«We’re already seeing God’s miracles work with Izac.»
After England, Arkansas, high school student Izac Bellott found himself in the hospital with a sudden, life-threatening illness, his peers decided to organize a prayer rally.
NBC News affiliate KARK 4 reported that the 15-year-old came down with a fever, which resulted in an infection that moved through his blood and attacked his organs.
“He’s a very sweet, Godly, kindest person you will ever meet in your life,” family friend Bailey Webb told KARK 4.
The high school freshman was transferred to the Arkansas Children’s Hospital over the weekend and to aid in his recovery, the students decided to join together in prayer.
On Monday, over 100 students and staff gathered in a circle in the England High School’s gymnasium, bowed their heads and prayed for the student’s health.
Webb, who led the service, used it as a reminder that “tomorrow is not promised,” and that anyone could be in the position Izac is in.
“He’s still got a long road ahead of him,” his uncle James Sullivan said at the rally. “With your prayers, he’ll be back in that position before baseball season starts I hope!”
His aunt added, “We’re already seeing God’s miracles work with Izac. He’s the one that’s in control right now.”
Ramsey explained this is an accurate depiction of the town of England, which is “all about family and coming together when one’s needing it.”
The family told KARK 4 that the 15-year-old became more aware and responsive on Monday, although he’s not in the clear, yet.
