At my Wednesday Bible study there was a prayer request for Travis Roberts. I began to pray. In my Sunday School class at Johnson Ferry Baptist there was a request to pray for Travis Roberts. I continued to pray. Later I found out that Travis grew up in Somerset and I had known him since he was 2 years old! I always knew him as Lee, Jr. He was one year ahead of my son, Brooks and we met him at the pool the summer we moved to Somerset. I remember Carrie from Eastside. Now I am praying without ceasing for a miracle. With love,
Lou Souders

I just read a shared post on Facebook about a couple that is in need of our prayers. When I read it & saw pictures, I couldn’t believe it. I knew you both at Eastside Baptist Church & school. I thought I’d reach out to let you know that my family will now be praying for you every day. We will pray that the tumor does not grow during the month prior to the trial and that the trial treatment will heal you.
My husband is in Chicago at NML meetings and he sent me this link, May God always be with your family . I hope and pray that you have a long, happy life with your family. Your faith in God has been an inspiration to me and I will always remember your story , how grateful I am for my husband and our children. God bless you always and I wish you the best of luck in this courageous journey
I know that God has away of drawing us where we are suppose to be at all times and in your case I was at the hotel and I was drawn to these 2 handsome little boys who was dressed IVY league, and when I asked who the 2 handsome boys belong to, I was told there father (Matt Goodwin) was about to speak and I didn’t want yo miss it, and I did just that and that is how , i was at your recent speaking in Atlanta Ga with NWM and I did not get to hear all of your testimony but I was blessed to hear enough to know my part is to pray! And on this day I believe over your life Psalm 138-8 , God will perfect that which concern your life. I only have faith to believe that your day of Total Healing is here NOW”
May you and your family be Blessed by God who can cure the incurable.
Travis
I had the honor of hearing you speak yesterday in Atlanta at the northwestern mutual southern regional. First and foremost you and your family are in our prayers daily. We are Strong in our faith and believe in miracles. The Lord has his hands on you and your family. Stay strong in the faith. Thank you for what you have done and the lives you have touched.
Travis
I had also had the honor of hearing you speak at the Northwestern Southern Regional. Your story changed my life. I called my wife immediately after I heard you speak and told her my life has just changed forever.We are praying for you and your family everyday. My father just fought the cancer battle and won. At 63 he was told he had terminal cancer. My whole family was devastated. He decided to give it all he had and we all prayed hard everyday. God can perform miracles and my father is one of those miracles. After ten months of chemo radiation and a risky surgery he is cancer free. Thank you for being strong enough to change people’s lives.
Travis,
Great testimony. Glad we could here your story at the NM so regional meeting this week. Keep the faith and keep telling your story. Will be one of your prayer warriors.

Travis,
Thanks for sharing your story of concrete faith here in Tampa and again in Atlanta with the Northwestern Mutual folks. You and your family are the subjects of the prayers of thousands of believers, many of whom like me experienced the loss of a spouse to cancer.Your battle is not over and we ask God for another healing miracle, in the knowledge that eternity is becoming more and more real!
