I am asking all my fellow cake decorators to keep a lookout for boy name Ben Ownby who disappeared from Beaufort Mo. I live out in that area and I know several friends who are cousins with Ben. He is 13 yrs old and last seeing wearing a rams jacket, a black back pack. The police are looking out for a white beat up truck. Possibly a NIssan with dents and rust and possibly a camper shell. This community is stricken with grief but still have high hopes that we will find him..... I am asking people to pray for Ben, Doris,William and his sister. We hope to find him soon....in attachment I am sending a song that has been played on a Christian song that I just believe will remind people to continue to pray for Ben to come home safe.

I'm not sure how many of you listen to 97.7 Joy FM, a Christian Rock station. They have made a remix of a song, He Is My Son, by Mark Schultz. The song includes audio bits of callers from all over with thoughts and prayers for the Ownby family. This song is VERY uplifting and moving. 97.7 is playing several times an hour as a reminder to say a prayer for the family and the safe return of Ben. You can go to the website, www.joyfmonline.com, and click on the word "download" under "NEWS & INFORMATION" to hear this song.
Just be prepared to be moved & have some Kleenex ready!
Lyrics to Mark Schultz Song... mixed in with prayers for Ben...
I'm down on my knees again tonight
I'm hoping this prayer will turn out right
See there is a boy that needs Your help
I've done all that I can do myself
His mother is tired
I'm sure You can understnad
Each night as he sleeps
She goes in to hold his hand
And she tries not to cry
As the tears fill her eyes
CHORUS:
Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me
Let me take his place somehow
See, he's not just anyone
He's my son
Sometimes late at night I watch him sleep
I dream of the boy he'd like to be
I try to be strong and see him through
But God who he needs right now is You
Let him grow old
Live life without this fear
What would I be
Living without him here
He's so tired and he's scared
Let him know that You're there
CHORUS
Can You hear me?
Can You see him?
Please don't leave him
He's my son
Thank you so much for taking the time to listen and hopefully Ben will be home soon.......

Oh and in case you did not know Ben disappeared on Monday after he got dropped off from the bus. His mother Doris is a cake decorator as well and I can't imagine what she is going thru. So far no one has been able to lead the law enforcers to the right truck.....That is the key to find the truck..If you want more information either go to www.ksdk.com or www.amberalert.com.....
I saw the Amber Alert for Ben...We are far away, but I can't imagine the heartache and terror in your community right now. I am keeping everyone in my prayers, my heart give a little clutch just thinking about it. May he be found safe and sound and returned to his family.
