Pastor Dan Boyer has been a Business Men in Christ (BMIC) fixture since he came to speak at our monthly meeting, in 2004, during the early days when we met at the Hoogland Center. The former Air Force (20 years) veteran was (and still is) the Pastor of Community Fellowship Church in Petersburg, Illinois. It is a non-denominational Bible church and has done some great work in their town.  In 2012, brother Dan came to our monthly BMIC meeting and made an announcement which saddened us. We called him to the front of the large group of men and we laid hands on him for healing. Since then, it has been a long hard journey for our dear brother and friend and his family. Many of us have prayed for his recovery and extended kindness to his family. His extended and family and friends in Menard County have been phenomenal.

This month, Springfield Clinic – the main healthcare organization – for both in- and out-patient treatments, featured our brother and friend on not just their billboards across the region, but in a really beautiful, inspiring and powerful article on the Springfield Clinic Website. There is also a very well-done and edited video where Pastor Dan Boyer gave credit to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ….the true mark of a BMIC member, and a man of God.
