condition early Wednesday morning. This morning when Ricky Young announced the results of Clay's MRI and MRA, we were so encouraged. Wherever we go, whether work, home, or church, we tell people about Clay and for them to pray for him. I have even had contractors and engineers calling me back to check on Clay's condition. In church this morning, Clay and you all were on everyone's heart; every single prayer that was prayed-Clay and you all were lifted up. There is an outpouring of genuine concern and love for Clay and you all as you endure this trial.

We are praying for a miracle so that God will be glorified.

Ross, Kayla asked me to tell you that she is praying for Clay, but also specifically praying for you as you go through this. She prays for your strength and endurance through each day. God made Clay into a strong Christian man and he is now shaping you into a strong Christian man also as you go through this tough time. Depend on God and let him mold you.

Your Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
The Jones Family

Clay, Mitch, Christy, Jill and Ross,

We have diligently prayed specifically for each of you! We are elated to see our sure and steadfast God at work bringing about his healing one day at a time!

Clay, we ask God to continually bless you with healing and restoration! Mitch and Christy, we pray that God will supernaturally, constantly strengthen and refresh you above and beyond what you, or we, can even think or ask! Jill and Ross, we pray for steady, super abounding encouragement and hope in Him!

May all of you continue to sense our God's precious peace that truly does pass all understanding as you walk with Him while you wait for Him. For His glory, may He continue to bless others through you this day.

Walking by faith with you!!
We love you!!!!
