My name is Dana Mullineux Perrault. I'm a Pastor/Chaplain who works with critically injured/ill patients and their families. I'm working to get my foot in the door with our local Fire Department, local LEO's and Harborview Medical Center as a Christian Minister. This ministry is in its' infancy & your prayers, to see this ministry grow, are greatly appreciated.
Many ask me how this came about. It's very simple. For the last 18+ years I've been working on the legal end of auto accidents, witnessing the aftermath of significant tragedy again and again and again. In 2007 my late husband fell backwards, down 18 cement stairs, to his death. It was winter & below freezing outside. There was a witness to his fall, but it was a young teenager who believed him to be a Christmas tree that someone had thrown down the stairs (it happened at an apartment complex). 90 minutes later some passersby found him, deceased, at the bottom of the stairs. Due to the temperatures being well below freezing, the paramedics worked to revive him, with the thought in mind that his vital organs had been preserved due to the freezing temperatures. Paramedics were somewhat successful & David was transferred to Harborview Medical Center, our local Trauma Center. At Harborview David's life was saved only to leave us, his family (really just me, his wife), in the position of having to remove him from life support 12 weeks later. On April 19, 2007 my husband, David R. Mullineux, the father of my children, died in my arms.
This ministry is in honor of my late husband David. When a family in a situation like we found ourselves faced with calls me, I will be there & the team of Prayer Warriors that stand with me, who span the globe, in this ministry, will be praying for everyone who comes to us in need. We're here to follow in the footsteps that Jesus walked in. Jesus always had time for the sick, the hurting and those in need of Him. We aspire to do What Jesus Would Do with every resource available to us. I found myself, at the time of David’s fall, in the position of having no one willing to come to the hospital to sit & pace with me, aside from my uncle (Dan Munro – God Bless him) through my darkest hours. Even the Pastor that we had, at the time, wouldn’t come until the following morning & my husband’s life was hanging in the balance. Below you will see the my first sight of David, as soon as I was allowed to enter his room in the Trauma ICU.
This ministry isn’t one of convenience. My constraints consist of my two youngest children, who still live at home; my husband can work around my schedule and the children want to help by working around the needs of those less fortunate than we are. I am available, my time is God's to use as He sees fit. I have established a history at Harborview Medical Center over the last four years and would ask for your prayers as I apply to work with our local Fire Departments, Hospices, Police Departments and Hospitals. My soul aches for others who are facing the Hell that I have lived through and ministering to those very people is what God has called me to do.
