This is the email Rod forwarded to me…….
Please pray for Clara Nelson. She was taken to emergency yesterday morning with stomach issues. She has been admitted to the hospital, is on IV’s and is still vomiting. She is weak but in good spirits. Please pray for the Drs. wisdom and for strength for Clara.
Thank you for upholding her in your prayers!

Philippians 4:19
And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Clara has become a best friend, having met her at the Windom Revival, and we talk by phone most weeks. We really need more Clara’s in this world! AMEN!
What is a Prayer Warrior?
Prayer warriors are those stalwart believers who continually “wage war on their knees.”
I know some prayer warriors who measure their daily prayer time not in minutes and seconds but in hours. That’s a lot of “knee-mail,” as they say.
Here is a post I wrote about Clara in November of 2016 as she turned 90!!!!
Just got off the phone with Prayer Warrior Clara Nelson of Windom, Minnesota. My, what a blessing to pray with Clara, who will soon be 90 years of age! I would love to be in Windom for Clara’s birthday on November 30th! Clara was born in Madison, South Dakota. Clara called me to pray with me and to pray for me! What a role model Clara is for us all! I am so thankful to God that I got to meet her in person at the Windom Revival!
Clara is also sending me a write up on the Billy Graham Crusade that took place years ago in Mpls. Clara was a leader for the 1972 Lowell Lundstrom Revival in Windom and was a Prayer Warrior for the Windom Revival held at the BARC in August of 2016.
Thank you Lord for my friend Clara!
To me, there is nothing more powerful than the prayers of a widow.
Clara’s life verse is Isaiah 42:8………”I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols.”
Clara is a role model for us all! Amen! She models for us what one person with God can do! Amen! She prays through each day, all for God’s Glory! The Windom area is covered in prayer by Clara and other wonderful prayer warriors in Windom like Pat and Butch Dunnick, who also host weekly prayer meetings in their home.
Clara has said for many years……”Lord send me” She is willing to go and do whatever the Lord calls her to do. Clara has such a willing heart.
Here is a couple of verses that Clara wrote for a song she wrote, To keep the clay soft and warm I need to yield my life to God. help me not be hard and cold. You know just what is best! Lord, I am willing, take me and mold me. Shape me in your perfect plan, just what you want me to be.
As Ruth Graham, Billy’s wife, had put on her headstone, “End of Construction”, we are always under construction as long as we submit ourselves to our Lord Jesus Christ.
Clara is still showing the DVD of the Windom Revival to her prayer group!
