GET WELL STEVE! Special notes to Steve from his friends:
Hi Steve. This is your friend and second Dad. Sandy and I thank God that this much is now behind you. Sorry that I could not fully share the feelings about the surgery but you now understand. Remember this will come to pass. I know you think that you will never see food again. But you will maybe by time you read they have come to give you something to eat. We love you and are looking forward to service to your Lord. Will call later when you return home. Keep looking up, God Bless you.
Ken & Sandy Hopkins
Hi Steve:
Our family wanted to let you know that we are praying for you and your family. We thoroughly enjoyed your services at Emmaus and enjoyed talking to you afterwards. (We are the ones who also have family in the big town of Hampstead) Your are truly an instrument of God. Hopefully next time you will be able to stay longer. We are also enjoying the set of your CD’s. Take care of yourself and know that God works all things together for good for those who love him !

Steve:
You know that I am praying for you. We have you on our office prayer list and we lift you up each morning before we start our day here at the WV Baptist Building. We need your ”Golden Voice” and your testimony this summer at our Shepherding the Shepherd” conference, so get a move on and get well. Seriously, I love you Brother and I look forward to seeing you all very soon.

Steve,
I just learned about your surgeries for cancer. Please know that we are lifting you and your family to our Lord daily here at Baptist Chapel. We trust that our Lord will bring you through this most difficult time and restore you to health and strength so that you will be able to continue to preach the good news of Jesus Christ. I will continue to check your website for updates on your progress and share those with the folks here.
In His Love,
Alan E. Roberts Pastor, Baptist Chapel Baptist Church Steve,
I only learned of your illness a short time ago. I just wanted to let you know that our family and your Waverly church family have been praying for you and will continue to. I see from your website that you have some good folks helping you out. Thanks be to God for Godly friends in time of need. Now that I know where to look, I'll be checking regularly for updates. Hope to hear that you are up and about soon. May our loving god continue to work His perfect work in you.
Your brother Kevin Truman
Steve,
We have been praying for you here at Holly Springs Baptist in Broadway. We rejoice in the matter of only one lymph node being diagnosed as cancerous & that you do not have to receive chemo. However, we also are sorry to hear you have to be hospitalized again. We will continue to remember you and your family & the wonderful services we shared together & we will be in prayer for your soon recovery & return to sharing your messages of Christ’s changing power!
In Christ’s Love,
JERRY W. PARSONS

I've known Steve Freeman from the time he was born. He has grown into a fine man who loves God. Greater yet is the fact that he knows God! I've had Steve at our church for revivals, concerts, and more. I highly encourage you to invite him and see the Holy Spirit of God move through your congregation as Steve is not only touched by God, but that he is also used by God to reach others.

Steve, Thanks again for a wonderful revival. How thrilling to see so many people fill the aisle tonight, dedicating themselves to serve the Lord more faithfully at Oakland. God has blessed you with tremendous talents and it is an inspiration to me to see you use them in your unique way as you minister. God bless you, Lisa and the children as you continue to serve.

Pastor Steve, My children and I so enjoyed having you come for our revival services the end of March. Sometimes it is hard to keep the attention of the children, but you did. We loved getting to meet you and were blessed by your ministry here. Your wife must be very understanding to be able to share you with so many churches. We are looking forward to visiting you in Virginia. In His Hands, Maryann

Thank you for your faithfulness and love of God Steve. There is not a Sunday morning that goes by, and many times thru the week that I don't stop and think about you, and thank God for the way in which he has blessed you. Knowing you, we have been richly blessed. Take care and God may God continue to bless.

Steve, what a blessing you were during a tough week. I feel as if I've known you for years. Isn't it cool how God can bring total strangers together and in the name of Christ, and unite us a brothers? Please continue to pray for my family. My wife is extremely hateful and the kids are beginning to feel some of the pain too. Pray for Tabitha that she would reunite with Christ and that he would take her life and turn it around. Please let me know how I can pray for you or if you need anything else. May God richly bless you and your family. Keep in touch. Billy Cooper

Once again you have blessed our lives at a revival. God continues to use you in a mighty way. Thanks so much for being such a faithful friend. Love to Lisa, Berkeley and Kevin.
