joni and jennifer barrickJennifer Barrick is one remarkable young woman. In November 2006, her family van was struck by a drunk driver going eighty miles per hour – her mother, father and brother sustained significant injuries, but Jennifer's was the worst: she suffered severe head trauma and fractures to her skull which put her in a five-week long coma. Jennifer surprised everyone when she began coming out of her coma groggily quoting scriptures and praise songs she knew by heart (most people come out of comas with much anger). Right then, everyone knew God's hand was on Jennifer in a special way. This special young woman and her parents came by our International Disability Center on Thursday, February 23 for a visit – her new book, A Miracle for Jen will be released in mid-March, and so I recorded several interviews with Jen for upcoming "Joni and Friends" radio programs! If you'd like to learn more, watch "The Jennifer Barrick Story" on our TV page!

The wonderful thing about Jenn is that she loves the Lord Jesus, His Word & people. Our sweet Laurie is in a coma too. She has a grateful heart. I am blessed to hear how God worked in Jenns life. "Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?"~Jeremiah 32:27

She { Jennifer} hid the words in the heart. Just as Mary , the virgin Mary hid the THINGS in her heart. Jesus speaks so often of the HEART in the bible Jennifer's brokeness surely mended- many unsaved hearts. God Bless Her..as He has already. love pattie
