This is a friend of mine in my Sunday School Class. We are/were very excited for her and her upcoming wedding. Her and her fiance are both great friends and great people. All prayers are needed and appreciated. If you live in the Duluth area, we could use your help in the search. Thanks and God Bless. DULUTH, Ga. Local police are investigating the disappearance of a Georgia woman who is supposed to get married on Saturday. Jennifer Wilbanks has not been seen since she went jogging in Duluth, Ga., Tuesday night, Gwinnett County police said. Wilbanks, 32, described as 5-foot-8, 120 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, was last seen in the downtown Duluth area at 8:30 p.m. She was wearing a gray sweatshirt and blue sweatpants.

Prayers.
I cannot imagine this woman would have gotten cold feet and vanished leaving her family and fiance in the state they are all now in. That is unfathomnable. She is somewhere but only God knows. Let's hope wherever she is she is alive. We are praying for her safe return.
IF she got lost, she could certainly find someone to let her use the phone to call home or call 911 for assistance. No, something is wrong here. Very wrong.
You're right , I'm afraid. I was praying for her and thinking of her last night. I had a dream about her too - and my dream didn't show me the result I wanted. I rarely have dreams like this one. Only my son knows the details of it, it really bothered me so I had to tell someone. I'm praying that it was only a dream, nothing more, I'm so spooked. I hope I'm wrong.
Prayers for Jennifer and her loved ones.

Thoughts and Prayers to Jennifer's family and friends from Memphis, TN.
I have been praying for Jennifer the past few days. I hate that things look and sound very bleak at this point, but I will continue to pray for her and her family/friends.
Almighty God, who has given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplications unto Thee and dost promise that, when two or three are gathered together in Thy name, Thou wilt grant their requests, fulfill now, O Lord the desires and petitions of Thy servants for the safety and return of Jennifer to the loving arms of her family and friends, and for strength and peace to her loved ones as they deal with her absence. We beseech thee in thy mercy to grant that those things which we have faithfully asked according to Thy will may effectually be obtained to the relief of our necessity; and grant us in this world knowledge of Thy truth and in the world to come, life everlasting; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord. Amen.
Greetings to all. I spent the day with the families. I want each of you to know that your prayers are felt and appreciated. Sometimes we say things like this lightly, but certainly not here. Thank you all so very much.

Jennifer had been found and irregardless of the circumstances, we should give our thanks to God for answering our prayers and returning Jennifer safely to her family. We pray still for Jennifer and her family, that they might find peace and comfort in the days to follow, days that are sure to be difficult.
Almighty and most merciful God, thou has remembered mercy and hast graciously delivered us out of our affliction and returned Jennifer safely to her family. We give Thee therefore most hearty thanks and praise that Thou hast shown Thyself favorable toward us, Thine unworthy servants. Thou, Lord, art merciful and gracious, slow to anger and plenteous in mercy. Hear, we beseech Thee, O Lord, the prayer of Thy supplicants and spare those who confess their sins unto Thee that Thou mayest bestow upon them both pardon and peace. Glory be to Thee, O God, forever; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord. Amen

Bless God for the return of this lovely young woman. Please God give strength to her and her family now.
They probably got the news. This thread was posted days ago!
My post on another thread, but probably better suited for this one.
Hello everyone,
Well maybe if you're having reservations about getting married, addressing it this way in front of 300 million people might not be the best idea. :)
I have not been on board much because I've been with the families the last two days. Because I work in the media, I've been trying to help coordinate media strategy. The bottom line, with a wedding party this big, it would be foolish to have 28 groomsmen/bridesmaids saying who knows what to whoever. Some of you know the role I played in this, and I do appreiciate your words and prayers VERY MUCH.
As for Jennifer, of course I can't explain this. It's not her background, I can tell you that. I have come to know her family better through this ordeal, and they are as solid and as faith-based a group as I've ever met. The same for the Mason family. John Mason is in many ways, my hero. He has been a rock of faith that humbles me since day 1 of this nightmare. If you think you've seen an outpouring of love for Jennifer and John over the last 3 days, trust me, you ain't seen nothing yet. We are eager to give them both hugs and love starting now.
i do not know what the future holds here, for her or for them as a couple. I know they are both in my prayers. Someone with as many faults as I have (no new threads on this please) has no right to think about judging someone else.
Yesterday, her father cried on television saying he prayed it was a case of "cold feet". There were millions of prayers (many many of them from you all) praying she be found safe and brought home. Prayers answered. I guess we don't get to set stipulations to God. His will and his work will prevail for good in all of this.
One last personal note. This was so hard on me, but my friends here at FR were a pillar of strength for me. I'll never forget it. There are those of you (you know who you are) that I think we're better off if we do not communicate. Some comments burn too deep for me to erase right now. But the vast majority of you have really helped me through this. I pray for you all as you have done for me.
God Bless,
John
