"Please pray for James and his family: Courtney, his wife, and his children: Judah and Savannah, Havah, and Eden," Holmlund said. "At a time when many of us feel powerless to help, your contribution will help relieve some of the financial burden of medical bills and many other emergency expenses."
She said that Dolezal frequently travels around the country at world speaking engagements at everything from family camps to academic conferences in addition to his regular college and seminary teaching.
"Your generosity will allow James and his family to focus on his recovery and healing, rather than the stress of lost income and mounting costs," she said.
