PURPOSE OF THE TEAM: To spread the word about the message of hope in God's miracle in bringing Bob back from "one breath from death."

On April 6, 2005 Bob Brubaker faced a "near death experience" at University Hospital in Denver, Colorado. His lung collapsed when a chest tube inserted after a lung biopsy was removed. Bob was literally "one breath from death" when a second chest tube was inserted to save his life. Following that experience and Bob’s time in ICU recovering from blowing up to five times his normal size from the air that went throughout his body, Dr. Scott Worthen from National Jewish Medical Center was able to find Bob’s respiratory problem, a rare disease called Diffuse Pan Bronchialitis. As the diagnosis and treatment began so has God’s healing process. Bob has made remarkable strides in recovery to the point where his doctors in Denver used words like "amazing" and "remarkable" when he went for his three-month check-up at National Jewish Medical Center. For the complete story see www.bobbrubaker.com. Bob kept a running journal with pictures and continues to provide updates of his condition and what God is doing.

We are thankful for the great support we had for the "come back" event in which Bob, Jan, and others ran in the Walt Disney World Marathon in 2006. Since then members of the team have continued to participate in events wearing the One Breath From Death - Look What God Can Do jerseys to let everyone know about Bob's story and to be encouraged about what God can do.
