TROY’S FAMILY

AND FRIENDS REUNION

2011 THE KICKOFF

EVENT FOR TROY’S

HOUSE BEGAN ON

JULY 17, 2011 IN

CAMARILLO, CA,

AT ST. JOHN’S

PLEASANT VALLEY

HOSPITAL.

We were pleased to

serve 46 to 50 guests in attendance. Guests

mingled while circling the gorgeous Healing

Garden, with beautiful spring and summer

flowers, exotic fish in ponds, and flowing foun-tains and waterfalls. The

stage was set with activities and

Michael Johns, disc jockey and Prayer War-rior, led the group in a

family prayer, and played relaxing Smooth Jazz music throughout the

afternoon. In addition, nearly half of our guests made dona-

tions for specialized T-shirts, coffee mugs, tote

bags, hats, pens, note-books, and mouse pads. All proceeds will help to

support our greater mission,

Troy and Jerry

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father in Heaven, I choose to forget the past today. I don’t want anything to hold me back

from the good future You have prepared for me. I choose forgiveness and ask that You

help me, by Your Spirit, to press forward in every area of my life. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Troy ’ s Aunt Chris-

tine, and a sweet po-

tato casserole, made

BREATHING PACEMAKERS Provide a far lower cost of care and much higher qual-ity of life for ventilator dependent patients with quad-riplegia, central sleep apnea, and diaphragm paralysis. The Mark IV Breathing Pacemaker System is a phrenic nerve stimulator, also called a diaphragm pacemaker. It consists of surgically implanted receivers and elec-trodes mated to an external transmitter by antennas worn over the implanted receivers. Phrenic pacing provides ventilatory support for pa-tients with chronic respiratory insufficiency whose diaphragm, lungs, and phrenic nerves have residual function. Diagnoses include, but are not limited to: Quadriplegia, complete or incomplete. The Mark IV Breathing Pacemaker System is the only device of its kind to have full premarket approval by the US FDA and qualify for the CE Mark under the European Active Implantable Medical Device Direc-tive. These devices are approved by the Center for medicare & Medicaid Services (formerly HFCA) for Medicare reimbursement and by most other private and govern-ment insurance plans throughout the world.

PRAYER FOR TOMORROW

FATHER GOD, We know that you don't change; therefore we ask you to change us. We know we are your children, and have a blood covenant with Jesus. Therefore, we know we can speak and ask boldly in Jesus’ name, and be confident in our faith that we are heirs of the kingdom. We ask you, In Jesus’ mighty name, for Troy’s House. We shall give you all the glory and follow your commandments. In Proverbs 18:20, You said that a man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of the mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. We are confessing with our mouths for you to use us for your will and bless us to partnership with you at Troy's House, in Camarillo, California. We pray with our lips for joy, peace and prosperity as we fulfill this mission for good. According to your word in 1 Peter 4 vs. 8-9 , Troy’s House will above all things have fervent

charity among yourselves; for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. Use hospitality one to another without grudging. AMEN.

Happy Birthday Troy!!!

We love you and want you

to know that you are not

alone. We keep you in our

prayers and pray that you

may come home soon.

We hope you enjoyed the

first edition of the Troy’s

House Family Newsletter.

GOD BLESS, ALWAYS
