PRESTONBURG, Ky. (BP) – I knew my mom had been sick. It was a cold or a sinus infection, she said. Too many days passed with no improvement. When my sister told me she was finally going to the doctor, I knew it was bad.

PRESTONBURG, Ky. (BP) -- We got the call after we had gone to bed. The phone ringing late at night never brings good news. A neighbor's 10-year-old son was missing. The mother asked if we would pray and get others to pray they would find him.
