You may be sitting at a computer in Oregon, Washington, California, Colorado, Kansas, Texas, Alabama, Michigan, Massachusetts, North Carolina, or somewhere else in the world. Like me, you wish you could do more to support Adam Root and his immediate family.
I know that many of you have been lifting up Adam in prayer. The reality is that is about all we can do. Yet, there is no need to feel badly about that. It is the best thing that we have to offer — our prayers.
Hi, this is Doug Mortensen, Adam's uncle. I am married to Gretchen, sister of Jack Root, Jr. I would like to encourage all of us to get more serious and intentional about asking for God’s provision for Adam. I would to invite all family and friends of Adam to join me in a day of prayer and fasting on Thursday, May 20th.
Why Thursday? Why not? We need to act quickly, but also leave a little time for some planning and preparation (we'll share a few tips between now and then).
Again, I am not a pastor, or theologian, but I believe that a unified day of prayer and fasting is a good way for our requests to be heard. The fasting portion is a sign of obedience to God, and the sacrifice of not eating indicates the seriousness of our requests.
Folks, it’s time to get serious. Will you join me on Thursday?

This is awesome. Mike and I will be fasting and praying for Adam. So excited to be apart of a huge group of people covering their family in prayer.
ReplyDeleteDoug,
ReplyDeleteYou can certainly count on the LaPiana family to be part of the fast - as we have been "praying without ceasing" for Adam, since the moment I jumped from my motocross bike to be at his side seconds after the accident.. God has a plan to reveal His power and we all need to be a part of it, so that He may be glorified in the miracles He is doing even at this moment !
God Bless,
Bill LaPiana (Adam's motocross partner,friend, and Brother in Christ)
Thank you, Doug.
ReplyDeleteI will be joining the fast from North Carolina. The outpouring of support and prayers for Adam has been a blessing also to his entire family.
Sincerely,
-Brad Root
Count me in, God will know our commitment, and so will Adam!
