Sorry back for not responding quick - I have not been checking this site very often these days.
I would really like to talk with you!
You can call me at 509-659-0700, or just drop me an email (joe@joepurpura.com) with your number and I will call you!
I want to tell you all about my book (way too much to talk about here) and hey - it has been 20 something years (we have a lot to catch up on)!
Look forward to hearing from you!
Joe
This story is a crazy one of God's deliverance. Last monday when I got the call from my sister I text everyone I could and called even more and e-mailed even more people to pray. My sister Martie did the same. Roberto Martinez forwarded my e-mail all over the world and within a short time we had rallied many many to pray. Many of you prayed with your fellowships as well as your private prayers.
In the meantime my brother-in-law, Sam was rushed to the hospital with an excrutiating headache that when they had done a lumbar puncture and found blood in his spinal fluid, concluded that he had had a stroke and moved him to another hospital. When he arrived at St. Josephs hospital, the second hospital, the neurologist said he had already made rounds and would see him tomorrow.
We waited until Tuesday to find out how he was. By tuesday they discovered that the fluid around his brain was seeping out into his spine. They also discovered that he had viral meningitis. He hadn't had a stroke at all. When they did an MRI they discovered that the fluid was seeping from the place that the other hospital had done the lumbar puncture and that during the first 24 hours he had not been seen, all the fluid had drained from around his brain. Everytime he moved his brain was hitting against his skull. They did a blood patch to fix it. When they told him that all the fluid had drained out, they also told him that his brain had swollen and that it had been drawn down into where the brain stem is. It was beginning to cut off the blood flow to his brain. He should have died. The only care he was getting during that first 24 hour time period was the prayers that we were saying. God saved him when the doctors were neglecting him.
This is the power of prayer. He is fine now and has no residual effects from the problems. God is good. The anti-viral medication worked for the meningits and the swelling on his brain is gone. The blood patch held to retain the fluids around his brain and the fluids are replenished. God is very good to his people when we trust him and pray.
I had to share this story with you. I think it is a wonderful example of the power of prayer.
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Love,
Judy

Well here is another voice from your past...
Of course you will remember me as Joe Hanson (but I had my name changed back to the name I was born with, Purpura, back in 1991).
I must say at this moment that I really do not know where to start…
For years I wondered if I would ever get back in touch with you. After my WOW year (1985-86), I began to loose touch with many from “the group” (you, Shelly, Heidi, Sylvia, Holly, etc.). By the time I moved to Seattle (the following year), I pretty much lost touch with everyone.
Just the other day, I got a call out of the blue from my oldest and dearest friend, Linus (the last time I spoke to him was well over 20 years ago). He said that he was trying to find me for years (ironically, his dad had my uncle’s contact info all along and he got my number to him).
During our phone call, he told me about this Way Corps website...
And to my great surprise, there you are!!!
What really amazes me about this site is just how many of those we mutually know are on it! It will take some time, but I hope to contact all of them.
As for myself, back in October, I bought a home in a small town in Eastern Washington State (that is, after almost 22 years of living in Seattle). It is a town of about 1800 people (where everyone knows everybody, real Norman Rockwell) and I like it! Ritzville is right on the interstate, which makes major civilization close (I am only 55 miles from Spokane and if I get homesick for Seattle, it’s only about 3 hours in the other direction).
There is so much that I want to tell you (and so much I want to hear from you!), but to be honest, I am much more a phone person.
When you have the chance, give me a call (you can call collect, my number is 509-659-0700).
I really look forward to hearing from you!
Much love,
Joe
