Rev. Denver Stanford, Jr. has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
In ICU on life support, unless God intervenes, will not be here long.
But we have seen our GREAT and MIGHTY GOD do some AWESOME
things through the many prayers on this forum. Tina's cousin's husband,
Scott, was given up by 5 specilists within the past couple of weeks,
but went home this week!! Amazing Grace's mother was in a very
serious condition this week but through the prayers that went up for
her, she is in a regular hospital room and doing much better!! Others also!!
THANK YOU, JESUS, FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR THESE and we
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR WHAT YOU WILL DO FOR BRO. STANFORD<
IN JESUS NAME!!!:bliss :bliss :bliss :bliss :bliss :bliss

Years agp. I was close friends with his wife. We were youth campers together. I am so sorry to read this, and I will definately pray as God is the only One who can do the miracle that we need. My heart goes out to his family.

Will post updates as they come to me!

Mrs.BOOMM,
I had hoped to hear more today from Bro. Stanford but only
heard that his father, elder Stanford, Sr. had reported his son
had eaten eggs for breakfast, was breathing very well with oxygen.
They were waiting for biopsy reports! It sounded like they did NOT
put him on life support after all, as we were told earlier!
Hopefully we will hear more tomorrow as our grandson plans on
visiting him, if it is permissable!! He really likes Bro. Stanford, Jr.
and loved learning the saxophone from him. He is saddened by
this recent turn of events!
Praying for a miracle for this brother, in Jesus Name!!:bliss :bliss

Sis,
Is this the Denver Stanford that at one time was from Boston? My sister went out with him way back in the late 70's. He once wrote her a letter that showed up at our house 3 or 4 years after is was sent.
I will pass this info on to her.
I am praying for him as I write this....
Does he have children?

Thank you for keeping us posted. I am so thankful that the news is not as bad as first thought. I am reminded of a song that Denver sang with a group from Boston at one time. It is "We Have A Savior" I believe the McGruders also sang it. But we do have a Savior and He is able to take care of this situation. Just ask some of the posters on here. God has done some miraculous things among us!

I feel that the desperate requests made on this forum have had
miracleous answers because of the many people who have prayed.
Thank God for brothers and sisters who care enough to stand in the
gap until...!
Bro. Stanford, Jr bases out of a church about ten miles from our
city! As does his father and mother! I have only met Bro. Stanford,
Jr. when he visited our church as a guest of my grandson who takes
saxophone lessons from him. His mom and dad also visited one time.
That has been within the past year for both.

Bro. Nathan,
This is the Bro. Stanford, Jr. who has played his saxophone
with the Boston Brass. Our grandson has been taking lessons
with him when he isn't traveling. As the sister said, he can
make that saxophone talk!

Update on Bro. Stanford, Jr,
Our grandson who takes saxophone lessons from Bro. Stanford, Jr
went to the hospital and was able to see him. The doctors are
evidently not giving much hope for Bro. Stanford, Jr. But a couple
of weeks ago, I remember we prayed for Sis. Tina's cousin's husband,
named Scott, who had been given up by 5 specilists and told to
prepare his children. But instead fervent prayer was made and Scott
went home last week. TO GOD BE THE PRAISE, HONOUR and GLORY!!
That is what God can do. Man is limited but our GOD IS NOT!!
When man's ability is exhausted, God's only begins!! NOW we will
see what GOD will do for Bro. Stanford, Jr. LORD JESUS, Thank YOU
in advance for what You WILL DO for Bro. Denver Stanford, Jr., in
JESUS NAME!!!!:bliss :bliss :bliss :bliss :bliss :bliss :bliss

Update on Bro. Denver Stanford, Jr.
We learned Bro. Stanford, Jr. was in a neighboring city about ten
miles from us, so we went over there as we had heard the church
people had been coming to the chapel there to pray. We didn't find
anyone in the chapel so figured it was suppertime so we went up to
the area where we learned Bro. Stanford was. We asked a lady who
was nearby if she knew where the family of Rev. Stanford was and
she said to follow her. We were sure he could have no visitors but she
said no, you can go in and see him. We were shocked but went right
in and saw Elder and Sis. Stanford, Sr. I had only met them once last
year when they visited our church. We prayed with them and others
for their son who the doctors have said tonight or tomorrow and he
will be gone!!! I felt it was God who should decide that!! As we got off
the elevator a couple of hours later a couple of Bro. Stanford's dear
friends got off the next one and said the doctor had come by as they
were leaving and said there was a slight improvement! Hey, that's the
first encouraging words we heard when Sis, Tina's cousin's husband,
Scott was given up by 5 specilists a couple of weeks ago. When I
heard that, a slight improvement I thought, "That's all we need, just
a slight improvment, about the size of a man's hand. Isn't that all the
prophet needed to see. A cloud about the size of a man's hand!!
Faith, faith, faith, just a little bit of faith
Faith, faith, faith, just a little bit of faith,
You don't need a whole lot, just use what you got,
Faith, faith, faith, just a little bit of faith.
Faith,faith, faith, just a little bit of faith,
Faith, faith, faith, just a little bit of faith,
Whole lot is not what you need,
Bout the size of a mustard seed.
Faith, Faith, faith, just a little bit of faith.
Bro. Denver Stanford, Jr is in the Hands of a Faithful God.
Regardless of what He chooses to do, His way is always best.
He makes no mistakes! He is able to completely turn this situation
around but if He should see fit to take Bro. Stanford. Jr at this time,
He is still a LOVING, COMPASSINATE, WONDERFUL GOD!!! HIS NAME
IS JESUS!!
Lord, we commit our brother in Christ into YOUR NAILED SCARRED
HANDS. NOT OUR WILL, BUT THINE BE DONE! Thank YOU, Lovely Lord!!

Bro. Nathan,
Thank you and everyone on this forum that is and has prayed
for Bro. Stanford, Jr and this family. I told Elder and Sis. Stanford
and others about this forum and GNC where there is a request also.
Told them about Scott, Sis. Tina's cousin's husband. Bro. Stanford's
situation reminds me of that case as it SEEMS so hopeless according
to the doctors. But we have a HOPE above and beyond what man can
do. Thanks again for every prayer, in Jesus Name!!!

So sorry to hear the news. Denver Sr. was my late Grandmothers pastor in the 1970's in Boston before she moved in with us.

My oldest daughter, her 20 yr. old son (who took saxophone lessons
from Bro. Stanford, Jr.) our pastor and I, attended Bro. Denver Stanford's
funeral in Garland, Texas today. It was different from most I have ever
attended but very comforting and uplifting! The Band featuring the Boston
Brass, led by Bro. Sam Kelly of Denver, Colo. played several numbers during
the service. Bro. Stanford, Jr's, mother in law, Sis. Gentles from Calif. wrote
a tribute "Ode To Denver". Very sweet! Rev. D.G. Hargrove's message was
entitled, "Four Anchors That Will Get Us Through This Day". They were
GOD, first, PEOPLE, family, friends, etc., MEMORY, Wonderful memories
that last a lifetime, and a HOPEFUL FUTURE. It was so encouraging!
There was lots of playing featuring the Boston Brass, Kathy Hernandez,
Eli's wife, played with them and they highlighted her as well as others.
Wonderful anointed singing!
May God comfort this good family, in Jesus Name!!

Thanks for posting this. I imagine there were a lot of people there. He knew and was known of so many. I still can't believe it is true. I mean people aren't suppose to die this young. I remember being at youth camp when he and his wife were dating. She and I shared a room together that year. We have a lot of good memories. I just pray that God sustains them thru this. He is willing and able, Praise God.
