Dear Church Family,
Please be praying for our dear friend Pastor Ian O'Boyle, his wife Danielle and the Gateway Church family in Georgia. We will be spending some time during our services tomorrow in prayer for Ian's full and miraculous recovery.
Thanks for your prayers.
Pastors Michael and Bonni
UPDATE 7/11/26 6:01 pm! GOD IS MOVING! 🙌
Please keep praying! We are praising God for what He is doing!
Today, while Danielle and Katie were in Ian’s room singing the chorus of Another One, Ian squeezed Danielle’s hand and moved his left leg! Since then, each time we’ve gone in to pray over him, he has continued to respond with movement. We are overwhelmed with gratitude for God’s grace and faithfulness!
This is such an encouraging step, but we know the journey isn’t over. Please don’t stop praying. Continue to declare life, healing, peace, and complete restoration over Ian. We believe God is still writing this testimony, and we can’t wait to hear Ian tell the story himself one day!
Psalm 107:6–9
“Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress. He led them by a straight way till they reached a city to dwell in. Let them thank the Lord for His steadfast love, for His wondrous works to the children of man! For He satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul He fills with good things.”
Let’s also remember the faith of the friends in Mark 2:1–12. They refused to give up. When they couldn’t get through the crowd, they climbed onto the roof, made an opening, and lowered their friend down to Jesus. Jesus saw their faith and healed their friend.
Let’s be those friends. Let’s keep carrying Ian to Jesus in prayer. Keep believing. Keep speaking life. Keep declaring healing. We serve a God who still works miracles, and we will continue to trust Him every step of the way. ❤️🙏
Original Post: Gateway Church, Pastor Ian O’Boyle was involved in a serious motorcycle accident yesterday, and we are asking everyone to pray.
Please pray specifically for his brain. That the swelling will come down, that there will be no further damage, and that God will bring complete healing and restoration. Pray also for wisdom for every doctor and nurse caring for him, and for supernatural peace and strength for his family.
His wife, Danielle, and many others are fasting for the next 3 days, please join them in this fast if you feel led and are able to do so.
The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. James 5:16 NIV
Proverbs 18:21 reminds us that the tongue has the power of life and death, so we are choosing to speak life, pray in faith, and stand together believing for Ian’s healing.
Please respect the family’s privacy and do not call, text, or message them at this time. The greatest way you can support them right now is through prayer. We will share updates as they become available and as the family is ready.
Church, let’s pray and believe together.
