Please remember Rural Chaplain Dick Bowyer in prayer.

Below is Dick's explanation and request for prayer.

I am in West Virginia University hospital since Sunday with severe chest/heart pain. Tomorrow I am scheduled for catherization to place stints. This is the third time the doctor advised against it due to high risk I wouldn’t survive.
The option is medication that seemed to work until strong events Sunday and Monday.
I must decide whether to try the procedure or face uncertainty with medication and likely a big heart attack. I am at ease with dying but concerned for my wife and sons.
Lots of prayers focused on the procedure that it will work. I am inclined to do that whether I survive or not.

Yesterday was historic. 🪶❤️🖤💛🤍

FULL federal recognition. Our chairman, Mrs. Arlinda Locklear, the behind the scenes team, and those before them, did the hard work.

Their tireless efforts have paid off.

Thursday, December 18, 2025 is the day the Lumbee Tribe of NC became the 575th federally recognized tribe.

I remember my parents talking about this growing up. It was something a lot of people weren’t sure would happen. My parents made sure we were enrolled members. We have been denied for so long.

My family will be able to take advantage of opportunities that weren’t afforded to those before us. Free education for my children is what most excites me.

For anyone still trying to claim that we don’t deserve this, you can have several seats in the corner. Your time is over. It’s our time to shine.
