During a motorcycle ride near Houston, Texas in June of 2006,

Clint Mayfield's leather jacket slipped off

the back of his bike and became tangled in the bikes chain

seizing the rear wheel.

Clint was thrown over the front of the bike at 70

miles per hour landing head first on the asphalt.

Later that night, Clint's wife, Andrea,

got a phone call about the accident.

I was instantly worried, shock,

and just kind of stunned.

I didn't know any details, so it was really scary.

Emergency responders called for a life flight

to a trauma center in Austin Texas.

Clint and Andrea's Pastor, Don Norden, was also contacted

and drove to the hospital.

We were praying as we drove.

And I was just trying to hear the voice of God

about the situation.

Because I knew I would be walking

into a very difficult situation, and wanted

to be an encouragement to them.

And the Lord spoke to me.

He said, when you get to the hospital

I want you to tell them that Clint will recover all.

Don't worry about what's happened here.

Don't look at the situation.

Don't look at the circumstances.

Don't put too much stock in what the prognosis is.

Clint is going to recover all.

Clint had severely damaged the frontal and temporal lobes

of his brain.

And was in a coma.

Doctors said, if he survived he may need full time

care for the rest of his life.

He was just bleeding and had all these IV's everywhere.

And he was on a ventilator.

And he was bleeding out of his ears.

It was probably the worst situation I had ever seen.

The medical community did not expect him to survive.

Their family gathered in prayer at the hospital.

And word went out to their church community

to pray for Clint's survival.

Whenever we felt like we needed to pray, we would.

That's what we needed to do to stay focused and remind

ourselves about our promise that he was going to be healed

and that we just had to have patience,

even though everything looked really bad.

To stay hopeful.

Despite the prognosis they continued

to wait and pray for a miracle.

I know what I know but I also know that anything's

possible with God.

They exhibited faith through this entire situation

the likes of which I've rarely seen in 35 years of pastoring.

There's just too much prayer going up for him

to not come out of this.

Andrea clung to the word of God for hope.

Church members gave her cards with Bible verses

about God's power to heal and restore.

I would read them to myself.

I would read them to Clint.

I would just kind of whisper them to him in his ear.

That would help ground me and bring me back to that's--

I have to hold on.

That's my answer.

That's what God's word says so I have to believe it.

God's word is true and that it never comes back

void whatever his promise is.

Andrea waited and prayed through days

of progress and setbacks.

His internal cranial pressures would go up,

or his blood pressure would get really high,

or he would have a high fever.

Things like that.

And they're afraid maybe he'd start to have

seizures, things like that.

Then it would constantly just go up and down.

He was doing good and then things were getting bad.

Finally, after two weeks in a coma, they had a breakthrough.

While surrounded by his family, Clint woke up.

He sat up, and his eyes got big, and he's like, I know them.

Over the next several months, Clint

recovered mentally and physically

beyond doctors expectations.

Though he says he had to relearn even the simplest of tasks.

I don't know if everybody's like this.

But you get brain damage and guess what,

you might get to grow up again.

Having to relearn all kinds of things again.

Like how to do just about everything.

Clint and Andrea believe his recovery was miraculous

and an answer to prayer.

You just have to be able to know that God will take

care of you, whatever it is.

Trust in God with everything.

They were just steady, they prayed, they walked in faith,

and they received their miracle.

And the fact that Clint was able to overcome

that kind of a diagnosis, to even be functional as a human

being, is just absolutely miraculous let alone

be able to continue his job.

Before he was kind of quiet, reserved,

didn't really talk much.

And now he talks a lot.

He restored me.

I got back everything that I need and more.

Got two girls.

I got a happy wife.

God has helped us to not just move forward but to prosper.

If you just trust him, he'll provide you

what you need and more.
